A minor shaly sequence in the middle of the Hartz Fjeld Formation, Milne Land, central East Greenland is dated as Hauterivian on the basis its dinoflagellate cyst content. The assemblage is compared with the dinotlagellate stratigraphy of the Spee ton Clay, England and the North Sea basin. This is the first report of Hauterivian sediments from East Greenland.
