IODP Expedition 352 drilled four sites in the Bonin outer forearc, providing a detailed record
of lava eruption and dike emplacement during a short-lived (< 2 Ma) seafloor spreading …

Tethyan ophiolites show an apparent poorly organized association of ultramafic and mafic
rocks. By contrast to the complete mantle-crustal sections of Semail-type ophiolite sheets …

Mantle melts provide a window on processes related to global plate tectonics. The
composition of chromian spinel (Cr-spinel) from mafic-ultramafic rocks has been widely used …

This study presents the structural and petrological characteristics of mantle peridotites in
relation to the rock-hydrous melt reaction found in the Hayachine ultramafic complex, NE …

This paper explores the evolutional process of back-arc basin (BAB) magma system at final
spreading stage of extinct BAB, Shikoku Basin (Philippine Sea) and assesses its tectonic …

Abstract The Godzilla Megamullion is a giant oceanic core complex located in an extinct
slow-spreading segment of the Parece Vela Basin (Philippine Sea). It exposes lower crust …

Ophiolitic peridotites represent variously depleted residues of the primitive mantle after
multiple episodes of partial melting, melt extraction, and melt-rock interactions. They display …

It is becoming increasingly clear that detachment faulting plays a key role in oceanic
spreading and fluid circulation in both slow and ultraslow spreading environments …

The northern subbelt in the western segment of the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone, Tibet,
China, includes the Dajiweng, Kazhan, Baer, Cuobuzha, Jianabeng, and Zhalai ophiolitic …

Oceanic core complexes (OCCs) provide access to intrusive and ultramafic sections of
young lithosphere and their structure and evolution contain clues about how the balance …
