    Abstract

    Moscovian bryozoan-dominated build-ups in northern Amdrup Land are up to 40 m thick and several hundred metres wide. The build-up core consists of algal boundstone and bryozoan and crinoid cementstones. Flank and inter-build-up strata are dominantly skeletal wackestones. The diagenetic modifications include pervasive marine cementation and early, surface-related dolomitization. The reservoir quality is generally regarded as poor.
