Geochemistry of subduction zone serpentinites: A review
Over the last decades, numerous studies have emphasized the role of serpentinites in the
subduction zone geodynamics. Their presence and role in subduction environments are …

Continental and oceanic core complexes
Core-complex formation driven by lithospheric extension is a first-order process of heat and
mass transfer in the Earth. Core-complex structures have been recognized in the continents …

Tectonic significance of serpentinites
At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Modes of seafloor generation at a melt-poor ultraslow-spreading ridge
We report on extensive off-axis bathymetry, gravity, and magnetic data that provide a 26-my-
long record of axial tectonic and magmatic processes over a 660-km-long and melt-poor …

Continuous exhumation of mantle-derived rocks at the Southwest Indian Ridge for 11 million years
The global mid-ocean ridge system, where tectonic plates diverge, is traditionally thought of
as the largest single volcanic feature on the Earth. Yet, wide expanses of smooth sea floor in …

Life cycle of oceanic core complexes
Oceanic core complexes are the uplifted footwalls of very-large-offset low-angle normal
faults that exhume lower crust and mantle rocks onto the seafloor at slow-spreading ridges …

A type sequence across an ancient magma-poor ocean–continent transition: the example of the western Alpine Tethys ophiolites
G Manatschal, O Müntener - Tectonophysics, 2009 - Elsevier
The ophiolites from the Alpine Tethys are incompatible with the definition of the classical 3-
layered Penrose ophiolite sequence, but they also show features that are inconsistent with …
