Agardhfjellet Formation, Geological formation in Svalbard, Norway.
The Agardhfjellet Formation consists of dark-grey to black silty mudstone layers that extend across central Spitsbergen with a thickness of 60 meters.
The formation dates from the Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods, spanning the Bathonian to Ryazanian stages, approximately 168 to 140 million years ago.
Scientists from multiple countries conduct research at this site to study marine fossils and understand the evolution of prehistoric ocean environments.
Researchers access the formation through designated research stations in Svalbard, where specialized equipment is required due to the Arctic climate conditions.
The Slottsmøya Member of the formation contains numerous complete ichthyosaur and plesiosaur fossils alongside 54 different invertebrate species.
