| Abstract: | Drilling along a 63°N transect off SE Greenland during OceanDrilling Program (ODP) Legs 152 and 163 recovered a successionof volcanic rocks representing all stages in the break-up ofthe volcanic rifted margin. The rocks range from pre-break-upcontinental tholeiitic flood basalt, through syn-break-up picrite,to truly oceanic basalt forming the main part of the seaward-dippingreflector sequence (SDRS). All the lava flows recovered fromthe transect were erupted in a subaerial environment. 40Ar39Ardating shows that the earliest magmas were erupted at |
