Abstract
Geological reconnalssance undertaken in recent years by Dawes (1971; 1975), and Peel & Christie (1975) in preparation for a major mapping project in North Greenland continued in 1975 with a six week season in south-westem Washington Land (fig. 5). The aim was to estabIish a reference profile through the lowermost Palaeozoic sequence between Cass Fjord and Humboldt Gletscher, and to obtain a preliminary idea of the possibilities for geological mapping of the platform terrain.
Highlights
Christie (1975) in preparation for a major mapping project in North Greenland continued in 1975 with a six week season in south-westem Washington Land
The Lower Palaeozoic stratigraphy of southem Washington Land has previously been studied by Koch (1929) and Troelsen (1950) who reported a sequence of dolomites and limestones ofEocambrian to Silurian age
The Cass Fjord Formation is revised to include some of those strata and three new formations are established informally
Summary
The maximum observed displacement 'along one of these is c. 150 m
