The Upper Cretaceous Ganj complex, a part of the Jazmurian ophiolitic belt, is located on the western boundary of Jazmurian depression and separated from Kahnuj ophiolitic complex by north-south trending Jiroft fault. The complex consists of lava flows, pillow lavas, acidic plutonic and sedimentary rocks which are intruded by northwest-southeast trending dykes. It does not resemble a classical ...

[1] Volcanic mound fields identified on SeaMARC II and HMR1 12 kHz side-scan data from the southern East Pacific Rise (SEPR) occur near overlapping spreading centers (OSCs) and migration traces of OSCs. The volcanic mound fields appear as a distinctive hummocky seafloor fabric due to side-scan backscatter reflections from clusters of moundshaped reflectors. The lack of growth of the mound field...

chaldoran area in nw of iran has mesozoic oceanic crust basement. the studied rocks of this region can be divided into three groups: ophiolitic gabbros and pillow lavas, ophiolitic volcanoclastics and eocene lava flows. ophiolitic mafic rocks show continental volcanic arc natures and eocene lava flow shows oib-like nature. during the mesozoic,the chaldoran region was situated in the active cont...

Gold has been found in the Cyprus-type volcanogenic massive sulfide ore (VMS) deposits of Corchia ophiolite (Parma province, Italy) in the Cantiere Donnini, Speranza and Pozzo mining sites. At Cantiere Donnini and Speranza, the mineralization occurs at the contact between pillow lava and sedimentary rocks. The Pozzo mineralization is hosted by a serpentinite. Concentrations of gold up to 3070 p...

Abstract Mantle-derived volcanic rocks from the Subbetic hyperextended basin in SE Spain provide new insights into composition and mechanical behavior of mantle during continental rifting. The present study describes a sequential restored cross-section along with geochemical characteristics basaltic interbedded within Mesozoic succession basin. Sedimentary stacking patterns minibasins above mob...
