Abstract
Since the late 1970s, it has been increasingly recognized
that the petrology and geochemistry of ophiolites predominantly resemble those of lithological units from
intra-oceanic subduction zones, ranging from nascentand
fore- to intra- or back-arcs, ruling out analogy with
modern oceanic ridge lithosphere. This conclusion is largely based on studies of the Troodos and Oman ophiolites,
which have revealed that the mafic members have
geochemical characteristics transitional between those of
mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and island arc tholeiites
(IAT).
