Role of dunite in genesis of primitive MORB [PDF]
Dunite and related rocks from the Moho transition zone of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) and the Mid-Cayman Trough (MCT) are examined to know the spreading-rate dependence of their compositions. The rocks from both ridges are basically a reaction product between peridotite and primitive MORB. Despite the large difference of prevalent peridotite chemistry,

Adsorption of hexavalent chromium on dunite
The paper presents and discusses the effect of various physicochemical parameters (e.g. pH, ionic strength, Cr(VI) initial concentration, amount of the adsorbent, temperature and contact time between metal ion and adsorbent) on the adsorption efficiency of Cr(VI) on dunite in aqueous solutions under atmospheric conditions.

Alteration of a Mantle‐Derived Dunite Boulder in Jezero Crater, Mars
In 2023, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover explored the youngest preserved deposits on the Western fan of Jezero crater, Mars: a field of meter‐scale boulders dispersed above the previously explored sandstone and siltstone units.

Spectroscopic Investigations and Mineral Chemistry of Dunite from the Sargur Supracrustals (3 Ga) Greenstone Belt: Implications to Terrestrial Analogues for Lunar and Martian Dunite [PDF]
Archean Serpentinised dunite is important not only for understanding the evolution of the ultramafic deposit of magnesium, but also serves as a possible sink material for the carbon dioxide sequestration.

The basal dunite of the Precambrian mafic-ultramafic Narankavaara intrusion : Petrogenetic considerations and implications to exploration [PDF]
Several mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions were emplaced in the Fennoscandian Shield during wide-spread mantle-sourced magmatism at 2.5-2.4 Ga. The Narankavaara intrusion (surface area 5 x 30 km(2)), northeastern Finland, contains a 1.5-2 km thick basal
