Observations on the field relationships and characteristics of the Rødeø Conglomerate of inner Scoresby Sund, East Greenland (with notes on the Lower Permian sediments of the Schuchert Flod area)

Abstract

In the summer of 1970, four weeks were spent in mapping and making sedimentological observations in the red conglomerates and sandstones (the Rødeø Conglomerate) of Rødefjord and Rypefjord area. A period of ten days was also spent looking at the Permian and (?) Carboniferous sediments of the Schuchert Flod area for comparative purposes. The fieldwork was carried out with the assistenee of C. Biilow. The Rødeø Conglomerate had previously been briefly described by Biltler (1957, 1961) and the Schuchert Flod sequence in more detail by Kempter (1961).
