“…(f) The dunites' impregnation characteristic appears to be different in Maqsad (e.g., mostly pl and clinopyroxene (Abily & Ceuleneer, 2013; Boudier & Nicolas, 1995; Koga et al., 2001) but also widespread opx and amph impregnations in the higher level of the transition zone (Rospabé et al., 2017, Rospabé, Benoit, & Candaudap, et al., 2018; Rospabé, Benoit et al., 2019) compared to CM Hole dunites (pl and clinopyroxene impregnations only). Similarly, exotic silicate inclusions (opx, amph, mica for the more abundant) enclosed in disseminated chromite grains in the dunites from the Maqsad area as well as in associated chromitite ore bodies (Lorand and Ceuleneer, 1989; Leblanc and Ceuleneer, 1991; Schiano et al., 1997; Borisov et al., 2012; Rollinson et al., 2018; Zagrtdenov et al., 2018; Rospabé, Ceuleneer et al., 2019, 2020, 2021), suggest the involvement of a fluid or fluid‐rich melt in the melt/rock reactions, which were not investigated in existing work on cores CM1A and CM2B ‐ a few chromite schlierens have been sampled along the cores but not studied in details yet. Further investigation of CM ultramafic rock mineral chemistry is need to evaluate these discrepancies between the two CM and Maqsad sites.…”
