BATHONIAN CALLOVIAN<br />
species as the depositional settings of these localities<br />
are comparable overall. However, a Callovian range is<br />
reported from the present Arctic regions of the Sverdrup<br />
Basin and Svalbard (Smelror 1993).<br />
Some exceptionally early occurrences of Ambo<strong>no</strong>sphaera<br />
calloviana and Gonyaulacysta helicoidea in<br />
the A. ishmae Chro<strong>no</strong>zone and of Pareodinia stegasta<br />
and Paraevansia brachythelis in the C. apertum Chro<strong>no</strong>zone<br />
are recorded in the present succession.<br />

Fig. 3. Schematic stratigraphical<br />
classification of the Middle Jurassic<br />
succession on Store Koldewey.<br />
The di<strong>no</strong>flagellate cysts in the Middle Jurassic succession<br />
are divided into an Upper Bathonian and a<br />
Lower Callovian di<strong>no</strong>flagellate cyst assemblage. The<br />
boundary is placed at 19.2 m, above which level a<br />
significant number of new species appear (Figs 2, 4).<br />
Most species in the Upper Bathonian assemblage also<br />
occur in the Lower Callovian assemblage and the composition<br />
of the Bathonian assemblage varies significantly<br />
between the few samples studied. The younger,
