Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The petrogenesis study of ultramafic igneous rocks in the South Konawe Region has been carried out by several previous researchers, however, petrogenesis of ultramafic igneous rocks in the Waturapa Region has never been carried out in detail.

Earth's Earliest Phaneritic Ultramafic Rocks: Mantle Slices or Crustal Cumulates? [PDF]
When plate tectonics initiated remains uncertain, partly because many signals interpreted as diagnostic of plate tectonics can be alternatively explained via hot stagnant‐lid tectonics.

The Konawe region is part of the Sulawesi Southeast Arm ophiolite belt where ultramafic rocks are exposed in the form of dunite and peridotite. The formation of nickel deposits is closely related to the weathering process of ultramafic rocks as a source ...

Carbon Mineralization in Fractured Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks: A Review. [PDF]
AbstractMineral carbon storage in mafic and ultramafic rock masses has the potential to be an effective and permanent mechanism to reduce anthropogenic CO2. Several successful pilot‐scale projects have been carried out in basaltic rock (e.g., CarbFix, Wallula), demonstrating the potential for rapid CO2 sequestration.

BADDELEYITE MINERALIZATION OF ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS FROM THE MAIN URALS COLLISIONAL SUTURE (UFALEY METAMORPHIC BLOCK, CENTRAL URALS) [PDF]
Baddeleyite from ultramafic rocks of the Kurta eclogite-schist megamélange (Ufaley metamorphic block, Central Urals) is studied. The zirconium mineralization is established in Ni-bearing forsterite and magnetite-forsterite rocks, which were replaced by ...

Ultramafic rocks, Table Mountain, Newfoundland
Ultramafic rocks exposed on Table Mountain are part of an ophiolite sequence including oceanic crust and mantle rocks. Images show examples of cumulate layering in the ultramafic rocks and some thin chromitite layers.

This study focuses on the use of petrology as a useful tool in construction applications (i.e., concrete). More specifically, this study investigates how the petrogenetic characteristics of ultramafic rocks derived from ophiolite complexes (Veria–Naousa,

Multi-stage serpentinization of ultramafic rocks in the Manlay Ophiolite, southern Mongolia
Serpentinization of ultramafic rocks in ophiolites is key to understanding the global cycle of elements and changes in the physical properties of lithospheric mantle.
