A review of previous work relevant to the formation of concentrations of chromite in
peridotites from ophiolitic (sl) sequences highlights some of the key problems in …

Podiform chromitites have long supplied us with unrivaled information on various mantle
processes, including the peridotite-magma reaction, deep-seated magmatic evolution, and …

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

Podiform chromitites have been interpreted as the result of melt–rock reaction and related
melt mixing in upper mantle sections of ophiolites. However, the discovery of ultrahigh …

Podiform chromitites have been interpreted as a peridotite/melt reaction product within the
upper mantle (= low-P chromitites). Some of them, however, contain ultrahigh-pressure …

Chromitites or chromite mineralization of varying degrees has been discovered in the
various ophiolites along the east–west trending Yarlung-Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) in …

Ophiolitic podiform chromitites from Phanerozoic orogens have been shown to preserve a
wealth of textures and inclusions that, in some way, trace earlier episodes of subduction and …

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 …

Black sands in the southern Eastern Desert (SED) of Egypt contain substantial reserves of
heavy minerals (up to 5%), and are found mainly in three basins namely: Hodein, Ibib and …

Newly recognized occurrences of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) minerals including diamonds in
ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) felsic granulites of orogenic belts, in chromitites associated with …
