Paleomagnetic directions in the Tjörnes beds, Northern Iceland ÁGRIP Segulstefnumælingar á setsýnum frá Tjörnesi Safnað var sýnum á 30 stöðum í efri hluta setlaga þeirra sem liggja undir Breiðuvíkurlögunum á Tjör- nesi. Segulstefnur voru mældar í þeim og að auki í sýnum úr einu hraunlagi. Segulmögnunin reyn- dist vera mun daufari en í Breiðuvíkursyrpunni og setlögum úr borkjarna í Flatey, og stefna hennar óstöðugri. Þessi munur gæti tengst því að Tjörnes- lagasýnin eru yfirleitt sandsteinn, mun grófari í kor- nastærð en hin. Á 10 stöðum fengust sæmilega örug- gar segulstefnur (95% óvissumörk undir 20◦). Jafn- margar af þeim voru “réttar” og “öfugar”, og þær samsvara allar segulskautum á um eða yfir 60◦ breidd. Virðist líklegt að niðurstöðurnar endurspegli fáeina umsnúninga jarðsegulsviðsins meðan eða fljótlega eftir að lögin voru að myndast. Segulstefnum í sniði niður við sjó (HM) og öðru inni í landi (SA) sem talin eru ná yfir sömu eða jafngamlar setlagasyrpur, ber ekki vel saman. Mun ítarlegri rannsókna er þörf áður en segulstefnumælingar gætu t.d. nýst við tengingar milli sniða eða borhola í þessum setlögum. REFERENCES Bárðarson, G.G. 1925.
