Chromitite layers indicate the existence of large, long-lived, and entirely molten magma chambers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The classical paradigm of the ‘big magma tank’ chambers in which the melt differentiates, is replenished, and occasionally feeds the overlying volcanos has recently been challenged on various grounds.

Widespread abiotic methane in chromitites [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Recurring discoveries of abiotic methane in gas seeps and springs in ophiolites and peridotite massifs worldwide raised the question of where, in which rocks, methane was generated.

Chromitite deposits of Ufaley ultramafic massif (South Urals)
Georesursy, 2022 Data on the morphology, composition, textural and structural features of chromite deposits of the Ufaley ultramafic massif are presented. The mineralogical and compositional features of the host ultramafic rocks allow us to interpret them as depleted ...

Metamorphism on Chromite Ores from the Dobromirtsi Ultramafic Massif, Rhodope Mountains (SE Bulgaria) [PDF]
Geologica Acta, 2009 Podiform chromitite bodies occur in highly serpentinized peridotites at Dobromirtsi Ultramafic Massif (Rhodope Mountains, southeastern Bulgaria). The ultramafic body is believed to represent a fragment of Palaeozoic ophiolite mantle.

Landsat-8 data for chromite prospecting in the Logar Massif, Afghanistan [PDF]
Heliyon, 2018 Chromite is widely distributed in the east and southeast of Afghanistan, especially in Logar Province. Chromite mineralization is podiform-type and is hosted in the stratigraphically lowest ultramafic rocks of the Logar Ophiolite Complex.

The Stillwater Complex chromitites: The response of chromite crystal chemistry to magma injection [PDF]
Geologica Acta, 2012 Nineteen chromite crystals from the A, B, E, G, H, J and K chromitite layers of the Peridotite Zone of the Stillwater Complex (Montana, USA) have been studied by means of X-ray single crystal diffraction and microprobe analyses.
