Late Proterozoic(?) to Silurian clastic and carbonate sequences overlying crystalline basement in southern Wulff Land are described. Strata older than early Middle Ordovician compare best with the sequence to the east, in Peary Land, while late Middle Ordovician to Upper Silurian sediments show greater similarity to outcrops in western North Greenland.
