Material examined.—Treskelen, sample and one thin section ZPAL Br. 12/Cr. 45, Gipsvika, thin section PMO 170.929.
Remarks.—The current material of Archimedes is distinguished from other fenestellids by the growth shape of the zoarium. Zooecial measurements are insufficient for a detailed description. Czarniecki (1964) described Archimedes aff. magnus Condra and Elias, 1944 from coral horizon IV, Treskelen, but it is not possible to tell whether the current specimens can be attributed to the same taxon. Czarniecki (1964) did not provide zooecial observations, and it is not possible to revise his identification. Nakrem (1994a: 98– 100) described other occurrences of Archimedes from the Upper Carboniferous of the inner Isfjorden area, not considered to be con−specific with the material from Treskelen.
