Block diagram illustrating relationships between shelf, slope and trough sequences in the Lower Palaeozoic Franklinian Basin of North Greenland. The schematic fence diagram covers a region of c. 700 km east–west and c. 200 km north–south. Shelf stages ( S ) and trough stages ( T ) are divided into time intervals: 1: late Proterozoicn – Early Cambrian; 2: Early Cambrian; 3: Early Cambrian; 4: Late Early Cambrian – Middle Ordovician; 5: Middle Ordovician Early Silurian; 6: Early Silurian; and 7: later Silurian.

Units on the map: Portfjeld and Buen Formations (25) – stages 2–3 S; Brønlund Fjord, Tavsen Iskappe, Ryder Gletscher and Morris Bugt Groups and Petermann Halvø and Ymer Gletscher Formations (23) – stages 4–5 S; Washington Land Group exclusive above mentioned formations (21) – stages 6–7 S; Skagen, Paradisfjeld and Polkorridoren Groups (26) – stages 1, 2–3 T; Vølvedal and Amundsen Land Groups (24) – stages 4–5 T; Peary Land Group (22) – stages 6–7 T.
