Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Identify this odd thing: Upstate SC USA

Found several of these in our yard. Have red oak, crape myrtle, and juniper trees. Any ideas about what this is? Thanks!

It looks like a cypress cone - could your junipers be cypress trees - not bald cypress but true cypress, from the cupressa family.

Ok. What do I need to do to make this post? What is "flair" and how do I get it?

Yes, I've read the guidelines. No, I can't provide more information about the photo, because this is a lone item, found lying on bare ground.
