Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study included identification and systematic description of four new ostracoda species from the upper part of Kolosh Formation (Paleocene – E.Eocene), in the northern limb of Bekhair anticline, north Iraq. The studied species recorded for the first time belong to four genera and three families.
