Genesis and Tectonic Implications of the Kabr El‐Bonaya Ultramafic Rocks, Sinai Peninsula, Egypt: Constraints from Mineralogical and Geochemical Characteristics

Abstract

The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS, Fig. 1a) represents one of the largest exposures of juvenile continental crust on Earth (Bentor, 1985). The ANS was evolved during the Neoproterozoic East African orogeny (900-550 Ma) and comprises a group of juvenile volcanic arc terranes and ophiolite remnants that were admixed during the
