Nagssugtoqidian mobile belt in East Greenland

The Nagssugtoqidian mobile belt in East Greenland outcrops from Gyldenlj21ves Fjord northwards to the Angmagssalik region (fig. 93) and possibly further north towards Kangerdlugssuaq (fig. 70). Compared to the Nagssugtoqidian mobile belt of the west coast little work has been done in this region. Wager (1934) gives a brief description of the gneiss complex from Angmagssalik to Kangerdlugssuaq where the Precambrian rocks are overlain by Tertiary basalts. Bridgwater & Gormsen (1968, 1969), Andrews et al. (1973) and Bridgwater et al. (1973b, c) give the main features of the rocks exposed between the southern border and Angmagssalik. A more detailed descript ion of the area surrounding Angmagssalik is given by Wright et al. (1973) (fig. 94).
