Abstract
Mesozoic sedimentation in northern East Greenland was initiated in the Middle Jurassic with transgression of the peneplaned Caledonian basement. Approximately 1 km of inshore and shelf sediments were deposited in progressively deeper water in Middle and Late Jurassic times. The sedimentary sequence is interpreted as resulting from the interplay of fault-controlled subsidence, borderland uplift, and major eustatic sea-level changes. Facies analysis shows that sedimentation in the rift-type basin was influenced by fluvial, tidal, wave, and storm-related processes.
