Small outliers of sedimentary rocks overlying the Tertiary basalts of the northern Blosseville Kyst are preserved in down-faulted areas at Kap Dalton and Savoia Halvø (Kap Brewster) (Watt et al., this report). They are of particular interest in that their age establishes a younger limit for the period of effusive vulcanity on this sector of the East Greenland continental margin.
