Please help identify the fossils I found.

Found those recently in a canyon in Israel, I think less than ten kilometers from the sea shore. By the formation and the height found, it can be from a meter to twenty five meters comparing to the banks and cliffs near by,  I would assume that they are pretty old, maybe dinosaur times, can't be specific about it and can easily be mistaken ... I suppose that they can be parts of fossilized ammonites due to their swirling and ribbing. Hope the pictures will be good enough.

Some sort of bivalve, perhaps somewhere in the oyster group, would be my bet.

I was thinking oyster also.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

And from the other sides of one of the stones it is like th is...
Looks like fibers or tubes. Can it be remains of corals?

P.S. Thanks for your answers, they really helped to look at a different perspective, and I think you were right.

Is there a way to determine an approximate age of those fossils?

You would need to do research on the stratigraphy of the location and if possible the exact outcrop where these were found.

According to the chart I found it can be from the middle to late Jurassic.
It's very interesting, I was expecting something like that, but wasn't sure about it.
