Material – Two moderately preserved specimens from Yakacik and Alacaatlı (Ankara area), Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.92. 10.5 11.6 5.4 2.2 Remarks – This small and rather flat rhynchonellid species was thoroughly discussed recently by VÖRÖS (2009) and was placed tentatively to the genus Jakubirhynchia. The present material did not allow investigation of the internal features; therefore, this tentative generic attribution is accepted here. J. fascicostata is very easy to separate from other rhynchonellids because it is entirely and finely ribbed and the bifurcate ribs appear in bundles posteriorly. J. fascicostata is widespread in the Sinemurian and Pliensbachian of the Alpine-Mediterranean region and now it is recorded from northern Anatolia.	en	Vörös, A.

The single specimen was not suitable to investigate the internal features; therefore, this tentative generic attribution is accepted here. P. flabellum can be distinguished from other species of Prionorhynchia by its laterally expanded subtrigonal, flabelliform outline and straight anterior commissure, with coarse zig-zag deflections. P. flabellum is a characteristic Pliensbachian species of the Alpine-Mediterranean region and this is its first record from northern Anatolia.	en	Vörös, A.

The above synonymy contains more items but far from being complete. The specimen figured by DULAI (2003, l. c.) does not show the diagnostic flattened frontal region of C. fronto, therefore, that identification is queried. The same holds true for the record by ALMÉRAS et al. (2010, l. c.) where the ribbing is too much coarse and the anterior view is missing. This Pliensbachian species is cosmopolitan in distribution, occurring in Northwest Europe, the Alpine-Mediterranean region, in the Atlas Mts, the Crimea and Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.94. 10.8 12.6 8.6 6.2 Remarks – This is a small Cirpa with high oval outline and somewhat “ cynocephalous ” lateral view. The uniplicate anterior commissure shows four narrowly spaced, sharp zig-zag deflections. The ornamentation consists of 8 to 9 regular ribs, which are weak on the posterior part and became very sharp anteriorly. C. borissiaki differs from C. fronto by its very narrow uniplication and that it has no anterior flattening. VÖRÖS & KANDEMIR (2011, l. c.) described this species and cited Moisseiev, 1934 as author. However, the correct date is 1926, since MOISSEIEV (1926, l. c.) properly described and figured the species borissiaki. So far, C. borissiaki was report- ed only from the Pliensbachian of the Pontian region (Crimea, Bulgaria, Turkey).	en	Vörös, A.

It has 11 ribs, five of which are in the uniplication. C. kiragliae was described by AGER (1959 a) from Yakacik (Turkey) and was recorded recently from the same locality by the present author (VÖRÖS 2014). Both authors discussed the relationships of C. kiragliae to other species of Cirpa. C. kiragliae seems to be endemic for Turkey (northern Anatolia).	en	Vörös, A.

666E87F46272FFB4FDD1812BC015F99C.taxon	materials_examined	Material – Three partly incomplete specimens from Beytepe (Ankara area), probably Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.98. 26.3 33.5 14.6 7.9 Remarks – This is the type species of the genus Salgirella, and it was profusely and properly illustrated in the classical literature (OPPEL 1861, l. c.; GEYER 1889, l. c.) and even by MOISSEIEV (1934, l. c.). On this basis, our specimens were easily identified as S. alberti. The illustrations of S. alberti given by DUMORTIER (1869, l. c.) and DULAI (2003, l. c.) are not fully convincing; they probably represent some other species. The same holds true for one of the figures by UHLIG (1880, pl. IV, fig. 2); the present author examined this specimen in the collection of the Padova University, and concluded that it may belong rather to the genus Prionorhynchia. The original spelling of the name albertii by OPPEL (l. c.) has been changed by GEYER (l. c.) to alberti; later this usage became prevailing, therefore, in accordance with the rules of the ICZN (ICZN 1999, Article 33.3), alberti is suggested as the correct spelling. S. alberti is a characteristic Sinemurian Alpine species, but it was recorded also from the Pliensbachian of other Mediterranean localities, the Crimea and Caucasus and now from Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

