Late Jurassic (Late Oxfordian–Early Volgian) sediments exposed across a wide area of East Greenland are dominated by organic-rich mudstones and sandy mudstones and reach a maximum thickness of 500 m. The facies are characterized by parallel-laminated, generally unbioturbated mudstones, in some cases...
