I'm really early on in the woodworking journey and I've made my first step away from plywood and bought a box of assorted timber on eBay. I asked them, before sending it, to mark what it is but they didn't and I wonder if the experts here can help a bit.

What should be in the box is:

Oak
Iroko
Sapele
Red Grandis

Could anyone help identify which pile is what?

There are a few databases online, like the wood database, and some charts of wood density. Your pieces are similar sizes, and sometimes just picking each one up and ranking them heavy to light can help you confirm your identification. I think the ones you have are similar densities apart from oak, slightly heavier, so maybe not that helpful now but in future it may be.
 
didn't know wether to start new thread, but thought I would tag onto tis?

anyway, any thoughts on what this is?
