As part of studies of the onshore hydrocarbon potential in East Greenland undertaken by the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU), a project was initiated with the purpose of describing the dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous succession in East Greenland (72°76°N) and correlating the exposed sections throughout the region (Nøhr-Hansen, 1993). Based on the rather sporadic occurrence of macrofossils the Lower Cretaceous sediments of East Greenland was previously dated as Aptian to Albian (Spath, 1946; Maync, 1949; Donovan, 1953, 1955, 1957). Maync (1949) reported the total exposed thickness of the ‘Aptian-Albian series’ to be more than 2000 m, whereas Surlyk (1990) noted that the Lower Cretaceous shale succession reached a cumulative thickness or 1000 m. Furthermore, Donovan (1972) reported that Hauterivian and Barremian sediments were unknown in East Greenland. Dinoflagellate cysts recorded from 40 sections throughout the region have now dated the Lower Cretaceous sequence as Barremian to Albian, and correlation of sections yields a cumulative thickness of approximately 1500m (Nøhr-Hansen, 1993).

A new genus Nodalula gen. nov. and species Nodalula dalinghensis gen. et sp. nov. is described on the basis of a nearly complete specimen from the Lower Cretaceous of North-east China. Its special pattern of wing venation differs from those of the known Mesozoic Cavilabiata genera and allows us to include it in the new family Nodalulaidae within the Neobrachystigmata.

Post-Caledonian sediments in North-East Greenland between 76° and 78° 30´N are, with the exception of an outlier near Kulhøj, restricted to Store Koldewey. The sediments on Store Koldewey, believed to span the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous (Callovian to Aptian), are dominated by fine-grained sand and silt. They contain a rich macrofauna which, together with material collected for microfloral investigations, will form the basis for a detailed stratigraphy and dating of the sequence.
