Acritarchs from the Kap Holbæk Formation, North Greenland

Abstract

In two recent general summaries of the geology of northern Greenland (Peel, 1986; Higgins et al., in press) brief reference was made to acritarchs from the Kap Holbæk Formation of eastern North Greenland indicative of a Proterozoic age. The age determination is of particular interest since the formation has been interpreted widely as of Cambrian age. This short note more fully documents the evidence for this revised age determination.
