S U M M A R Y:The results of a comprehensive K-At investigation of 130 petrographically selected rock and mineral specimens from the E Greenland Tertiary Igneous Province are reported. The new age data refine the chronology of this region. They suggest the following conclusions: (1) the lavas were extruded between 54 and 57 Ma; (2) the pre-flexure dyke swarm was intruded between 51 and 53 Ma; (3) the postflexure dyke swarm was intruded between 49 and 51 Ma; and (4) plutonic activity occurred at 50 Ma (Kangerdlugssuaq, Kraemers O, Lilloise, etc.), 42~45 Ma (Borgtinderne, Kap Deichman, etc.), 36 Ma (Kialineq), 38 and 28 Ma (Kong Oscars Fjord, Myggbukta).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
