Taxonomic list comments:In the description the material is labelled Kapp Olsen, Bjornoya. Stratigraphical horizon: spirifer Limestone (Artinskian-Upper Permian). The label on the specimen gives the locality as Polakkfjellet (southern Spitsbergen, collected by K. Birkenmajer, 1970), whereas in Paleontologisk Museum’s file the material is labelled Bellsund, Diabasodden (? Diabasbukta), 'Cancrinella Limestone'. The latter fits very well with the light grey dolomitic matrix and contrasts with the spiculitic nature of the Kapp Olsen strata.
