The "razor clam" is Baculites, a straight-shelled ammonite.

Interesting as we had this discussion in the ID section. I thought the same thing but had doubts as though do not resemble any baculites I have found or books I have looked at regarding NSR. That includes the NSR Guidebook. That is why I ask in the Id section. They pointed out that the second pic mid has the swirls which resemble razor clam fossils. 

 

I am good if that ID was wrong but not sure they are baculites.
