Deep origin of mantle peridotites from the Aladag ophiolite, Turkey: Implication from trace element geochemistry of pyroxenes and mineralogy of ophiolitic diamonds

Hui-Chao Rui et al.

Summary: The Aladag peridotites have undergone high degrees of partial melting and extensive melt-rock interaction. The dunites were produced by early-stage interaction of harzburgite with Si-undersaturated melt, while both dunites and harzburgites experienced late-stage interaction with boninite-like melt. The mineral assemblage of ophiolitic diamond, moissanite, zircon, corundum, and rutile suggests deep processes involved in the formation of the Aladag mantle peridotites.

Two stages of crust-mantle interaction during oceanic subduction to continental collision: Insights from ma fi c-ultrama fi c complexes in the North Qaidam orogen

Pengjie Cai et al.

Summary: This study presents an integrated petrological and geochemical study of the chromitite-bearing Luofengpo mafic-ultramafic complex (CLMC) in the North Qaidam orogen, China. Results suggest that the CLMC represents a suprasubduction zone mantle wedge slice, metasomatized by at least two stages of subduction crustal fluids during the transition from oceanic subduction to continental collision.

Origin of chromite nodules in podiform chromitite from the Kizildag ophiolite, southern Turkey

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the chromite nodules in the Kizildag ophiolite in southern Turkey, finding that the nodules are composed of a patchwork of chromite grains with random crystallographic orientations and low misorientation angles. The relatively homogeneous compositions of chromite crystals in the nodules suggest limited chaotic mixing between two distinct magmas in their formation.

Chromitites from the Vavdos ophiolite (Chalkidiki, Greece): Petrogenesis and geotectonic settings; constrains from spinel, olivine composition, PGE mineralogy and geochemistry

Alkiviadis Sideridis et al.

Summary: Podiform chromitites in the Vavdos ophiolite are associated with dunite bodies hosted within residual mantle harzburgite, sourced from highly depleted mantle developed in fore-arc settings. The chromitites mainly occur as spinel and are enriched in platinum-group elements.

Chromitites of the Kraka ophiolite (South Urals, Russia): geological, mineralogical and structural features

Dmitry E. Saveliev

Summary: The paper discusses disseminated tabular, podiform massive, and transitional chromitite deposits from a mantle section in the Kraka ophiolite massif in South Urals, Russia. The study found that the chromitite deposits are related to the host dunite and their formation is influenced by the deformation of mantle flows.

High-Cr chromitites of the Nidar Ophiolite Complex, northern India: Petrogenesis and tectonic implications

Ranjit Nayak et al.

Summary: The chromitites in the NOC are high in Cr, suggesting a boninitic parent magma and likely formation in an island arc supra-subduction zone. The minor and trace element compositions of the chromitites also support a boninitic magma source. The interactions between melt-rock and melt-melt led to the precipitation of high-Cr chromitites from boninitic melts in the NOC.

Petrogenesis of arc-related peridotite hosted chromitite deposits in Sikhoran-Soghan mantle section, South Iran: Evidence for proto-forearc spreading to boninitic stages

Fatemeh Sepidbar et al.

Summary: The Soghan-Sikhoran ophiolite in southeast Iran is a remnant of an ancient SSZ ophiolite series that formed along the Zagros suture zone, containing various rock types with moderate to high oxygen fugacities, indicating a unique geological structure formed along the southern border of the Neo-Tethyan sea.

Peridotites, chromitites and diamonds in ophiolites

Jingsui Yang et al.

Summary: Ophiolites, segments of oceanic lithosphere emplaced onto continental crust, provide insights into processes such as continental rifting, mantle melting, asthenospheric upwelling and cooling of oceanic lithosphere. Chromium spinel and associated mineral inclusions in ophiolitic mantle sections are crucial for understanding the tectonic setting and past histories, with evidence of deep crustal recycling. Ultra-high-pressure minerals and crustal components in ophiolitic peridotites and chromitites suggest incorporation of deep-recycled crustal material, offering a window into deep crustal recycling and mantle dynamics.
