Scientific paper

The Skinner Cove volcanic rocks, the lowermost of a sequence of thrust slices associated with the Bay of Islands ophiolites of western Newfoundland, make up a continuous alkaline differentiation sequence from pillowed ankaramites to trachytes. They are interpreted as having formed off the axis of the mid-ocean ridge on which the main ophiolitic rocks were formed, in a manner comparable to the Upper Pillow lavas of the Troodos Massif, Cyprus, and the alkaline rocks dredged near the flanks of modern mid-ocean ridges.
