“Moist MORB” axial magmatism in the Oman ophiolite: The evidence against a mid-ocean ridge origin
CJ MacLeod, C Johan Lissenberg, LE Bibby - Geology, 2013 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The Oman ophiolite has an axial volcanic suite and associated sheeted dike complex similar
in composition to modern mid-oceanic ridge basalt (MORB). Its internal structure is regarded …

Arc-related harzburgite–dunite–chromitite complexes in the mantle section of the Sabzevar ophiolite, Iran: a model for formation of podiform chromitites
Podiform chromitites are common within the mantle section of the Late Cretaceous Sabzevar
