Abstract

Conodonts of late Early Ordovician age (late Canadian, early-middle Arenigian) are identified from the Danmarks Fjord Member of the Wandel Valley Formation at its type locality near the head of Danmark Fjord, eastern North Greenland. The identifications confirm recent suggestions of an Early Ordovician age for the member made on lithostratigraphic grounds, and refute earlier opinions that the dolomite was probably of Early Cambrian age.
