Geodynamic setting and origin of the Oman/UAE ophiolite [PDF]
, 2012 The ~500km-long mid-Cretaceous Semail nappe of the Sultanate of Oman and UAE (henceforth referred to as the Oman ophiolite) is the largest and best-preserved ophiolite complex known. It is of particular importance because it is generally believed to have

Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1989 Recent results of dredging and drilling of inner trench slopes have revealed that the abundant ophiolitic rocks (fore-arc ophiolite) crop out in the Izu-Ogasawara, Mariana, Yap, Tonga, and Middle America regions. These are commonly composed of serpentinized peridotite, gabbro, and volcanics of basic to intermediate composition.The fore-arc ophiolite of

A pre-Rodinian ophiolite involved in the Variscan suture of Galicia (Cabo Ortegal Complex, NW Spain) [PDF]
, 2006 U–Pb dating of zircons from a metagabbro of the Purrido amphibolitic unit (Cabo Ortegal Complex, NW Iberian Massif) yielded an age of 1159 ± 39 Ma, interpreted to approximate the crystallization age of the gabbroic protolith.
