• Ordovician exposures occur in an N–S trending outcrop area along the fjord region in North–East Greenland (Figure 1). The outcrop area is composed of Neoproterozoic – Ordovician sediments. The Ordovician strata consist of nearly 3000 m of carbonates, which are prominently exposed on Ella Ø, in Albert Heim Bjerge and on C.H. Nunatak (Figure 1). The Ordovician succession is overlain unconformably by Devonian fluviatile and lacustrine clastic sediments.
