Catalogue of Jurassic/Cretaceous fossils and sedimentary rocks from Andøya, northern Norway

This catalogue provides a list of the fossil and rock material collected on Andøya in northern Norway from 1867 to the present. The first official collecting was made by T. Dahll in the late 1860's, during work to explore the economic potential of the coal resources on Andøya. J.H.L. Vogt also undertook extensive fieldwork at Andøya and published the first geological framework in 1905. Other collections now in the Paleontological Museum, Oslo (PMO) include those made by J.P. Friis (the beginning of this century), B. Parmann (fieldwork in the summer of 1919) and T. Ørvig and N. Heintz (collections from the summer of 1952). S.B. Manum made collections in 1957 and 1958. A. Dalland collected the most extensive material during several field seasons in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The Ørvig/Heintz collection is deposited in PMO, the Tromsø Museum (TSGF), and the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm (NRM). Dalland's material is deposited in PMO and in the Bergen Museum (BM). This is the only collection of significant stratigraphic value.
