The principal aim of the authors was to document the stratigraphy and structure of Ordovician and Lower Silurian sediments in a c. 5000 km2 area in southern Kronprins Christian Land and westernmost Lambert Land, and estimate the palaeogeographical position of Greenland in relation to the areas surrounding the lapetus Ocean.
