  • Pumice in the North Atlantic
    Ocean-transported pumice in the North Atlantic Anthony Newton PhD University of Edinburgh 1999 Declaration I, Anthony Newton hereby declare that the work contained herein is my own and has not previously been presented for examination. Any contributions by others is acknowledged in the text. September 1999 ii For Keith Newton 1930-1984 iii “Some days we would pass through pumice lying in ridges, each piece uniformly the size and appearance of a bath sponge, then again we should pass through perfect fields of small yellow pumice spread evenly over the surface just for all the world like a green field of grass covered all over with buttercups, and the undulation of the swell of the trade wind produced an indescribably pretty appearance.” (Reeves, 1884). iv Abstract The overall aims of this study are to identify the sources of the widespread Holocene pumice deposits found along the coasts of the North Atlantic region and establish the ages of the source eruptions. In order to tackle this, it is necessary to determine whether it is possible to “fingerprint” the pumice of individual eruptions and link ocean-transported material with the established tephrochronological framework based on the stratigraphy of airfall deposits. Over 1500 electron probe microanalyses and over 200 Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry analyses have been undertaken on pumice and tephra samples. These are the first high quality grain specific analyses carried out on ocean-transported pumice in the North Atlantic. Current knowledge of the extent of pumice distribution in the North Atlantic region is assessed for both shoreline (natural) and archaeological contexts.
