Gastropods from the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous seep deposits in Spitsbergen, Svalbard
Eleven gastropod species from seven latest Jurassic–earliest Cretaceous hydrocarbon seep deposits from central Spitsbergen, Svalbard are described and illustrated. Six new species and one new genus are introduced. Sassenfjordia gen. nov. is tentatively classified as a naticoid and is characterized b...
