Examinations of a black chert from the late Precambrium (Eocambrium) of the southern part of Peary Land have revealed several types of microfossils, some of which show affinities to a flora of about the same age from Australia. During the summer of 1968 the Precambrian and Eocambrian sediments of Jørgen Brønlund Fjord area in southern Peary Land were studied by Jepsen (1969), who brought home the chert sample examined.
