Abstract
Carbonate mounds are important features in the Silurian of North Greenland. They occur in an approximately west-east trending belt from Washington Land in the west to the Victoria Fjord area in the east- a distance ofsome 300 km (Dawes, 1971, 1976). Mounds in Peary Land, 250 km to the east of the Victoria Fjord area, are much less common than in western North Greenland. They are, as yet, not known in extreme eastern Peary Land or in Kronprins Christian Land (Christie & Peel, 1977).
