Description
Summary:Upper Carboniferous (Moscovian) shelf carbonates and siliciclastics of the Kap Jungersen and Foldedal Formations at Depotfjeld, southern Holm Land. The yellowish cliff-forming beds are composed of shelf limestones with abundant calcareous algae (see Mamet & Stemmerik p. 79). The reddish weathering recessive units consist of fine-grained sandstone and siltstone. The thick red unit forming the top of the main ridge is a coarse-grained conglomerate at the base of the Foldedal Formation. The cliff reaches approximately 450 m above sea level.