Material – One slightly damaged specimen from Beytepe (Ankara area), probably Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.100. 13.1 15.4 8.1 7.9 Remarks – Our specimen has laterally expanded subquadrangular outline, weak deflections on its lateral commissures and biplicate anterior margin with two, sharp, equidimensional (i. e. perfectly symmetrical) deflections. The characters of its beak also support its attribution to the genus Homoeorhynchia. The Turkish specimen is extremely similar to those figured by SIBLÍK (1967 b) on pl. X, fig. 1, as Slovenirhynchia maninensis and on pl. XII, fig. 3, as S. slovenica (the junior synonym of maninensis), therefore it was identified as maninensis. Siblík’s genus Slovenirhynchia was taken as synonymous with Homoeorhynchia (SUČIĆ-PROTIĆ 1969; AGER 1983). This was also accepted by SIBLÍK (1999, and pers. comm.), who considered maninensis as a representative of a morphological group within Homoeorhynchia, which was characterized by less cynocephalous (i. e. somewhat depressed) shape and symmetrically developed biplication. This “ maninensis - group ” differs from the examples mentioned by AGER (1983) in the “ marginal populations ” of H. acuta (J. Sowerby, 1816), bearing two or three sharp deflexions in their anterior commissures. These specimens of the marginal population have always asymmetrically developed secondary riblets or weak deflexions on the sides of the high uniplication, as illustrated by MOISSEIEV (1934, pl. V, figs 10, 11), AGER (1959 a, text-fig. 1) and VÖRÖS (2014, pl. I, figs 7, 8) from Yakacik (Turkey) and VÖRÖS (2009, pl. IX, fig. 5) from Hungary. Some other species, as possible members of the “ maninensis - group ”, e. g. H. steinmanni (Haas & Petri, 1882) and H. solitaria Siblík, 1999 were mentioned by SIBLÍK (1999), who discussed the differences between them as well. Further relat- ed forms were illustrated by SUČIĆ-PROTIĆ (1969) under the name Planirhynchia tantilla sp. nov. and by TCHOUMATCHENCO (1989) as Homoeorhynchia almaensis (Moisseiev, 1934). Especially some specimens figured by TCHOUMATCHENCO (1989, pl. II, figs 1 – 5) seem very similar to H. maninensis by their highly and sharply biplicate anterior commissure. It has to be mentioned, that the original specimen of „ Rhynchonella ” almaensis figured by MOISSEIEV (1934, pl. III, figs 51 – 54) is not biplicate, but shows three zig-zag deflections of different altitude. H. maninensis was recorded from the Upper Pliensbachian of the West Carpathians and the Balkans (Kotel) and now from northern Anatolia.	en	Vörös, A.

Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.101. 13.9 16.0 7.7 3.8 Remarks – This species probably belongs to the genus Cuneirhynchia on the basis of the planareas bordered by sharp ventral beak ridges; the slightly arched lateral commissures running close to the ventral beak ridges; the strongly deflected and nearly straight anterior commissure and the few (4 to 5), strong ribs, which appear only anteriorly. It stands close to C. palmata (Oppel, 1861), portrayed properly by OPPEL (1861, pl. XIII, fig. 2), UHLIG (1880, pl. V, fig. 4) and partly by GEYER (1889, pl. VI, figs 11, 13, 14), but differs from that by having fewer ribs (4 - 5, in contrast to 6 - 12 in C. palmata) and by undulate anterior commissure in contrast to the sharp deflections of C. palmata. Therefore, this species is described here as a separate taxon and only the affinity indicated.	en	Vörös, A. (2014): Early Jurassic brachiopods from diverse localities of northern Anatolia (Turkey).

The author examined the original material of ZITTEL (1869) in the Bayerische Staatssammlung (München) and confirmed that the tiny “ Rhynchonella ” meneghinii is characterized by subtriangular outline, faint ribs which develop just near the anterior margin and a shallow dorsal sulcus; the anterior margin is only slightly sulcate. On these grounds our specimens from Yakacik can definitely be identified with Holcorhynchia meneghinii. AGER (1959 a) described a closely related species, H. yakacikensis Ager, 1959 from Yakacik, which is, however, significantly more elongated than meneghinii. H. meneghinii was recorded from the Pliensbachian of the Central Appennines and Turkey.	en	Vörös, A. (2014): Early Jurassic brachiopods from diverse localities of northern Anatolia (Turkey).

