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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]
, 1983 Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Widespread abiotic methane in chromitites [PDF]
, 2018 Recurring discoveries of abiotic methane in gas seeps and springs in ophiolites and peridotite massifs worldwide raised the question of where, in which rocks, methane was generated.
