Andaman Ophiolite: An Overview [PDF]
, 2020 The Andaman Ophiolite remained little explored for long but recent studies yielded important first-order findings that hold promise for further research. Here we summarise these first-order constraints on the structure, geochemistry, and evolution of the Andaman Ophiolite and identify key frontiers for future research.

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 ...

Extrusion of subducted crust explains the emplacement of far-travelled ophiolites
Nature Communications, 2021 The interplay between continental subduction exhumation dynamics and the obduction of ophiolite sheets remains enigmatic. Here, the authors show that the extrusion of the subducted continental upper crust triggers the necking and breaking of the oceanic ...

Magnetic anisotropy of a sub-ophiolitic metamorphic sole (Mersin ophiolite, Türkiye)
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2023 The Mersin ophiolite of southern Turkey is a well-exposed, Late Cretaceous, Neo-Tethyan suprasubduction zone ophiolite. It is underlain by metamorphic sole rocks inferred to have formed at the top of a down-going plate during subduction.
