N2 - The degree of oxidation and hydration, and the variation of Fe, Mg, Li, Na, K, Rb, F, Cl and I are reported for hydrothermally altered basaltic lavas and dikes intersected in the Iceland Research Drilling Project (IRDP) borehole sequence from E Iceland. The concentrations of water-soluble Na, Cl, and I have also been determined and represent approx 1%, 40%, and 53%, respectively, of the total content of each element. Hydration and oxidation in both lavas and dikes generally increase downward in the total lava pile to maxima toward the base of the drilled section. Three lava groups and two dike groups are recognized at different depths on the basis of the relative distribution of Zr and Y. -from Authors
