Two drill cores spanning the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous succession in Wollaston Forland, North-East Greenland, offer an insight into mud accumulation in an evolving distal fault block. Previous studies have revealed the presence of long-lasting black mudstone accumulation extending through th...
