	Thorsmork ignimbrite	Plinian	-55349.5	2	GICC05	doi:10.1029/96gl03099	notes Also known as North Atlantic Ash Zone II (NAAZ II). Dated to c. 57.3 ± 1.7 ka BP in GISP2 ice core (Ram et al. 1996). Includes II-THOL-1, II-THOL-2, II-RHY-1 and II-TAB-1 geochemical populations. Believed to extend over 2.2 years of ice. Alternative age of 54.5 ± 2.0 ka BP in Sigurdsson, H., McIntosh, W.C., Dunbar, N., and Lacasse, S.N. (1998) Thorsmork Ignimbrite in Iceland: possible source of North Atlantic ash.
