• Repository: Institute of Palaeobiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (ZPAL), and the second part at the Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow (AI).
•The specimens have been collected during two subsequent Paleontological Expeditions to Spitsbergen in 1974, 1975 organized by the Institute of Palaeobiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, under the leadership of Professor Gertruda Biernat. This material was enriched by specimens collected during the Polish Spitsbergen Expedition (Birkenmajer 1960), led by Professor S. Siedlecki in 1960, and lent for study by Dr. S. Czarniecki (Institute of Geological Sciences in Cracow).
