352 WHITE AND SCHUCHERT—CRETACEOUS SERIES OF GREENLAND. 
the main sandstone the dip is from 25° to 30°, while at the western end 
of the section the apparent inclination is about 10° to 15°. In the ravine 
at this point there is also shown a nearly equally strong seaward dip. 
The intrusive basalts in this region are believed to be of Tertiary age. 
The important facts involved in this section are (1) the presence of a 
fault, and (2) the discovery of three floras, one east and two west of the 
fault. 
In the nearly horizontal beds east of the fault (“A” of profile sketch) a 
flora clearly of Kome age, with an abundance of Pinus crameri Heer, is 
found. It includes the following species: 
Adiantum formosum Hr.? Ks. Sequoia reichenbachti Gein. Kkps. 
Asplenium boyeanum Hr. Ks. S. schnittiana Hr. Kops. 
Gleichenia zippei (Corda) Hr. Kkps. Pinus crameri Hr. Kkps. 
Czekanowskia dichotoma Hr.? Kks. P. peterseni Hr. Kkps. 
The stratigraphic sequence along the shore to the westward of the 
fault is as follows:
