Stacked seismic sections produced from wide-angle ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) show clear, strong P-wave reflections interpreted as igneous intrusions arriving from lower crustal and upper mantle depths on the Faroes margin. The lower-crustal reflectors are also seen on a coincident long- offset...
