A Late Jurassic Boreal echinoderm Lagerstätte from Janusfjellet, central Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway
A well preserved, low diversity assemblage of fossil echinoderms is described from the Volgian Slottsmøya Member (Agardhfjellet Formation) on central Spitsbergen. Five species are recognized: the isocrinid Chariocrinus sp. A, the pedinoid Hemipedina sp. A, the forcipulate asteroid Asteriidae sp. A,...
