The Peary Land Group is a geologic group in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period. [1]
The following formations [2] are included in the Peary Land Group:
Pygope is an extinct genus of brachiopods belonging to the family Pygopidae. These brachiopods lived in open sea from the Jurassic Period, Kimmeridgian age up to Cretaceous Period, Barremian age. Some of the species are characterised by a smaller or larger perforation through the entire shell in older specimens, while others just have a depression somewhere on the midline. Younger specimens of the perforated species develop a heart-shape and subsequently both extensions merge, thus encircling a central passage which is in fact entirely outside the shell.
The Wyckoff Bjerg Formation is a geologic formation in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period.
The Palnatokes Bjerg Formation is a geologic formation in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Celsius Bjerg Formation is a geologic formation in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
The Obrutschew Bjerg Formation is a geologic formation in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
The Cape Schuchert Formation is a geologic formation part of the Peary Land Group in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Chester Bjerg Formation is a geologic formation part of the Peary Land Group in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Pentamerus Bjerge Formation is a geologic formation part of the Peary Land Group in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
Kayser Mountain is a mountain in Hall Land, NW Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. This peak was named after German geologist and paleontologist Emanuel Kayser.
The Haug Range is a mountain range in far northwestern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of Avannaata municipality. The range is located in Hall Land, one of the coldest places in Greenland.
The Hauge Bjerge Formation is a formation of the Peary Land Group in Greenland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Pentamerus Range is a mountain range in far northwestern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of Avannaata municipality. The area of the range is uninhabited.
Mount Wistar is a mountain in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
The Roosevelt Range or Roosevelt Mountains is a mountain range in Northern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. Its highest peak is the highest point in Peary Land.
The H. H. Benedict Range or H. H. Benedict Mountains is a mountain range in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
The Daly Range or Daly Mountains is a mountain range in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
Mount Clarence Wyckoff is a mountain in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. Administratively the mountain belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park.
