Abstract

The Precambrian continental sandstones in the Julianehåb district, South Greenland, are discussed with regard to distribution, lithology, structures, and origin. The sandstone/volcanics sequence, which was included as part of the Gardar formation by Wegmann (1938), is established as a separate formation - The Eriksfjord Formation. The formation is divided into six members, and a tentative correlation between the now separate sandstone areas is presented.
