The Cedrolina Chromitite, Goiás State, Brazil: A Metamorphic Puzzle [PDF]

open access: yesMinerals, 2016
The Cedrolina chromitite body (Goiás-Brazil) is concordantly emplaced within talc-chlorite schists that correspond to the poly-metamorphic product of ultramafic rocks inserted in the Pilar de Goiás Greenstone Belt (Central Brazil). The chromite ore displays a nodular structure consisting of rounded and ellipsoidal orbs (up to 1.5 cm in size), often ...

Recycling Subducted Organic Carbon as Diamonds: An Example From the New Caledonia Forearc Ophiolite

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Micro‐diamonds and moissanite (SiC) have been identified in ophiolitic mantle harzburgites and chromitites of the New Caledonian Peridotite Nappe. The pale yellow (100–250 μm) micro‐diamonds and light blue moissanite (mean −26.5‰, range −33.5‰ to −23.8‰ and mean −26.9‰, range −31.8‰ to −25.6‰ respectively) exhibit consistently strong negative ...

Chromite and platinum group elements mineralization in the Santa Elena Ultramafic Nappe (Costa Rica): geodynamic implications

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2011
Chromitites associated with strongly altered peridotite from six distinct localities in the Santa Elena ultramafic nappe (Costa Rica) have been investigated for the first time.

Probe and SIMS investigation of clinopyroxene inclusions in chromites from the Troodos chromitites (Cyprus): Implications for dunite–chromitite genesis

open access: yesOre Geology Reviews, 2011
Chromite ores formation is still a debated topic and, in this study, detailed analyses of major, minor elements by EMPA and Rare Earth Elements (REE) by SIMS, were performed on silicate inclusions detected in chromite grains of chromitite pods, enveloping dunites and on clinopyroxene of lherzolitic host rock of well known Trodoos chromite ores.

GGR Handbook of Rock and Mineral Analysis Chapter 2 (Part 1) Analysis of Geological Materials – 1: Sample Preparation Methods

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 9-50, March 2025.
Key Points Comprehensive review of dissolution‐decomposition methods based on acid attack and molten salt fusion. Dissolution remains the preferred method for many modern instrumental measurement principles e.g., ICP‐MS, ICP‐AES and TIMS. Comprehensive reviews of flux-free fusion for glasses and production of pressed powder pellets for analysis by EPMA,

Geochemical and Characteristics of Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks of the Suprasubduction Zone Mawat Ophiolite, NE Iraq

open access: yesIraqi Geological Journal, 2022
New geochemical data were presented for the mafic (basalts and gabbros) and ultramafic (dunites, serpentinites and pyroxenites) rocks from the Mawat ophiolite exposed in the Zagros suture zone in northeastern Iraq.

Tibetan chromitites: Excavating the slab graveyard

open access: yesGeology, 2015
Podiform chromitites enclosed in depleted harzburgites of the Luobusa massif (southeastern Tibet) contain diamond and a highly reduced trace-mineral association. Exsolution of diopside and coesite from chromite suggests inversion from the Ca-ferrite structure in the upper part of the mantle transition zone (>400 km).

Genesis of podiform chromitites – a review of models

open access: yesNEWS of the Ural State Mining University, 2020
Relevance of the work. Research aimed at identification of genesis of chromium ores in alpine-type hyperbasites has been conducted by scientists (geologists, petrologists and geochemists) around the world for more than a century. Nevertheless, the issue of their origin remains debatable to this day.
