Abstract. 18 taxa, belonging 12 generaand subgenera of the bivalvesubclassespalaeotaxodonta and
Pteriomorphia (OrdersArcoida,Pterioidaand Limoida)are descnibedfrom the rich faunal assemblages
of the
MiddleJurassic(Bajocian - , westernside of the EiucegiMountains.In the presentpaper,the
majorityof thesetaxaare and described the firsttimefor studiedarea.The bivalvesare ioundin
sedimentsrangingfrom us_sandstones,argillaceous sifts to biocalcarenites.
For these taxa,

arealsorecorded.
