Ophiolites are a newly documented host of diamonds on Earth. Abundant diamonds have indeed been separated from peridotites and chromitites of ophiolites in China, Myanmar, and Russia. In addition, diamond grains have recently been discovered in chromite from the Cretaceous Luobusa ophiolite (Tibet) and the early Paleozoic Ray-Iz ophiolite (polar Urals,

Northern Philippine Ophiolites: Modern Analogues to Precambrian Ophiolites?
2004Publisher Summary The northern Philippines is a possible modern analogue for some Precambrian greenstone belts. The Philippine islands constitute amateur island arc complex comprising mainly of ophiolites, island arc plutons, volcanics and volcaniclastics, and thick sedimentary basins filled with immature sediments.

Petrography and Geochemistry of Ophiolites, Ophiolite Clasts and Triassic Volcanics
1985The previous chapter has documented the fragmentary preservation of the ophiolites: in the ophiolite units, dolerites, basaltic pillow lavas and oceanic sediments occupy most of the surface. Mafic and ultramafic cumulates are of minor areal importance; they consist of more or less serpentinized ultramafics associated with very minor occurrences of ...

Geochronology of the Ophiolites
1979It would be useful to define precisely at the outset the term ophiolite, for it has had various meanings over the course of time. Although, used by Brongniart, Fouquet, Michel-Levy and Dana, one should start with the concept introduced by Steinmann in 1927 to cover the association of peridotites, gabbroes, diabases and spillites, the existence of a ...

Ophiolite and Ophiolitic Complexes in the Philippines: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1994openaire +1 more source
1977
Utilization of scientific terms in geology has several inherent problems, particularly when contemplating both process and description. Ophiolite has had a particularly notorious history in this respect because it has been used in various ways by numerous authors (Green, 1971). Originally, Brongniart (1827) utilized ophiolite to describe serpentinites.
