Geochemistry of tertiary tholeiites and picrites from Qeqertarssuaq (Disko Island) and Nuussuaq, West Greenland with implications for the mineral potential of comagmatic intrusions
Tertiary continental flood basalts on Qeqertarssuaq and Nuussuaq in West Greenland contain similar to 3 km of picrites and variably contaminated tholeiites. The picrites are in the Naujanguit member of the Vaigat Formation and they have 7-29 wt% MgO, La/Sm = 0.9-2.1, and Nd-143/Nd-144 = 0.51263-0.51...
