Leó Kristjánsson and Ágúst Guðmundsson þar af eru 9 þær neðstu einkum úr blágrýtishraunlög- um og alls 1,6 km að þykkt. Ellefu syrpum er lýst stuttlega, auk ummyndunar og höggunar á svæðinu. Þykktir setlaga milli hraunlaganna eru meiri en í eldri stafla Austfjarða og fara vaxandi upp eftir, og þau end- urspegla kólnun loftslags. Sagt er frá segulstefnumæl- ingum í rannsóknastofu á kjörnum úr 76 hraunlögum í sniðum í Suðurdal sem lýst er ítarlega í myndum 4 og 5; að auki var segulstefna í um 60 hraunum í þeim sniðum mæld úti í mörkinni. Segulstefnurnar, ásamt sambærilegum mælingum úr sniðum vestan megin í Norðurdal sem birtust 1976–1977, hjálpa til við að rekja hraunlagasyrpurnarmilli dalanna. Átta umsnún- ingar jarðsegulsviðsins finnast í Suðurdal í jarðlögum milli 7 og 4 millj. ára aldurs, færri en búast mætti við. Hæg upphleðsla og ónóg nákvæmni tiltækra ald- ursmælinga veldur því að mynstur segulstefnanna í hraunastaflanum verður ekki tengt af neinu öryggi við svokallað tímatal umsnúninga jarðsegulsviðsins.
