Abstract: Abstract Submicroscopic to micro-diamonds, silicates, wustite, platinum group minerals (PGM), sulfides and ultra-high pressure (UHP) mineral inclusions have been recovered from podiform and banded chromitites of the Bulqiza ophiolite in Albania. The alignment of acicular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oregeorev.2020.103401
Abstract: Abstract Primary high-Al [Cr# = 100 × Cr/(Cr + Al) of 48.2–54.7] chromitites coupled with high-Cr (Cr# = 70.9–80.7) chromitite fragments are identified in the podiform chromitites hosted by the Sartohay ophiolitic melange in west Junggar, northwest China. New… read more here.
