Geophysical imaging of ophiolite structure in the United Arab Emirates
Nature Communications, 2020 The Semail ophiolite provides evidence for geological processes that form oceanic crust, however, its deep structure remains debated. Here, the authors use geophysical imaging to determine that the ophiolite is bound by a thrust fault in the west, and a ...

Ediacaran Obduction of a Fore-Arc Ophiolite in SW Iberia: A Turning Point in the Evolving Geodynamic Setting of Peri- Gondwana [PDF]
Tectonics, 2018 The Calzadilla Ophiolite is an ensemble of mafic and ultramafic rocks that represents the transition between lower crust and upper mantle of a Cadomian (peri-Gondwanan) fore arc.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Looking for natural hydrogen in Albania and Kosova
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 A regional geochemistry field study was conducted in Albania and Kosova to spot natural H2 occurrences related to ophiolite massifs. A total of 21 sites, mainly consisting of natural springs, were studied, and nine were sampled for analyzing associated ...

PETROLOGY OF THE CRUSTAL PLUTONIC ROCKS OF NAWEOBA BLOCK, ZHOB OPHIOLITE, BALOCHISTAN, PAKISTAN [PDF]
Earth Sciences Pakistan, 2021 Zhob Ophiolite complex is composed of three detached blocks named Omzha, Ali Khanzai and Naweoba blocks. The crustal plutonic section of the Naweoba block is mapped and divided into gabbro and granite. Based on petrographical studies, the gabbros fell in

Mineralogical evolution of the northern Bossoroca ophiolite, São Gabriel terrane
Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2020 Mineralogical evolution of ophiolites is significant to understand paleo-oceanic crust and mantle requiring multi-proxy techniques to identify steps in the processes. We studied the Bossoroca ophiolite from the southern Brasiliano Orogen, a prime example

Chemistry of accessory chromian spinel in serpentinites from the Penjwen ophiolite rocks, Zagros thrust zone, [PDF]
Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2009 Chromian spinel is a widespread accessory mineral in ultramafic rocks of the Penjwen ophiolite, occurring in two modes; fresh grains in dunite rocks that crop out in the eastern part and altered grains in serpentinized peridotites in the western part of ...
