Thirty-two radiocarbon age determinations of bivalve shelIs (30), gyttja (1) and peat (1) are summarised below. All but two of the samples were collected during the GGU geological expedition to the Peary Land region. Two samples comprise contemporary shelIs from north and north-east Greenland, and were collected earlier. The samples have been dated at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Denmark and the National Museum, Copenhagen (samples marked K, by courtesy of the Geological Survey of Denmark), the C-14 Laboratory at the Department of Quatemary Geology, University of Lund, Sweden (samples marked Lu, by courtesy of the laboratory and the Department of Quatemary Geology, University of Lund), and the Harwell Carbon 14/Tritium Laboratory, AERE, England (samples marked HAR).

Sixty-six radiocarbon age determinations of shell samples (63) and gyttja (3) from North-West, West, North-East and East Greenland are summarised below. All the material was collected during GGU field work except shells Lu-930 from Store Koldewey, North-East Greenland which came from the Danmark Expedition of 1906-1908. Collections of Quaternary material from this expedition have been recently kindly donated to GGU by the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen. The samples have been dated at Isotopes Inc., Westwood, New Jersey, U.S.A. by J. Buckley (marked I), at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Denmark and the National Museum, Copenhagen by H. Tauber (marked K), at the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory, Department of Quaternary Geology, University of Lund, Sweden (marked Lu) and at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the University of Helsinki, Finland by H. Jungner (marked Hel). The Finnish and Swedish data have been published earlier by Donner & Jungner (1975) and Håkansson (1975) respectively. The samples are Iocated by coordinates taken from the Danish Geodetic Institute 1:250 000 map series.

Twenty-one radiocarbon age determinations of shell samples (10), bone (2) and gyttja (9) are assembled into this account. The majority of the material dated was collected in connection with GGU field work but the two bone samples originate from field work by the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen. All the samples have been dated by H. Tauber at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory, National Museum, Copenhagen. Previous catalogues of ca dates from Greenland have been published in GGU Reports 45, 1972 and 55, 1973.

General Overview ◽  
North Greenland

The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) initiated in 1964 a 1:500000 mapping programme to produce a general overview of the onshore geology of all the ice-free areas of Greenland. So far 10 of a total of 14 planned map sheets have been published, and one additional sheet for which field work has been completed is under compilation. Most of Greenland is therefore now covered by map sheets of this series and only three areas remain to be covered: in North-West Greenland (sheet 6), in eastern North Greenland (sheet 9) and in East Greenland (sheet 11). Eastern North Greenland (map sheet no. 9; Fig. 1) is the target of the present project, with planned field work from 1993–1995. The first season (1993) was used for logistical preparation and geological reconnaissance in advance of the more intensive field work in the two following seasons (1994–95).

The second year of the three-year programme of geological investigations in eastern North Greenland has been successfully completed by the Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse (GGU) [Geological Survey of Greenland], in close cooperation, for logistic purposes, with the Geodætiske Institute (GI) [Danish Geodetic Institute] and the Royal Danish Air Force. This programme is the culmination of many years’ planning and the results from it are to be used in the compilation of sheet 8 of the 1:500 000 Greenland geological and Quaternary map series (Watt, 1976), in addition to more detailed maps of specific areas at 1: 100 000.

In 1991 a three year research project was initiated by the Geological Institute, University of Copenhagen with financial support from the Ministry of Energy, the Danish Natural Science Research Council and the Carlsberg Foundation. The 'Wandel Sea Basin: basin analysis' project was carried out in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Greenland and included field work in North Greenland; in eastern Peary Land in 1991 and Amdrup Land in 1993 (Fig. 1; Hakansson et al., 1994). The project is a continuation of earlier investigations in the Wandel Sea Basin carried out during geological mapping of North Greenland by the Geological Survey of Greenland in 1978–1980 and during later expeditions to the area (e.g. Hakansson, 1979; Hakansson et al., 1981, 1989, 1991, 1994). Hydrocarbon related studies of the Wandel Sea Basin were continued during the 1994 field season (Stemmerik et al., this report).

The first record of Middle Cambrian faunas of 'Atlantic' affinity from the Franklinian basin sequence of North Greenland was made by Poulsen (1969) who noted that previously described Greenland faunas were of 'Pacific' type. Field work by the Geological Survey of Greenland during the last decade has established that 'Atlantic' faunas are widespread in more outer shelfsequences along the northern coast of North Greenland while the 'Pacific' faunas occur within inner shelfsequences more to the south, near the margin of the Inland Ice. North Greenland preserves both faunas in dose geographical juxtaposition in only slightly tectonised geological settings. Thus, alatest Middle Cambrian trilobite fauna described by Robison (in press) from the Holm Dal Formation in an area some 40 km south of the presently discussed locality (and more inner shelf) includes a mixture of polymeroids characteristic of the Cedaria Zone of North America and agnostoids characteristic of the Lejopyge laevigata Zone of the Swedish standard zonation.

The publication of the 1:500 000 Skjoldungen map sheet (Escher, 1990; Fig. 1) marks the completion of the Geological Survey of Greenland's (GGU's) reconnaissance mapping activities in South-East Greenland. A descriptive text to the map is under preparation. All of South-East Greenland between Kap Farvel (59° 00´N) and Mesters Vig (72° 00´N) is now covered by sheets of the 1:500 000 geological map series of Greenland. Five sheets in the series (nos 5,6,9, 10 and 11) remain to be published (Fig. 1); the Thule map sheet (sheet 5) will be printed in the course of 1991, and sheet 10 is under compilation. The presentation of the Skjoldungen map is somewhat different from that of the other 1:500 000 maps inthe series. In addition to traditional lithological information, an effort has been made to show the tectonic/metamorphic development of the region during the Archaean and Proterozoic.

Thirteen radiocarbon age determinations of shell samples (12) and wood (1) are assembled in tbis account. The material dated was collected in connection with GGU field work. The samples have been dated at Isotopes Inc., Westwood, New Jersey, U.S.A. Determination of the wood sample was kindly made by Jette Dahl Møller, Institute of Plant Anatomy and Cytology, University of Copenhagen. Dating has also been carried out on a number of shelIs, dredged alive prior to 1950, in order to control the apparent age in shell dating determinations (Tauber & Funder, tbis report).
