The Big Jim complex is a concentrically zoned ultramafic to felsic plutonic complex which intruded the pelitic Chiwaukum schist. Most of the major plutonic rock types (from websterite through hornblendite, gabbronorite, hornblende gabbro and diorite, to granodiorite) enclose harzburgite and metaperidotite xenoliths similar to foliated metaperidotite lenses included in the Chiwaukum schist. The ...

Serpentinization is the process of hydroxylation olivine-rich ultramafic rocks to produce minerals such as serpentine, brucite and magnetite. This commonly accompanied by Fe oxidation release H2, which can be involved in abiotic reaction pathways leading genesis light hydrocarbons methane (CH4). Examples this phenomenon exist at seafloor, serpentinite-hosted Lost City hydrothermal field, on lan...

In the Southern São Francisco Craton near Itapecerica (Minas Gerais – Brazil) occurs a supracrustal succession of rocks, varying from bottom to top by quartzite, graphite schist, khondalitic paragneiss and banded iron formation whose protoliths are oceanic basin with ages in context Rhyacian-Orosirian orogeny. Amphibolite metaultramafic bodies occur associated this succession. Mineralogical tex...

The exposure of Mesozoic rocks in the Mangilu area, both as a result tectonic deformation form mélange, low-high degree metamorphism and deep-sea sediments (flysch, radiolarian cherts, sediment flow olistostrome), which formed subduction zone indicates complex accretionary rocks. purpose this study is to identify trace era. method used was field observation, including collection geological data...

High-pressure dehydration of serpentinite during subduction generates fluids that flux and melt the overlying mantle wedge, forming primary arc basalts. These basalts are substantially more oxidized than their mid-ocean ridge counterparts. At slab surface current zones, these deserpentinization intrinsically oxidized, but, owing to low sulfur content subducted serpentinite, they only result in ...

Core rocks recovered from the main hole (5158 m deep) of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD-MH) project, southern Sulu UHP terrane, east-central China, consist of eclogites, various gneisses and minor metaperidotite cumulates; this lithological section underwent subduction-zone UHP metamorphism. Coesite-bearing eclogites are mainly present between the depths of 100–2000 m, but be...
