Oceanic basalts are formed by melting of a chemically and isotopically heterogeneous mantle source. The oceanic mantle probably resembles a marble cake containing layers of mafic rock – perhaps recycled ocean crust – stored in the mantle for >1 billion years. Many questions about the nature and distribution of these mantle heterogeneities remain. Here we show that lithological and isotopic traces...
The Yungbwa ophiolite is a thrust sheet of about 800 km 2 tectonically overlying an Upper Cretaceous melange south of the Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone in SW Tibet. Both units have been thrust over the sedimentary series of the Tibetan Tethys zone in the course of the India-Eurasia collision. Harzburgite and clinopyroxene-poor lherzolite are the dominant lithologies. Occasional gabbronoritic and...
