The upper jurassic invertebrate faunas of cape leslie, Milne Land. I. Oxfordian and lower kimmeridgian / Верхнеюрские фауны беспозвоночных мыса Лесли, земля Милна. I. Оксфорд и нижний киммеридж

Recent expeditions to East Greenland, under the leadership of Dr. Lauge Koch, have succeeded in bringing back collections of the greatest importance from many localities and from many formations; but, at least in so far as the invertebrate remains are concerned, there are few to rival in interest and beauty of preservation the Upper Jurassic am ­monite faunas of Cape Leslie. The first of the assemblages now before me was collected by A. Rosenkrantz as member of the 1926— 27 expedition which had its headquarters in Scoresby Sound. A preliminary account of the Cape Leslie Formation and its fossils was published by Rosenkrantz in Lauge Koch’s ‘Geology of East Greenland’1), but, as in the case of V. Madsen’s fossils from the Ancella River in Jameson Land on the opposite side of the Sound, the identifications not only stressed the affinity with Russian (Volgian) faunas, but the determination of their age as "Portlandian” was rather indefinite. It was while Mr. Rosenkrantz was working out his fossils from Scoresby Sound in the British Museum (Natural History) in the summer of 1932 that he kindly handed over to me the ammonites and belemnites of the Cape Leslie Formation. <...>
