Continuation of the palaeomagnetic field work in eastern North Greenland

Abstract

The aim of the 1980 fjeld work was to extend the collection of orientated rock samples from North Greenland obtained in 1979 (Abrahamsen & Marcussen, 1980). The material consists of Upper Proterozoic to Lower Palaeozoic sediments as well as the presumed interglacial sediments at Kap København (Table 5). The two years' palaeomagnetic field work has resulted in anearly complete collection of orientated rock samples from all formations older than the Silurian flysch. The collection may be divided into six stratigraphical units (figs 28, 29).
