Abstract
AbstractIgneous and metamorphic cobbles in sub-ice material recovered from a drill core which penetrated the ice sheet at Camp Century, Greenland, provide a rare look at the geology beneath the ice in the interior of Greenland. The sub-ice material can be correlated, based on petrography, with rocks of the Rinkian mobile belt of the west coast of Greenland; however, preliminary strontium isotopic data suggest such correlation should be made with caution. Chemical analyses and rare-earth element data are given to provide the basis for more rigorous correlations as more data become available on the Rinkian rocks.
