Podiform chromitites and mantle peridotites of the Antalya ophiolite, Isparta Angle (SW Turkey): Implications for partial melting and melt–rock interaction in oceanic and subduction-related settings

Petrogenesis of the Kangjinla peridotite in the Luobusa ophiolite, Southern Tibet

“…Island arc tholeiites and boninites are typical rock types in SSZ tectonic settings, e.g., in the Cretaceous Kizildag ophiolite (Turkey), the Troodos ophiolite (Cyprus) and the Semail ophiolite (Oman) (Dilek and Thy, 2009). The multistage evolution of SSZ magmatism in Tethyan subduction factories has been explored by Dilek et al (2007), Dilek and Thy (2009) and Caran et al (2010), and has been shown to reflect a geochemical progression through time and space, generally beginning with MORB and moving sequentially to IAT and boninitic compositions. This evolution is considered to be the result of variable degrees of melting of a highly heterogeneous and repeatedly depleted mantle source, which had been previously modified by slab-derived fluids and melts (Dilek et al, 2007).…”

Subduction initiation of Indochina and South China blocks: insight from the forearc ophiolitic peridotites of the Song Ma Suture Zone in Vietnam

“…The HFSEs (U, Hf, Nd, Zr and U) are commonly suggested as immobile during low-temperature alteration and show relative enrichment in the primitive-mantle-normalized patterns (Fig. 8), suggesting that they are probably not controlled by mantle contaminated by continental fluid at a low temperature but by rockmelt interaction (Caran et al, 2010;Ulrich et al, 2010).…”

The OB, crops out along the Zagros fold-thrust belt from the NW to SE (Fig.…”