666E87F4626BFFACFE57854DC7CAFB22.taxon	materials_examined	Material – Four variously preserved specimens from Beytepe and Alacaatlı (Ankara area), probably Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.106. 12.4 14.7 6.7 5.2 Remarks – G. curviceps is perhaps the most frequently cited Pliensbachian rhynchonellid species in Europe. It was profusely illustrated by ALMÉRAS et al. (2010, l. c.), ALMÉRAS & COUGNON (2013, l. c.) and HÖFLINGER (2012, l. c.) what served a firm basis for the identification of our specimens. G. curviceps was record- ed in a great number of localities in the Mediterranean region as well and when I was able to check personally in the respective collections, I recognized that G. curviceps became a comfortably used collective taxon among the numerous and partly vaguely defined species of the genus Gibbirhynchia. The date of publication of this species is inconsistently cited by different authors as 1856 or 1858. Quenstedt’s “ Der Jura ” was published in several parts in different years; the species curviceps was described in the first part (p. 138) therefore the proper date is 1856. G. curviceps is a Pliensbachian species with cosmopolitan geographical distribution.	en	Vörös, A. (2014): Early Jurassic brachiopods from diverse localities of northern Anatolia (Turkey).

Considering the illustrations given by AGER (1954, l. c. and 1962, l. c.), our specimens seem to show the greatest similarity to G. muirwoodae from among the many species of Gibbirhynchia. G. muirwoodae was recorded from the upper Pliensbachian of the NW-European region and Turkey.	en	Vörös, A. (2014): Early Jurassic brachiopods from diverse localities of northern Anatolia (Turkey).

Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.109. ~ 20.0 24.2 16.2 ~ 4.0 Remarks – This is the type species of the genus Callospiriferina, defined by ROUSSELLE (1977) as comprising the weakly ribbed spiriferinides with well-demarcated, smooth dorsal fold and ventral sulcus. Despite that its ventral beak is broken away, our specimens, especially the figured one, corresponds very well to the above description and to the figures cited in the synonymy. In the original description of C. tumida (under the name “ Spirifer tumidus ”) BUCH (1837, p. 53) made reference to “ Spirifer pinguis Ziethen, 1830 ”, and introduced the name tumidus for substituting the name pinguis, which was preoccupied for a Carboniferous species of “ Spirifer ”. Nevertheless, the name pinguis remained popular for a long time, and many authors used it, until SUČIĆ-PROTIĆ (1971, p. 50) then ROUSSELLE (1977) cleared up this confusion. C. tumida is a Sinemurian to Pliensbachian species of widespread distribution from the NW- European and Alpine-Mediterranean regions to North Africa and Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

Measurements – Remarks – This is a large Callospiriferina with laterally expanded oval to subtrigonal outline. The hinge margin is straight and very wide, its length attains the whole width of the shell, and protrudes from the outline. The valves are almost equally convex. The dorsal valve is more inflated posteriorly. The ventral umbo is wide, very high and strongly apsacline. The interarea is a little wider than high and almost flat. The dorsal umbo is well developed. The lateral commissures are poorly preserved. The anterior commissure is highly uniplicate forming a narrow, rather sharp, unbroken arch. The linguiform extension is distinctly protracted anterodorsally. The lateral flanks of the valves are covered by 7 to 9 strong but blunt ribs; the central fold and sulcus are smooth.	en	Vörös, A.

Measurements – Remarks – This frequently cited and figured Alpine species of the genus Liospiriferina was recently discussed in detail by VÖRÖS (2009). L. alpina is easily identified on the basis of its circular outline, the simple, smooth biconvex valves, the straight anterior commissure and the elevated ventral beak with rather high, trigonal interarea. ALMÉRAS & COUGNON (2013, p. 30) suggested that the item L. alpina by VÖRÖS (2009) should be referred to L. hartmanni (Zieten, 1830). However, this can not be accepted, because L. hartmanni clearly differs from L. alpina by having transversely elongated outline, uniplicate anterior commissure and massive dorsal umbo. The specimen figured by ALMÉRAS & COUGNON (2013, l. c.) does not correspond to the typical L. alpina because its anterior commissure is not straight but definitely uniplicate. L. alpina is a typical Sinemurian to Pliensbachian Alpine-Mediterranean species but it was rarely recorded also from NW-Europe, Algeria and Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

