Ophiolites are sequences of mafic to ultramafic rock generally believed to represent ancient oceanic are distributed all across the world being all of them located at present or past orogenic belts, sites of mountain building processes.. Ophiolites are common in orogenic belts of Mesozoic age, like those formed by the closure of the Tethys Ocean.
U/Pb zircon ages are reported for four ophiolites and three crosscutting arc-related plutons from the Norwegian Caledonides. Plagiogranite differentiated from gabbro of the Karmøy ophiolite is dated at +7/-4 Ma whereas arc-related trondhjemite cutting this ophiolite crystallized at +/−2 Ma. A crosscutting clinopyroxene-phyric gabbro intrusion is dated at +9/−5 Ma by near Cited by: Chronology of Pluton Emplacement and Regional Deformation in the Southern Sierra Nevada Batholith, California, in J.

Boulder, Colo.: Geological Society of America, (OCoLC) An ophiolite is a section of the Earth's oceanic crust and the underlying upper mantle that has been uplifted and exposed above sea level and often emplaced onto continental crustal rocks.
The Greek word ὄφις, ophis (snake) is found in the name of ophiolites, because of the superficial texture of some of tinite especially evokes a snakeskin.

These facts point to a subduction-related origin for most ophiolites, in other words near shore instead of the : Andrew Alden.

Other articles where Ophiolite is discussed: igneous rock: Divergent plate boundaries: ultramafic rocks are known as ophiolites.
Many geologists believe that ophiolites formed at oceanic ridges were emplaced by tectonic forces at convergent plate boundaries and then became exposed in highly deformed orogenic (mountain) belts.
In fact, the same sequences of rocks were first reported in the.

Ophiolites are distinctive assemblages of mafic, ultramafic, and felsic igneous rocks that are commonly thought to represent oceanic crust and mantle that has been accreted to a continental margin.
The accretion of ophiolite and island arc terranes has been the primary mechanism of continental growth since the Proterozoic. Ophiolites, Arcs, - $ Ophiolites, Arcs, And Batholiths A Tribute To Cliff By John W.

Since the late s, the term ophiolite has been used to describe sections of oceanic crust and upper mantle, along with sedimentary rocks deposited on the sea floor, emplaced as thrust slices onto continental process, called obduction, results from continent-continent collision following subduction of oceanic crust and the closure of oceans or back-arc basins.

Shadows over Oman mantle peridotite, January def. Ophiolite:An ophiolite is a segment of ocean crust and mantle tectonically exposed on land by obduction (overthrust), usually when an ocean basin closes.
An ophiolite sequence consists of variably altered oceanic rocks, including marine sediments, ocean crust, and part of the mantle. The name ophiolite means “snakestone” from “ophio.The purpose of this book is to provide a starting point for anyone interested in the background and state of knowledge concerning ophiolites (ancient oceanic lithosphere).
Because ophiolites represent fragments of old oceanic crust their tectonic setting and age are extremely important in the reconstruction of ancient plate boundaries.Ophiolites have been found in Cyprus, New Guinea, Newfoundland, California, and Oman. The Samail ophiolite in southeastern Oman has probably been studied in the greatest detail.
The rocks probably formed in the Cretaceous not far from the what is now the Persian Gulf. The rocks were later thrust (pushed uphill at a low angle) westward onto the.
