Tephra-grain counting, morphology and geochemistry in the 150–1000 μm size fraction were used to identify 22 individual tephra horizons and one visible tephra layer (Saksunarvatn) from postglacial sediment of the north Iceland shelf. Core MD99-2269 (66°37.53‘N, 20°51.16‘W, water depth 365 m, length...
