The Middle Jurassic – lowermost Cretaceous succession of Jameson Land, East Greenland records a marine, overall regressive–transgressive–regressive cycle with regressive maxima in the Late Bajocian and Late Volgian separated by a transgressive maximum in the Kimmeridgian. Smaller-scale regressive interludes took place in the Late Callovian and Mid Oxfordian. A shelf-slope-basin physiography started to develop in the Late Callovian due to increasing rifting and a relief of several hundred metres was attained during maximum end-Jurassic regression and deposition of the Volgian Raukelv Formation. The formation consists of a forestepping stack of laterally extensive shelf-edge wedges, each several tens of metres thick, composed of coarse-grained sandstone, showing highangle clinoform bedding and containing marine body and trace fossils. These clinoform beds are superimposed on the large-scale clinoforms of the shelf–slope–basin. The wedges onlap older shelf deposits in a landward direction and are overlain by thin transgressive sandstones or mudstones, or directly by the next coarse-grained wedge. The top wedge, comprising the Rauk Plateau Member, is of Late Volgian (i.e. earliest Cretaceous) age and is characterized by steep clinoforms truncated by internal erosional downlap surfaces. The clinoforms are simple avalanche beds, a few tens of centimetres thick, or they may be several metres thick and contain large-scale cross-bedded intrasets of probable tidal origin. The erosional events were associated with downshift of the succeeding clinoforms, recording minor sea-level fall and forced regression. The top surface of the Rauk Plateau wedge is incised by a system of minor channels leading to a large canyon-like valley. The wedge was deposited by transition-slope progradation below wave base during a period of sea-level stillstand punctuated by minor, stepwise falls. It provides an excellently exposed example of a laterally derived, coarse-grained shelf-margin wedge, showing high-angle clinoform bedding and representing an ancient counterpart to Holocene and Late Pleistocene prograding infralittoral wedges seen on seismic profiles across Mediterranean shelf edges.
