During the 1988 field season new observations were made on the sediments of the Upper Cretaceous Atane Formation in southern Nûgssuaq. These observations indicate that the degree of bioturbation may be taken as an indicator of the degree of marine influence within the interdistributary delta plain environments. The field work was carried out during six days in July 1988 as part of a sedimentological research project supported by GGU and the Danish Natural Science Research Council.
