We agree with Leong that a complex basement composed of both ophiolitic and granitic crust underlies much of Sabah. |
These clasts are essentially ophiolitic consisting of serpentine, olivine, pyroxenes, plagioclase and amphiboles with minor of cherty made up of microquartz and mega quartz. |
The pyroxenite rock, that hosts the main mineralized zone, is part of the Thetford Mines ophiolitic complex which is well known for its chromium potential. |
Tectonopalaeogeographic analysis of the geologic problems related to ophiolitic belt in northeastern Jiangxi Province. |
The so-called ophiolitic relics at the Moldanubian-Brunovistulian boundary show Early Ordovician to Silurian crystallization ages. |
On the other hand, the Kudi gneisses are imbricated with an ophiolitic slice south to Kudi, and overthrust by the Buziwan ultrabasic rocks. |
