Abstract
Atlantic Facing Margins
East Greenland Continental Margin
Abstract
The continental margin of East Greenland consists of a prograded Tertiary sequence overlying Mesozoic and probable Paleozoic strata. On the basis of aeromagnetic data, coast-parallel Mesozoic grabens are believed to be present beneath the continental shelf east of Jameson Land.
In the Late Jurassic, rifting of a pre-existing shallow marine basin commenced. This basin occurs beneath the continental shelves of Norway and Greenland. Fluctuations of sea level, resulting in transgressions and regressions, persisted throughout the Mesozoic. An open seaway between the North Sea and the East Greenland Mesozoic basin apparently existed during Late Permian, Early Jurassic and Cenomanian times. Petroleum prospects appear favorable beneath the Greenland continental shelf.
