Abstract

Upper Palaeozoic sediments in North Greenland were deposited in basins formed as the result of rifting between Norway, Greenland and Svalbard. The succession comprises Upper Carboniferous fluviatile sediments, Upper Carboniferous mixed shallow marine siliciclastic sediments and carbonates, Lower Permian shallow water carbonates, and Upper Permian carbonates, cherts and shales. Major depositionaJ sequences encompass the following intervals: early Moscovian, mid Moscovian - Gzelian, Asselian-Kungurian, and Ufimian-Kazanian.
