A brief description is given of Vaugonia athena sp. nov. from the Borea! Bathonian Ishmae Zone of Olympen, Jameson Land, one of the rare known representatives of the bivalve family Trigoniidae in the Boreal Realm of the Jurassic. Its affinities lie with Middle Jurassic species from western North America and with an early Bajocian species from northwestern Europe, but it differs from contemporaneous forms in the Bathonian of Britain.
