Öz A single specimen of an odontopteroid plant fossil is described from the Westphalian C-D of Azdavay, in northern Anatolia. Its broadly attached pinnules show the presence of sub-parallel nervules which are anastomosing freely. It thus combines the properties of the genera Odontopteris and Linopteris s. 1. (including Reticulopteris). Consequently, it should be considered as representing a new genus which stands to Odontopteris  in the same relationship as Linopteris to Neuropteris. For this new genus the name Anastomopterisi s proposed.
