I have received a new batch of fossils from the same locality as my last post. Here's the geologic info:

 

Age: Upper Miocene-Tortonian

Lithology: Sandstone(probably)

General area: Pannonian basin

 

Now, onto the fossils:

 

1) Sponge?

2) Unknown(possibly bivalve?)

3) Bivalve(1)

4) Bivalve(2)

All help is appreciated. If you need any more info, just ask.

Unfortunately, they are only fragments, so I would say, there are no sufficient data for a precise ID. :(
1 - ?
2 - probably oyster
3, 4 - pectinids

Thanks for the info, guys! I've checked out the linked PDFs, and sure enough some of my bivalves closely resemble those in the document.
