Nøkur orð um gjáir í Føroyum — uppruna teirra og aldur: Notes on Origin and Age of Goes

Abstract

Various types of Faroese goes are briefly mentioned and previous papers on the origin and age of goes are referred to. Field observations on origin and age of master joints and dikes are treated (Fig. 5 S. 6) and it is concluded that: (1) Some goes originate from erosion of dikes, (2) others from erosion of master joints, (3) the origin of the latter system dates from a later period, the master joints being younger than the dikes.
