Abstract

Twelve species of bivalves are described for the Upper Cretaceous Ajlun Group of northern Jordan. The specimens were collected in three localities of the Fuheis (?middle to late Cenomanian), Hummar (late Cenomanian), and Shuayb (early Turonian) formations. Some of the species here described are reported for the first time in Jordan and confirm Tethyan paleobiogeographic affinities.
