Pteriomorpha, Heterodonta, Paleoheterodonta and Anomalodesmata bivalves from the Kazhdumi Formation of the Geno and Gerash sections in the southeast of Zagros Mountains are studied here. In order to this research, bivalve speies are identified and described as follow: Arctica angulata, Birostrina concentrica, Ceratostreon flabellatum, Crassatella manzourensis, Flaventia belviderensis, Granocardium productum, Gyrostrea delettrei, Illymatogyra africana, Mytiloides concentricus, Neithea dutrugei, Neithea sp. 1, Neithea sp. 2, Paraesa faba, Pinna cfcretacea, Pholadomya fabrina, Pholadomya vignesi, Protocardia hillana, Pterotrigonia scabra, Rhynchostreon suborbiculatum, Tenea delettrei, Venericardia deserti. Many of these species excluding Ceratostreon flabellatum, Illymatogyra africana, Neithea dutrugei and Pterotrigonia scabraare reported for the first time from Iran. Kazhdumi Formation disconformably overlies the top of the Dariyan Formation and underlies the Gurpi Formation.
