I have a building nearby with limestone slabs. As far as I know, it is Miocene lithotamnian limestone from the vicinity of Pińczów in south-eastern Poland. There are numerous fossils of small organisms visible in the wall. Can I ask for help with identification? They are cut and often visible in cross-section, but any clue will be nice.

1,2,5, and 6 appear to be slices through bivalve shells.  3 and 4 look like bryozoans.

the spirally thingy in  " 02 " might be a specially adapted ( vermetid ) gastropod cross-section
