Emplacement of the Slaufrudalur Pluton, southeast Iceland, deduced from field observations and its three-dimensional shape

The margin of the excellently exposed, granitic Slaufrudalur Pluton was mapped with high resolution GPS. Based on the GPS data, we reconstructed its three-dimensional shape, which resembles an elongated rhomboid with subvertical walls and a flat roof at map-scale. At outcrop-scale, the roof contact...
