Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Middle Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Wollaston Forland - Kuhn Ø area, central East Greenland

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out in order to gain information concerning the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments in central Bast Greenland (fig. 27). We were especially interested in the following topics: (1) To delineate sedimentary facies and interpret their depositional environment. (2) To erect a strict lithostratigraphical scheme for the sedimentary sequence. (3) To date the tectonic activity controlling the sedimentation at the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary.
