Lower and Middle Ordovician platform carbonate lithostratigraphy of Warming Land, Wulff Land and Nares Land, North Greenland

Abstract

Four formations, namely the Johansen Land Formation (new), the Warming Land Formation (new) including the Røhling Land Member (new), the Steensby Gletscher Formation (new) and the Cape Webster Formation, are assigned to the lower part of the Ordovician platform carbonate sequence in the Warming Land/Nares Land region. These are formally described, and a correlation with the sequences in Washington Land and Peary Land is proposed.
