Slams are bludgeoning. Tail slaps go into this category as well. Tentacles too, I think.
Bite is piercing, as would being stung.
Claws are slashing, can be argued to also be piercing.
According to the bestiary:
Bite = B/P/SClaw = B/S
Gore = P
Hoof/Tentacle/Wing = B
Pincers/Tail Slap = B
Slam = B
Sting = P
Talon = S
In addition it states:

The Damage Type column refers to the sort of damage that the natural attack typically deals: bludgeoning (B), slashing (S), or piercing (P). Some attacks deal damage of more than one type, depending on the creature. In such cases all the damage is considered to be of all listed types for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
So its probably up to the DM to decide whether a specific creature's bite really does all three types of damage or just one.

I knew my answers weren't all good, it was an off-the-top-of-my-head thing. Thanks for the Bestiary answers!
