Abstract

The Paleocene volcanic succession on Disko and Nuussuaq in West Greenland consists of up to 2 km of of mainly picrites with on average 15.7 wt% MgO (the Vaigat Formation, VF) overlain by up to 2 km of tholeiitic flood basalts with on average 6.5 wt% MgO (the Maligât Formation, MF) (MgO in uncontaminated rocks).
