Excerpt from On Jurassic and Cretaceous Fossils From North-East Greenland As already mentioned above, the Danmark Expedition found Jurassic deposits on Hochstetter's Foreland, deposits that had hitherto been erroneously referred to the Tertiary system. The principal col lections of mesozoic, marine fossils were made, however, on Store Koldewey Island; not only were fossiliferous Jurassic deposits of somewhat different age found there, but also at one point interesting Neocomian deposits with a fauna-which is very nearly related to that 011 the east side of Kuhn Island. Mesozoic fossils were also found further north, in the district round Danmarks Havn, but only in boulders. These boulders are referable partly to the youngest Jurassic, partly to the oldest Cretaceous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
