During the summers of 1976 and 1977 a total of five wells were drilled offshore West Greenland (Henderson, 1978). GGU received samples of cuttings from all the wells while drilling was in progress and at a later date received the remnants of sidewall core material. Palynologieal preparations have been made from cuttings of all five wells at approximately 30 m intervals. Preparation of sidewall core samples is now in progress. To date the total number of preparations made of offshore material is of the order of 500, representing the last three years' investigations.
