paleonet Seymour Island fossils

["Mike Everhart" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
I recently had an inquiry regarding the discovery of fossils on Seymour
Island by the Swedish explorer, Otto Nordenskiold in 1902-03...  Apart from
the phrase, "he discovered fossils on Seymour and Vega islands...", I have
found nothing else.

A check of the BFV shows a number of paleo-papers were published by Otto
Nordenskiold in the early 1900s, but none seem to deal with fossils from
Seymour Island or Antarctica. Is anyone aware of what was discovered on
Seymour Island or if the material was published?

Please reply off list to mike@oceansofkansas.com
