Nice finds! :)

The little ammonites at the top are likely a mix of several species from the Hoplitidae found at this site.

The belemnites are mostly Neohibolites minimus. 

The bivalves seem to be the internal molds of Pectinucula pectinata. 

Not sure about the crabs, but the biggest one on the left may be Notopocorystes stokesi.

The scaphopod is probably Dentalium decussatum.

The three gastropods to the right may be Gyrodes sp ? but I can't remember for sure. 

The nautiloid maybe Eutrephoceras. 

And the uncoiled ammonite is Hamites sp if I remember correctly. 

Note : these names are those I learned thirty odd years ago so some of them may need updating. :headscratch:
