This study focuses on a mid-latitude dust record from the Wordiekammen Formation, a carbonate ramp on Spitsbergen. The ramp developed on the Northern Pangean margin in Moscovian (Carboniferous) through Sakmarian (Permian) time at a paleolatitude of 30-35°N. The study site on the Nordfjorden High was...
