Compositions of chromite, associated minerals, and parental magmas of podiform chromite deposits: The role of slab contamination of asthenospheric melts in suprasubduction zone environments
Abstract
Podiform chromitites in the mantle sections of ophiolites belong to either high-Cr (metallurgical) or high-Al (refractory) varieties. Their highly variable compositions are reflected by different Cr#s [100Cr / (Cr + Al)] and Cr2O3 and Al2O3 contents of the chromite, falling in the boninitic and MORB fields, respectively. Parental magmas of high-Cr chromitites have higher Sc, Mn, Co and Ni, and lower Ti, V, Zn and Ga concentrations than MORB...
