Abstract
All new macro-paleontological samples described below were collected at two localities of Hakkari area (Turkey/Iraq boundary), and Mardin-Mazıdağı area (close to Turkey/Syria boundary). We present here the first section, especially northernmost occurrence known of a Tethyan record of veneriids located close to the Turkey/Syria boundary. The Aphrodina dutrugei (Cocquand, 1862) heterodont bivalve species and monotaxic shell beds which are the focus of this study occurs within the Derdere Formation which form the middle part, Cenomanian interval of the Mardin Group.
