Ostrea Species Id

Hello everybody!

On a site of lower Pliocene in Greece I found many fossil ostreas.

Most of them I think are Ostrea Edulis species, like the one below:

But some seem different. Could you please help me conclude with the ID on the below?

Thank you in advance!

The below is a whole piece, it is fossilized closed and complete.

I think a modern shell book will get you close if these are Pliocene
