Notes on the Lower Palaeozoic clastic sediments of Peary Land, North Greenland

Abstract

Clastic sediments of Precambrian(?) to Silurian age outcrop over large areas of Peary Land (fig. 35). Total sediment thickness approaches 3 to 4 km, of which Silurian clastics account for approximately half. The main outcrop of Silurian clastics is south of Frederick E. Hyde Fjord whilst pre-Silurian clastic sediments mainly outcrop to the north of the fjord (fig. 35).
