This framework is based on about 150 dinoflagellate cyst taxa and 30 acritarch, algal, fungal and plant microfossil (mostly miospore) taxa. In the systematics we include three new genera of dinocysts (<em>Scalenodinium, Simplicidinium and Taurodinium</em>), 16 new species of dinocysts (<em>Chiropteridium gilbertii, Chytroeisphaeridia hadra, Cleistosphaeridium elegantulum, Cleistosphaeridium palmatum, Dapsilidinium pseudoinsertum, Deflandrea borealis, Evittosphaerula? foraminosa, Ginginodinium? flexidentatum, Hystrichosphaeridium quadratum, Hystrichostrogylon digitus, Impletosphaeridium apodastum, Scalenodinium scalenum, Surculosphaeridium convocatum, Talladinium pellis, Taurodinium granulatum and Trithyrodinium? conservatum</em>), four emendations of dinocyst genera (<em>Alterbidinium, Chatangiella, Chiropteridium and Surculosphaeridium</em>), six new combinations for dinocyst species (<em>Alterbidinium biaperturum, Deflandrea majae, Kleithriasphaeridium mantellii, Simplicidinium insolitum, Spongodinium grossum, Spongodinium obscurum</em>), one new acritarch species (<em>Fromea quadrangularis</em>), one new miospore species (<em>Baculatisporites crenulatus</em>) and one new combination for miospores (<em>Tiliaepollenites crassipites</em>). Most of the taxa included provide age information, almost exclusively last occurrences (range ‘tops’), but some are useful mainly for environmental interpretations. Collectively, they provide a powerful tool for helping to establish the geological history of the Labrador–Baffin Seaway.</p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, journal={GEUS Bulletin}, author={Fensome, Robert A. and Nøhr-Hansen, Henrik and Williams, Graham L.}, year={2016}, month={Dec.}, pages={1–143} }
