Multistage origin of dunite in the Purang ophiolite, southern Tibet, documented by composition, exsolution and Li isotope characteristics of constituent minerals [PDF]

European Journal of Mineralogy, 2020
The Purang ophiolite, which crops out over an area of about 650 km2 in the western Yarlung–Zangbo suture zone, consists chiefly of mantle peridotite, pyroxenite and gabbro.

Hydrothermal Chromitites from the Oman Ophiolite: The Role of Water in Chromitite Genesis

Minerals, 2020
The role of water-rich solutions in the formation of chromitites has been the matter of controversy. We found small chromite concentrations (chromitites) in diopsidites, precipitated from high-temperature hydrothermal fluids, in the mantle to the crust of the Oman ophiolite. Here, we present petrologic characteristics of the hydrothermal chromitites to

Integrated geophysical methods for boulder delineation to improve mining

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 71, Issue 7, Page 1226-1246, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Near‐surface boulders can pose serious challenges to opencast mining. They often introduce complexities, delays in drilling, blasting and excavation programmes, which subsequently decrease mining efficiency, increase mining risks and costs. The location of subsurface boulders and the identification of other geological features that may impact ...

Exotic accessory minerals in layered chromities of the Campo Formoso complex (Brazil)

Geologica Acta, 2006
The Campo Formoso stratiform intrusive complex, in Bahia State, Brazil, considered to be of Paleoproterozoic age, consists of a tabular body of ultramafic rocks about 40 km long and 100-1100 m wide.

The Central Series of the Rum Igneous Complex, NW Scotland: the rises and falls of magma in a large mafic‐ultramafic volcano

Geology Today, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 130-143, July/August 2023., 2023
The Central Series of the Paleocene mafic to ultramafic Rum complex is the youngest of the three main cumulate series that make up the layered igneous complex of this famed Scottish island. The Central Series lies along the Long Loch Fault and provides insights into the feeder system to the Rum intrusion at an erosion level of about two kilometres ...

Formation and Evolution of Chromitites in the Hongshishan Complex, Beishan Orogenic Collage, NW China: Constraints from Mineralogical Compositions, Re‐Os Isotopes and Platinum‐Group Element Geochemistry

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 727-743, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The Hongshishan chromitite deposits are situated to the north of the Beishan orogenic collage, in the southern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. This study describes the mineral chemistry, Re‐Os isotopes and platinum‐group elements geochemistry of the Hongshishan chromitites for the purpose of constraining the origin, evolution and ...

Polyphase tectonic reworking of serpentinites and chlorite‐tremolite‐talc rocks (SW Spain) from the subduction forearc to intracontinental emplacement

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 491-523, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The petrostructural and geochronological study of a poorly known ultramafic unit from SW Spain (Badajoz–Córdoba belt) combined with previous structural data permits disclosure of a history of metasomatism, tectono‐metamorphism, reworking and isotopic resetting related to a poly‐orogenic evolution in different geodynamic scenarios.

Abiotic Methane Generation via CO2 Hydrogenation With Natural Chromitite Under Hydrothermal Conditions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
In modern continental serpentinization systems and ultramafic rock‐hosted sub‐seafloor hydrothermal systems, it is believed that chromitite plays an important role in abiotic hydrocarbon generation.

The structure and cryptic layering of the Pados-Tundra ultramafic complex, Serpentinite belt, Kola Peninsula, Russia [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2017
The Paleoproterozoic Pados-Tundra ultramafic complex, ~6 x 1.5-2.1 km in size and ~2.1 Ga in age, located in the Kola Peninsula of Russia, is the main representative of the Serpentinite belt in the northern Fennoscandian Shield.
