During Leg 163, in the Southeast Greenland margin, drilling penetrated a thick succession of volcanic rocks that erupted during breakup of the North Atlantic in the early Tertiary. Samples recovered during Leg 163 supplement the samples recovered during Leg 152 from the transect across the volcanic margin at 63°N. During Leg 163, drilling at Site 989 was intended to recover the oldest part of the continental prebreakup series, and drilling at Site 990 was intended to penetrate the transition zone from synbreakup, compositionally variable volcanic products, to postbreakup volcanics with a limited compositional range and a depleted chemical character similar to mid-ocean-ridge basalts (oceanic character). All the lava flows recovered from Sites 989 and 990, however, have an oceanic chemical character with low contents of incompatible elements and high contents of Sc. A dikelet from Site 990 and a previously drilled dike from Site 917 are likewise oceanic. We consider that the two drilled lava flows from Site ... : Supplement to: Larsen, Lotte M; Fitton, J Godfrey; Saunders, Andrew D (1999): Composition of volcanic rocks from the Southeast Greenland margin, Leg 163: major and trace element geochemistry.
