Abstract

Silurian palynomorphs from a single sample from the Chester Bjerg Formation, near Halls Grav, Hall Land, western North Greenland are of Wenlock or possibly early Ludlow age. Graptolites from the same sequence indicate a Pridoli (latest Silurian) age. The strata in question are the youngest known pre-Innuitian orogeny deposits in North Greenland. Possibie reworking of the palynomorphs in the turbidite sequence is discussed.
