Mesozoic bivalvia

[ozgur70]

Turkey, Karaman

Late Mesozoic

[Ludwigia]

Nice! Is that a Cucullaea perhaps?

[abyssunder]

The preservation looks very nice. Are you sure of the geological age of it?
The Karaman high plane yields Miocene fossils like cardiids, if I'm not wrong.
Maybe we are dealing with something like that.
Please, wait other opinions.

Family Arcadae. Not sure about the genus, but will look it up if no one else jumps in with a solid answer.

The closest that I can find is the genus Anadara.  

 

The first photo is Anadara aequicostata, Plio-Pleistocene James City Fm, Lee Creek Mine. The second is Anadara campyla, Plio-Pleistocene Caloosahatchie Beds in Sarasota, FL.

The age is surely Serravalian.

Or more recent!

This one sprang immediately into my mind:

I do not say, your shell is the same species, but it looks quite similar.

And I think, it was just an error in your first post: Miocene vs. Mesozoic, @ozgur70. No problem, this can happen .

SOrry Sorry Sorry... 

These are all Miocene.... Not mesozoik... A big mistake of "M"

That was a nice topic, Franz.
