Thin-skinned structures at the basin-shelf transition in North Greenland

Abstract

Description is given of the structural pattern in the southern part of the North Greenland fold belt between northern Nyeboe Land and Adolf Jensen Fjord. The structures prove to be of thin-skinned fold-and-thrust type with southeriy vergence, quite distinct from that of the north-verging, multiply deforrned orthotectonic zone to the north.
