Abstract :The Salyan Formation Upper Burdigalian-Lower Langhian of K. Maraş, Turkey contains thick-bedded deposits of oysters. Bioerosion structures found on the Early-Middle Miocene oyster specimens Crassostrea gyrphoides Schlotheim, 1813 from the Northwestern K. Maraş Basin area are much affected by the boring of micro-organisms. The borings, represented by three ichnogenera, are assigned to Renichnus isp., Caulostrepsis isp., and Entobia isp. The activity of Clionid sponges, Polychaete worms and vermetid gastropods have also been observed
