ABSTRACT: The Marhøgda Bed occurring at base of the Adventdalen Group in Sassen− fjorden, Spitsbergen contains common ankerite–replaced belemnite skeletons. Petrographic, major element geochemical, and stable carbon and oxygen isotopic data indicate that the ankerite originated in a catagenic enviro...
