N2 - A new Palaeogene nannofossil study has been made of the Kangâmiut-1 and Nukik-2 wells, offshore West Greenland. The stratigraphy presented herein has been correlated with previously established nannofossil zonation schemes and where possible used to indicate palaeoenvironmental changes during the Early and Middle Eocene. The stratigraphy and dating is based upon stratigraphically important species and palaeoenvironmental signals are based upon species influxes. A total of 69 samples (26 side wall cores and 43 ditch cuttings samples) were examined and where possible, were compared with findings from DSDP and ODP sites in the Labrador Sea.
