Discussion of North Atlantic Igneous Province: A review of models for its formation by
Any effort to summarize the available data from the North Atlantic Igneous Province is welcome, and we should thank Meyer et al. (this volume) for their valuable contribution. However, I would like to make the following comments, the first on a minor aspect and the second concerning a much more gene...

As such, it essentially forms an upper crustal structure typical of volcanic passive margins worldwide. The recent confirmation of an SDR located on the conjugate margin offshore from Baffin Island fully supports the view that the S-Baffin Bay margins are of volcanic type (Skaarup et al., 2006).
