This study investigates the unusual muscle scars observed in some specimens of Pododesmus patelliformis (Linnaeus, 1761). Materials were collected between 1964 and 1977 from 18 stations across the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea. In only 49 out of the 85 specimens examined (57,7%), the muscle scars were distinctly separated from each other as described in the general literature. Thirty-six specimens (42,3%) exhibited muscle scars that differed from the known pattern. These atypical muscle scar types were categorized into five types, explained, photographed, and illustrated in this study.
