Pohang marine fossils · Clues to an ancient sea

Fossils from the middle Miocene Duho Formation · modern Pohang region

Interpretive illustration of brittle-star mould fossils, not a specimen photograph or a reconstruction of living appearance.

Use brittle-star fossils from Pohang’s Duho Formation to separate observations from environmental interpretations. Marine fossils are valuable clues, but alone they do not measure water depth or how far land rose.
