Summary: | Coccoliths found in a conglomeratic layer within a volcanic subaqua-tic pillow breccia and in a tuff layer just below the main volcanic sequence on Nûgssuaq, West Greenland, make it possible to corre-late the two coccolith assemblages and to compare these with a coccolith assemblage previously known from the Nûgssuaq penin-sula. On the basis of the coccoliths alone the onset of the Tertiary vol-canism in the Nûgssuaq area must be revised to be not older than |
