Abstract
The fully cored Upper Jurassic succession in the Blokelv-1 borehole in the Jameson Land Basin, East Greenland, is intersected by igneous intrusions at four levels; the intrusions comprise a c. 15 cm thick dyke and three sills with thicknesses of 0.7, 1.2 and 1.9 m. The sills consist of fine-grained, sparsely plagioclase-olivine-phyric basalt with chilled contacts to the sediments. Analyses of two sills gave very similar results. The sills are tholeiitic basalts with compositions similar to the main group of dykes and sills in the Jameson Land Basin, and the Blokelv-1 sills are thus considered to belong to this group which has been dated at c. 53 Ma. The intrusions form part of a 55–51 Ma suite of tholeiitic basalt intrusions that was emplaced over an area extending for over 500 km north-to-south within the sedimentary basins of East and North-East Greenland.
期刊介绍:
GEUS Bulletin publishes geoscience research papers, monographs and map descriptions with a focus on Denmark, Greenland and the wider North Atlantic and Arctic region. We welcome submissions that fit this remit. Specifically, we publish:
1.Short articles intended as rapid communications that are of immediate interest to the international geoscience community (these include new research, datasets, methods or reviews)
2.Regular-length articles that document new research or a review of a topic of interest
3.Monographs (single volume works, by arrangement with the editorial office)
4.Maps and descriptive texts (produced by GEUS for Greenland and Denmark, by arrangement with the editorial office)
GEUS Bulletin serves a broad geoscientific readership from research, industry, government agencies, NGOs and special interest groups.