Measurements – Remarks – This species was profusely illustrated and exhaustively discussed by VÖRÖS (2009) and the identification of our specimens is beyond doubt. It is worth mentioning that all Turkish specimens, including those figured by AGER (1959 a, 1991) and VÖRÖS (2014) represent the isometric variants of L. aspasia; they did not reach the bilobate growth stage. Nevertheless, they definitely belong to L. aspasia, what is further supported by the internal features illustrated by AGER (1991, fig. 2) and by the present paper (Fig. 76). Both series of cross sections show the reduced hinge plates, the indistinct crural bases, triangular in cross section and the simple loop with arched transverse band. One specimen figured by TCHOUMATCHENCO (1990, pl. VII, fig. 3) from Kotel, may represent a juvenile L. aspasia. This is a long-ranging species, from the Sinemurian to the early Toarcian. Its frequent occurrence in the lower Pliensbachian of the Mediterranean region initiated the classical term “ Strati con T. aspasia ”. Later on, the geographical distribution of this species was proved to extending to a wider area, including North Africa and Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

In the original concept by DAVIDSON (1851) T. waterhousi was characterized by gently sulcate anterior commissure. Later, by synonymizing the species subdigona (Oppel, 1853) the forms with straight anterior commissure were also included (DELANCE 1974; ALMÉRAS & FAURÉ 2013). Our specimen shows gently strangulate, straight anterior commissure, therefore stands closer to the “ subdigona ” - type.	en	Vörös, A.

666E87F46262FF9BFD80804BC1E2FD7E.taxon	materials_examined	Material – Five partly incomplete specimens from Beytepe (Ankara area), probably Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.122. 34.5 31.6 21.4 – Remarks – This species of Zeilleria was profusely and well illustrated by some classical authors (DAVIDSON 1878, l. c.; PARONA 1885, l. c.) and was exhaustively revised by DELANCE (1974). On this basis the identification of our specimens seems justified. Z. subnumismalis is a rather large, conservative form, with subcircular outline, moderate convexity and straight commissures. Some items of the above synonymy do not conform to these basic features, e. g. the specimen figured by MOISSEIEV (1926, l. c.) is too elongated; another item by MOISSEIEV (1934, l. c.) is too small; their attribution to Z. subnumismalis is questionable. This is a Pliensbachian species of the NW-European region but it was recorded also from the Alpine-Carpathian region, the Balkans (Kotel), perhaps from the Crimea and now from Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

Recently VÖRÖS (2009) gave a detailed external and internal morphological description and discussion of Z. mutabilis. Externally, it is easy to recognize by its very simple but constant morphology (subpentagonal outline, moderately flat valves, straight commissures, erect to slightly incurved beak), and on the basis of these features, the identification of our specimens seems to be justified. Z. mutabilis is frequent in the Sinemurian and Pliensbachian of the Alpine-Mediterranean region, but occurs also in North Africa, the Balkans and Turkey; therefore, it tends to be cosmopolitan in distribution.	en	Vörös, A.

Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.124. 11.3 10.3 4.9 2.7 Remarks – A. resupinata is a frequently illustrated and well-known European zeilleriid species and it was thoroughly discussed by DELANCE (1974) and ALMÉRAS et al. (2010). On the basis of its elongated oval outline, erect beak with well-developed beak ridges and the shallow but long dorsal sulcus, starting very posteriorly, our specimen was easy to identify with this species. A. resupinata differs from A. anatolica (Vadász, 1913) by its narrower sulcus and by its oval outline, in contrast to the subpentagonal outline of A. anatolica, where the greatest width is near the anterior end of the shell. A. resupinata occurs frequently in the Pliensbachian of the NW-European region, but was recorded also in North Africa, the Balkans (Kotel) and Turkey; therefore, it tends to be cosmopolitan in distribution.	en	Vörös, A.

