Reconnaissance mapping and collecting was carried out in the Robeson Channel area of North Greenland during 1965-66 by P. R. Dawes and J. H. Allaart as part of Operation Grant Land. Within the fold belt in Nyeboe Land a major strike fault system separates a northern unit of limestones, slates and sandstones from a less-severely deformed calcareous greywacke and shale sequence of probable Silurian age.
