Journal ArticleDOI
Podiform Chromitites in the Luobusa Ophiolite (Southern Tibet): Implications for Melt-Rock Interaction and Chromite Segregation in the Upper Mantle
TL;DR: The largest known chromite deposit in China is the Luobusa ophiolite in the Indus-ladling Zjingbo suture of southern Tibet as discussed by the authors, which consists of a large number of podiform chromitites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb–O isotopic compositions of the post-collisional ultrapotassic magmatism in SW Tibet: Petrogenesis and implications for India intra-continental subduction beneath southern Tibet

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a large number of ultrapotassic lavas with high light rare earth element (LREE) and large ion lithophile element (LILE) concentrations, but are low in high field strength elements (HFSE).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Troodos ophiolitic complex probably formed in a subduction initiation, slab edge setting
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Mehegan-Robinson set of 137 fresh volcanic glass analyses to sidestep the controversy over the effect of alteration on major element classification diagrams and concluded that the Troodos Massif is made up of oceanic crust built from a high-Si8, moderate-Fe tholeiitic magma, overlain by boninites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ophiolites of the Kunlun Mountains, China and their tectonic implications
TL;DR: Three ophiolite belts, ranging in age from Cambrian to Triassic, provide valuable data on the tectonic evolution of the Kunlun Mountains which lie along the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
REE and PGE Geochemical Constraints on the Formation of Dunites in the Luobusa Ophiolite, Southern Tibet
TL;DR: In this article, a chromite-bearing Dunite dyke in the Luobusa ophiolite, Southern Tibet, lies in the Indus-Yarlung Zangbo suture zone that separates Eurasia to the north from the Indian continent to the south.
