The Zig-Zag Dal Basalt Formation is a new formation named after a valley in the central part of Mylius-Erichsen Land (fig. 11). The occurrence of volcanic rocks in this region was first reported by the Greenarctic Consortium in 1969 (personal communication to GGU), and the first description of the basaltic sequence was published by Jepsen & Kalsbeek (1979).
