Rousseau J., Nakrem H.A. (2012) An Upper Jurassic Boreal echinoderm Lagerstätte from Janusfjellet, central Spitsbergen // Norwegian Journal of Geology, Vol. 92, P.133-161.

Pdf: http://www.geologi.no/data...._Pr.pdf

A well-preserved, low-diversity assemblage of fossil echinoderms from the early Middle Volgian in the Slottsmøya Member (Agardhfjellet Formation) has been discovered at Janusfjellet, Sassenfjorden area, central Spitsbergen. Five species are recognised: the isocrinid Chariocrinus sp., the pedinoid Hemipedina sp., the forcipulate asteroid Asteriidae sp., the ophiacanthid Ophiacanthidae sp. and the ophiurid Ophiurinae sp. A depositional environment model reconciling autecologic, taphonomic and sedimentary evidence is presented. The Janusfjellet Lagerstätte was formed by a single, rapid burial event during a storm, entombing together autochthonous asteroids and ophiurids, and allochthonous crinoids and echinoids on a dysoxic muddy sea-floor. Comparable echinoderm material from the Boreal Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous is scarce, outdated and usually poorly described and illustrated. The scarcity of reported occurrences probably results from a collector bias for rare complete specimens and does not reflect the true echinoderm composition of Mesozoic high-latitude communities.
