Mantle peridotites of ophiolites have traditionally been interpreted as fragments of residual
oceanic lithospheric mantle depleted by partial melting. However, recent petrological …

The Tauride ophiolites lie on the northern and southern flanks of an EW-trending Tauride
carbonate platform. They mainly consist of three tectonic units namely in ascending order …

We present new, whole-rock major and trace element chemistry, including rare earth
elements (REE), platinum-group elements (PGE), and Re–Os isotope data from the upper …

The emission of abiotic methane (CH4) into the atmosphere from low temperature
serpentinization in ophiolitic rocks is documented to date only in four countries, the …

The Zhongba ophiolite is located in the western part of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone
(YZSZ) separating Eurasia to the north from the Indian plate to the south. This ophiolite …

Abstract In Central and Western Anatolia two continent‐derived massifs simultaneously
underthrusted an oceanic lithosphere in the Cretaceous and ended up with very contrasting …

Podiform chromitites are common within the mantle section of the Late Cretaceous Sabzevar
ophiolite in NE Iran. We studied chromitite pods and related ultramafic rocks from three …

Abstract The Massif du Sud ophiolite, New Caledonia, SW Pacific, is one of the largest
exposed ultramafic bodies on Earth. The ophiolite consists of a mantle section of ultra …

Abstract Neoproterozoic Abu Ghalaga ilmenite-bearing mafic rocks were subjected to
geological, petrographical and geochemical studies integrated with mineral chemistry of …

We examined peridotite massifs in the eastern part of the Mirdita ophiolite (EMO), Albania,
where arc-related magmas are abundant in the upper volcanic sequences. Structurally …
