Abstract

The article describes the Palaeogene deposits on several localities on Wollaston Forland, Sabine Ø and Hold with Hope in North-East Greenland in 2010. It believes that the Palaeogene sediments in the areas comprise Paleocene and earliest Eocene strata with hiatus that could span the major part of the Selandian and Thanetian. It also notes that the age of the underlying Cretaceous deposits east of the fault in Haredal is Early-Middle Campanian.
