Yes, those are oyster shells.

The rest are rocks. 

Appreciate you, note on archeology side we have found broken archaic points down from where most of the items where found. Also crude stone tools and workings more in the general area so we are just wanting to be sure.

Always worth checking. :)

Next time it might be something more interesting.

Keep looking!

Definitely! A side note we did find this shell buried at other family owned creek bed. Second one from research appears to possibly be petrified bamboo. Shell is snapping turtle our thinking.

Second item after turtle shell is another rock.

Not a fossil.
