I honestly don't know either..but I would buy a snail after you researched a fair price.

You have stuff from at least two different loclaities.

The trilobite and orthocones (straight shell nautiloids) maybe Pennsylvanian age or older. I also see bulb-like things that maybe crinoid cups.

The snails, oysters, urchins, scallops, lima clams look like Lower Cretaceous age stuff.
