Field work in Nansen Land and adjacent areas in 1985 has largely confirmed the provisional lithostratigraphy of the Paradisfjeld Group and Polkorridoren Group previously established; both are Lower Cambrian deep-water sequences. Some units of the Polkorridoren Group show marked thickness variations. Two major phases of Ellesmerian (Devonian-Carboniferous) deformation are recognised, whereas Eurekan (CretaceousTertiary) events are limited to relatively minor structures, and several phases of dyke intrusion.
