When: Cisuralian (298.9 - 273.0 Ma)
Environment/lithology: marine; gray, green shale and condensed, coarse-grained sandstone
•
•Approximate English transaltion: "All fish are highly probably fragments from the same zone (Holtedahl 1931), but they are found in two slightly different rocks. The first is a greenish-gray shale..The second rock-type is more sandy in texture, more coarse, hard and compact."
Size class: macrofossils

Collected by Prof. O. Holtedahl, Dr. L. Størmer, Curator Hoeg, A. Heintz and unnamed students in 1931, Summer 1932, Spring 1933
• Original German: "Das hier beschriebene material ist hauptsächlich im Herbst 1931 von Prof. O. Holtedahl, Dr. L. Størmer und stud. P. Størmer in Semsvik (Asker) bei Oslo eingesammelt. Im Fruhling 1933 wurde auf einer Studentenexkursion unter Leitung von Prof. Holtedahl in einem groBen Schieferstucke, das schon im Sommer 1932 von anstehendem Gestein abgespaltet war, eines der interessantesten Stucke der ganzen Sammlung - ein Pleuracanthus Zahn - ganz zufallig gefunden. Endlich haben auch Konservator Hoeg (1932-33) und ich selbst (1931, 33) einige kleine Fischfragmente in der selben Lokalitat gefunden."

Stormer (Asker) in Oslo. In Spring 1933, students on a field trip led by Professor Holtedahl in a large shale pieces, which was spun off in the summer of 1932 by bedrock, one of the most interesting pieces of the whole collection - a Pleuracanthus tooth - found quite by accident. Finally, have also curator Hoeg (1932-33) and I even found (1931, 33), some small fragments of fish in the same locality."
