Convective circulation of seawater through oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges (MOR) and on
ridge flanks has wide-ranging effects on heat transport, the chemical and isotopic …

▪ Abstract Geological investigations of major fault scarps (“tectonic windows”) and
DSDP/ODP Drill Holes provide direct views of the uppermost oceanic crust generated at fast …

Serpentinites are an important component of the oceanic crust generated in slow to
ultraslow spreading settings. In this context, the MOHO likely corresponds to a hydration …

This paper discusses the geological and geophysical data available on mid‐ocean ridges
with outcrops of serpentinized mantle peridotites, with the objective of better constraining the …

This paper reports the igneous petrology and geochemistry of harzburgite-tectonites,
crosscutting dunites, and local gabbroic segregations drilled from a tectonically exposed …

We have compiled new and published data on the magnetic properties of 245 serpentinized
abyssal peridotites from seven Deep Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program sites …

Abyssal peridotites and mid-ocean-ridge basalts (MORBs) are complementary products of
the mantle melting and melt-extraction processes that create the ocean crust. Studies of …

Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) provide fundamental information about the composition
and melting processes in the Earth's upper mantle. To use MORB to further our …

Mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) is the most abundant magma on Earth, and provides a
geochemical window into the mantle. Deriving mantle composition and melting processes …

The peridotite-basalt association in the Garrett Transform,∼ 13° 28′ S, East Pacific Rise
(EPR), provides a prime opportunity for examining mantle melting and melt extraction …
