Description
Summary:A recent find of Actinocamax cf. manitobensis from the Kangerdlugssuaq area in southern East Greenland is described, and the belemnites from the same area described earlier are discussed and revised. The belemnites from East Greenland are closely comparable to the belemnites from West Greenland and North America. They are most likely from the Middle Turonian, but the maximum stratigraphic range may be from uppermost Lower-Upper Turonian. Biostratigraphic age determinations of the lithostrati-graphic units proposed earlier for the area are slightly revised.
