Ciao Ezequiel

Shell 3 is surely a  Venus verrucosa  (Linneo 1758)
        4 could be a Lutraria lutraria(Linneo 1758) or Lutraria oblonga
sin.of magna(Da Costa 1778)
           it's impossible to identify it...it's more damaged...
        2 very difficult....could be a  Pisania maculosa(Lamark 1822) but
the photo is dark and
           without apex.. it should be of the genus Chauvetia ....I don't know

Hope this helps!
Ciao
