Podiform chromitites in the mantle sections of ophiolites belong to either high-Cr
(metallurgical) or high-Al (refractory) varieties. Their highly variable compositions are …

The sediment archive, of material eroded from an active tectonic region and stored in
adjacent basins, can provide a valuable record of hinterland tectonism especially when …

Compositional fields for spinels from a wide variety of mafic–ultramafic igneous rock types
and tectonic environments have been determined from a global database of over 26 000 …

Abstract The **ng'an‐Inner Mongolia accretionary belt in the southeastern segment of the
Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) was produced by the long‐lived subduction and …

Subduction zone magmas are more oxidised on eruption than those at mid-ocean ridges.
This is attributed either to oxidising components, derived from subducted lithosphere (slab) …

Chromitites from a single section through the mantle in the Oman ophiolite are of two
different types. Low-cr# chromitites, of MORB affinity are found in the upper part of the …

Magnetotelluric (MT) data can image the electrical resistivity of the entire lithospheric column
and are therefore one of the most important data sources for understanding the structure …

Abstract The Thetford Mines Ophiolite is interpreted as a fragment of a fore-arc oceanic
lithosphere. This complete ophiolitic sequence consists of a thick mantle sequence, a …

We document the stratigraphy and provenance of the lower Tertiary terrigenous sections in
the Zhepure Shan region of the Tethyan Himalaya, southern Tibet, using petrographic and …

Ophiolites, which represent segments of oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the continental
crust, provide an important window into processes such as continental rifting, mantle …
