Abstract

Dating of new fusulinid samples from the Mallemuk Mountain Group has improved constraints on age control of the regional lithostratigraphic units. Sediments of Late Carboniferous age are reported for the first time in Kronprins Christian Land where also the first recorded Sakmarian fusulinids have been found. The base of the Kim Fjelde Formation in Amdrup Land has been dated as Moscovian; this is slightly older than previous age assignments.
