Figure 14. Comparison of mean grain size along the thickness axes of the SILK-LN and Hekla 1947 tephra
plotted against distance from source. Circles represent Hekla 1947 and triangles represent SILK-LN. The mean
grain size of the SILK-LN at 22 km and Hekla 1947 at 68 km is similar, both for the bulk samples and individual
units. – Meðalkornastærð gjósku eftir þykktarásum SILK-LN og Heklu-1947 gjóskulaganna eftir fjarlægð frá
upptökum. Meðalkornastærð SILK-LN í 22 km fjarlægð og Heklu-1947 í 68 km frá upptökum er svipuð, bæði í
heildarsýnum og stökum einingum.
