What are these shells found in a gravel bank along the South Platte?

While hiking about a quarter-mile from the South Platte river I found these shells in a gravel bank.

Most but not all had turned white, and they were in what looked like a gravel bank/deposit but it was a good way from the river.

Does anyone know what animals would have originally have been in the shells?
