The un-named Silurian(?) dolomite formation, Børglum Elv, central Peary Land

Abstract

The un-named Silurian(?) dolomite formation, described originally from the upper reaches af the valley of Børglum Elv (fig. 9) by Christie & Peel (1977, figs. 3,4) and widely distributed in Peary Land, has received little detailed attention in any of its outcrops. Although these outcrops were visited by R. L. Christie and J. S. Peel in 1974 (Peel & Christie 1975, Christie & Peel 1977), P. D. Lane and A. T. Thomas in 1978 and J. E. Mabillard in 1979 (the reports of the last two parties held as unpublished field accounts by GGU), no detailed log af the whole of this formation has been previously published. The section (fig. 9) was chosen 112 km south of that measured by Christie & Peel (1977, fig. 3H) in order to include the base af the formation.
