The composition of chromian spinel in alpine-type peridotites has a large reciprocal range of
Cr and Al, with increasing Cr#(Cr/(Cr+ Al)) reflecting increasing degrees of partial melting in …

The Luobusa ophiolite in the Indus—Yarlung Zangbo suture of southern Tibet hosts the
largest known chromite deposit in China. The podiform chromitites occur in a well-preserved …

Suprasubduction zone (SSZ) ophiolites display a consistent sequence of events during their
formation and evolution that suggests that they form in response to processes that are …

Chromite in upper mantle environments appears to result from incongruent melting of
pyroxenes in addition to being the product of direct crystallization from partial melts in small …

The volcanic stratigraphy and trace element geochemistry of the Oman ophiolite complex
indicate a multistage magmatic origin comprising:(1) magmatism due to sea-floor spreading …

In this book metal deposits, in particular those of non-ferrous and precious metals, are
classified and analyzed in terms of their plate tectonic settings. This approach allows a …

Chromite deposits in the northern Oman ophiolitic complex occur in three structural contexts,
ie,(1) at the base of the cumulate series,(2) in the top kilometer of the mantle sequence, and …

Chromium ore deposits range in age from 3.5-billion year-old chromite in the Selukwe
greenstone belt (Zimbabwe) to the ophiolite-hosted Miocene deposits of New Caledonia …

The investigated chromitite dike is located at the top of an upwelling mantle structure of the
Oman ophiolite (Maqsad diapir), in undeformed dunites displaying evidence for magma …

In the north Oman mountains, a continuous ophiolite succession is exposed, from tectonized
harzburgites and dunites at the base, through layered gabbros and peridotites, high‐level …
