Abstract
The Wicklow greenstones occur in sheets and dykes intrusive in the Lower Silurian slates (the equivalent of the Bala beds of Wales) that lie to the east of the main chain of the Leinster granite. Like the Welsh greenstones, they are associated with acid lavas (felsites and keratophyres) and felspathie tuffs, although of slightly later origin than these.Keywords
