Abstract

Fish remains from the Wijde Bay Series of the Wijdefjorden area include (1) pteraspids, not previously recorded from so high an horizon, which appear to bear sensory canals upon the exterior surface of the ventral disc; (2) an Asterolepis, and (3) rhizodontid scales, resembling those of Holoptychius. A very large antiarch from an unknown horizon is also recorded.