Material – Seven moderately preserved specimens from Günüviran (Bilecik area), Kösrelik Kızığı (Ankara area) and Çalık (Gümüşhane area), loose from Upper Sinemurian to Pliensbachian interval. Measurements – Remarks – This typical species of the genus Aulacothyris was first described by VADÁSZ (1913 a, b) from Yakacik (Turkey), and a detailed revision of the same topotypical material was given recently by VÖRÖS (2014), including the demonstration of the internal morphology of A. anatolica. It was also shown that A. salgirensis introduced by MOISSEIEV (1926), was very similar externally and probably conspecific with A. anatolica. This view was strongly supported by the serial sections of A. salgirensis published by ANTOSHTCHENKO (1970, fig. 4), which are particularly similar to those of A. anatolica. Our species differs from A. resupinata (J. Sowerby, 1816) by its broad and shallow sulcus and that its greatest width is attained near the anterior end of the shell. From this point of view, A. anatolica is somewhat similar to A.? ballinensis (Haas, 1912; see in VÖRÖS 2009), but it is more elongated and its sulcus starts more posteriorly and is significantly deeper. A. anatolica was known only from Yakacik (Turkey), but in the light of the new data presented here, it seems to be widespread in other parts of northern Anatolia.	en	Vörös, A.

Material – Two poorly preserved specimens from Alacaatlı (Ankara area), probably Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.127. 11.4 11.7 7.5 3.2 Remarks – This species is very closely related to B. pedemontana (Parona, 1893), the type species of Bakonyithyris and was recently revised and discussed in detail by VÖRÖS (2009). One of our specimens, illustrated in figs. 107 – 109, is a typical representative of B. apenninica, whereas the anterior commissure of the other specimen tends to be somewhat trapezoidal and reminding in this respect to B. meneghinii (Parona, 1880). B. apenninica is a dominantly Pliensbachian species, typical for the Alpine-Mediterranean region but it was recorded also from North Africa and now from Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.

Material – One moderately preserved specimen from Alacaatlı (Ankara area), probably Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.128. 12.1 12.4 5.1 – Remarks – This species has a very characteristic, flat, lenticular shape and a marked ventral umbo, bordered by sharp beak ridges. C. numismalis was discussed in details by DELANCE (1974) and ALMÉRAS & FAURÉ (2000), who illustrated the rather wide morphological variability and cleared up its generic attribution. On this basis, the identification of our specimen, though it is rather small, seems to be confirmed. C. numismalis is a characteristic NW-European species, long-ranging from the late Sinemurian to the Pliensbachian. It was described and illustrated from the Balkans (Kotel) and Crimea and another localities of Turkey by AGER (1959 a) and VÖRÖS & KANDEMIR (2011).	en	Vörös, A.

Material – One poorly preserved specimen from Yakacık, Pliensbachian. Measurements – L W T Ch INV 2014.129. 13.4 11.7 6.1 – Remarks – Our specimen is rather poorly preserved, but by its oval outline, straight commissures, the beak characters, the presence of the median septum and first of all the radial multiplication render it the closest to F. guerangeri. The original figures by DESLONGCHAMPS (1856, l. c.) portray a specimen with rather angular anterior part trapezoidal in outline and the illustration of “ Waldheimia tranzensis ” by DAL PIAZ (1907, l. c.) also corresponds to this. Later authors (DUBAR 1942; DELANCE 1974), on the basis of larger material, expanded the concept of this species and included forms with more oval outlines. Similar forms, where, in contrast to the typical F. guerangeri, the marginal multiplication appeared only at the anterior margin, have been described and illustrated by TCHOUMATCHENCO (1990, p. 33, pl. V, fig. 1, pl. VII, fig. 7) from Kotel as Fimbriothyris sp. indet., and by VÖRÖS & KANDEMIR (2011, p. 359, figs 5 / 7, 5 / 8) from the Eastern Pontides as Fimbriothyris sp., aff. guerangeri. These probably represent another, closely allied species of Fimbriothyris. F. guerangeri is a Pliensbachian species, rather cosmopolitan in geographical distribution, from the NW-European and the Mediterranean regions to Turkey.	en	Vörös, A.
