Ultramafic rocks, mainly serpentinized peridotites of mantle origin, are mostly associated with the ophiolites of Mesozoic age that occur in belts along three of the margins of the Caribbean plate. The most extensive exposures are in Cuba. The ultramafic-

Baula and Pomalaa Ophiolitic Complexes are part of East Sulawesi Ophiolite (ESO). The ultramafic rocks in the Baula and Pomalaa Ophiolite Complex mainly is peridotite and consist of harzburgite, lherzolite and olivine websterite, mostly serpentinized ...

Peridotite weathering is the missing ingredient of Earth’s continental crust composition
The concentration of Ni and Cr of the continental crust cannot be explained by formation models involving differentiated magmatic rocks. Here, the authors show that hydrothermal alteration and chemical weathering of ultramafic rock compensates for the ...

Mineralised ultramafic rocks in South Greenland
In 1960 several mineralised ultramafic boulders with a remarkable content of Pt were found by M. Loretan in the neighbourhood of Sarqa fjord in the Nanortalik district, South Greenland. This stimulated interest in a closer examination of the mafic and ultramafic rocks of South Greenland and in 1962 and 1963 J. P.

Percolation of dioritic melts through ultramafic cumulate mushes and their reaction and hybridization have been documented in some arcs, but the impact of the processes on the compositions of arc igneous rocks is not yet fully understood.
