Iron Isotope Behavior During Melt‐Peridotite Interaction in Supra‐subduction Zone Ophiolite From Northern Tibet

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
Melt-peridotite interaction has the ability to modify the delta Fe-56 of peridotite. However, iron isotopic fractionation during melt-peridotitc interaction is not well understood at present.

Global variations in abyssal peridotite compositions

open access: yesLithos, 2016
Publisher's PDFAbyssal peridotites are ultramafic rocks collected frommid-ocean ridges that are the residues of adiabatic decompression melting. Their compositions provide information on the degree of melting and melt–rock interaction involved in the ...

Melting of Peridotite to 140 Gigapascals

Science, 2010
Under Pressure In order to understand the behavior of materials in the solid deep Earth, it is important to be able to estimate how a material melts at high pressure. To this end, Fiquet et al. (p.

New Caledonia Obducted Peridotite Nappe: Offshore Extent and Implications for Obduction and Postobduction Processes

open access: yesTectonics, 2018
One of the largest ophiolitic peridotite masses in the world covers a quarter of the island of Grande Terre, New Caledonia. The Peridotite Nappe was obducted during the Eocene, is weakly deformed and corresponds to the highest of a structurally simple ...

Orogenic, Ophiolitic, and Abyssal Peridotites

2007
"Tectonically emplaced" mantle rocks include subcontinental, suboceanic, and subarc mantle rocks that were tectonically exhumed from the upper mantle and occur:(i) as dispersed ultramafic bodies, a few meters to kilometers in size, in suture zones and mountain belts (i.e., the "alpine," or "orogenic" peridotite massifs - De Roever (1957), Thayer (1960),

Weathering crusts on peridotite

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2015
Chemical weathering of dark-green massive peridotite, including partly serpentinized peridotite, produces a distinct and remarkable brown weathering rind when exposed to the atmosphere long enough. The structure and mineral composition of crusts on rocks from the Ronda peridotite, Spain, have been studied in some detail.

The origin of abyssal peridotites: a new perspective

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1997
Abyssal peridotites have been interpreted to be residues of mantle melting beneath ocean ridges. Recent experimental data and models of mantle melting allow quantitative tests of this hypothesis. The tests show that abyssal peridotites are not purely melting residues.

Rhodium, gold and other highly siderophile elements in orogenic peridotites and peridotite xenoliths

Chemical Geology, 2011
Abstract The concentrations of Rh, Au and other highly siderophile elements (HSE: Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Rh, Pd and Au), and 187Os/188Os isotope ratios have been determined for samples from peridotite massifs and xenoliths in order to further constrain HSE abundances in the Earth's mantle and to place constraints on the distributions processes ...
