The Wandel Sea Basin from Holm Land to Lockwood Ø, eastern North Greenland

Abstract

The field work in the Wandel Sea Basin in 1980 (fig. 17) concluded the geological study initiated in 1976 (Håkansson & Heinberg, 1977; Håkansson, 1979). During the field seasons large collections of fossils and sediments were made throughout the Early Carboniferous to Paleocene sequence (fig. 18). Investigation of this material is at a preliminary stage, and detailed biostratigraphic correlations and lateral facies relations have yet to be established for most intervals. The present report summarises the observations made in 1980 and gives preliminary results.
