Abstract
Late Ordovician dispersed ornamented spores with trilete rays are recorded from the Troedsson Cliff Formation in Washington Land, western North Greenland. Biostratigraphical information from conodonts, acritarchs and chitinozoa confines the spores to the lower Pusgillian Stage, early Ashgill.
A new genus, Besselia, and two new species, Besselia nunaatica and B. polaris, are proposed.
