Nice fossils.. I.cant help with the nut but I was thinking more like Walnut...I was also thinking the gastropod might be one of the Cancellarias and the clams possibly one of the Anadaras but would need to clean them up and possibly expose the hinge areas to compare to the figures.....but this pub might help if you are playing in the Astoria formation Miocene Marine Mollusks from the Astoria Formation in Oregon By ELLEN JAMES MOORE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 419. You can download from the USGS site here. If you locate yourself on the included maps you should be able to confirm if you are collecting in this formation.

Thanks for showing us.

That's always a smart thing to do :) 

 

This is a completely wild guess, but I'm gonna say that the gastropod is of the Buccinum genus. I don't know what species though. It's definitely from the Buccinidae (true whelks) family. 

 

Oh, and also, welcome to TFF!

 

Best regards,

I agree with Max.
