Therefore, biostratigraphic correlations are made. The northern Sigurdfjellet and
Kapp Kjeldsen faunal divisions are equivalent to the southern Austfjord Member. This
is based on their Doryaspis – Gigantaspis association (Fig. 2). The southern Dicksonfjord
Member is correlated with the northern Keltiefjellet faunal division due to the common
occurrence of Doryaspis nathorsti and Arctolepis decipiens (Fig. 2).
The northern Stjørdalen faunal division is not clearly established due to the lack of
recent faunal information. However the occurrence of Doryaspis minor (N. Heintz
1960) in this division is considered as equivalent of the presence of Doryaspis lyktensis
in the southern Dicksonfjord Member (Fig. 2).
