“…The sampling location of these rocks are provided in Figure 1. Five of the Icelandic samples were taken from a two kilometer long drill core recovered during the Iceland Research Drilling Project (IRDP) near Reyðarfjörður, eastern Iceland, during the summer of 1978 (Fridleifsson et al, 1982;Robinson et al, 1982a). The core cut through a succession of lava flows with their corresponding flow tops, breccias and massive layers (Mehegan et al, 1982;Robinson et al, 1982b).…”
