Thurber fyrir aldursgreiningarnar, ennfremur Sigurði Brandssyni bónda í Fögruhlíð og Guðmundi bróður lians fyrir aðstoð við mógröftinn í Fögruhlíð. Aldursgreining þessi er liður í rannsókn höfundar á Snæfellsjökli, sent styrkt var af Vísindasjóði. ABSTRACT: Peat samples were taken beneath the two rhyolitic teplira layers from Snæfells- jiikull, western Iceland, and datcd by Dr. D. L. Thurber of Lamont Geological Observatory, Palisades, N. Y., U. S. A. The results are listed in Table I. The dated tephra layers are not significant as marker horizons amongst the lava flows from Snæfellsjökull, since the lavas and the tephra layers overlap only slightly geographically. Fig. I shows the soil profiles on top of two lavas, Prestahraun and Neshraun, which apparently are the only ílows from Snæfells- jökull, areally coinciding with the tephra layers. According to the profiles Prestahraun lies between the ash beds, whereas Neshraun is older tlian both. H EIMILDA li 1T: Iiroecker, W. S., D. L. Thurber og A. Taddeucci 1967.
