Abstract

Palaeomagnetic research in the Nagssugtoqidian mobile belt of West Greenland has been carried out by Beckmann & Mitchell (1976) and by Morgan (1976a, b) near the boundary with the Archaean, and by Beckmann et al. (1977) in Nordre Strømfjord and on the mountain Kællingehætten at Holsteinsborg. Fahrig & Bridgwater (1976) investigated both the Archaean and the Nagssugtoqidian. In East Greenland the author has determined palaeomagnetic poles for rocks in the Angmagssalik district. North-West Scotland is believed to have been attached to Greenland and so it is relevant to include remarks about the palaeomagnetism of the Lewisian.
