Looks like Pectinidae, but not enough there to place to genus, let alone age.

I suspect this is a corbulid; the left valve appears smaller and the
umbo of the right valve is more inflated than the left. Corbulidae
have been around since at least the late Cretaceous.

This is a bivalve, just an internal mold or steinkern. Probably
Eocene but could be late Cretaceous. By the coiling of the umbones
I'd suspect Cardiidae.
