An origin of ultraslow spreading ridges for the Yarlung-Tsangpo ophiolites [PDF]
As relics of ancient ocean lithosphere, ophiolites are the most important petrological evidence for marking the sutures and also play a key role in reconstructing plate configuration.

Archean versus Phanerozoic oceanic crust formation and tectonics: Ophiolites through time
A global compilation of structural, lithological, and geochemical data on a selection of Archean, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic magmatic complexes, interpreted as ophiolites, is presented.

Andaman Ophiolite: An Overview [PDF]
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.

MINERALOGICAL-GEOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF MAGNETITE OCCURRENCES IN SERPENTINITES OF THE KALKAN AREA (MAIN URALIAN FAULT ZONE, SOUTH URALS) [PDF]
Chemical and mineralogical composition of magnetite occurrences from serpentinites of the Kalkan mélange area of the Main Uralian Fault zone (South Urals) is studied. Abundant Cu minerals including native copper, Cu sulfides (covellite, bornite, minerals

The ephemeral history of Earth’s youngest supra-subduction zone type ophiolite from Timor
Ophiolites occur widely in orogenic belts, yet their origins remain controversial. Here we present a modern example with a geodynamic model from Timor, eastern Indonesia, where Earth’s youngest supra-subduction zone (SSZ)-type ophiolitic fragments are ...

Based on the model of an oceanic island-arc breakup followed by accretion of rear and frontal parts of an arc to a continental margin of North-East Asia, the geodynamic nature of the ophiolites of Kamchatka and South Koryakia has been considered.

Ophiolite complex of Piedmont-Ligurian basin (Northern Apennines)
The Northern Apennines contain remnants of the Piedmont-Ligurian Basin (PLB) or ocean, which during the Late Mesozoic time (mainly in the Jurassic) separated the paleo-Europe (Iberian plate) from the southern paleocontinent Adria at the Africa promontory.

Modelling the closure of narrow oceanic basins by means of numerical simulations [PDF]
Numerical simulations represent an established approach in investigation of geodynamic processes in the Earth's interior and it is applied to a vast variety of geological problems. The closure of a narrow oceanic realm is modelled in this paper. Firstly,
