What now is Iceland never was part of the Laurasia continent. Rather, it is a volcanic formation that stems from volcanic activity on the border of the North-American and the Eurasian tectonic plates. The oldest rock formations on Iceland are only 16 million years old. In comparison, the break-up of Laurasia started 200 million years ago, dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago and Greenland separated from Europe 60 million years ago.
