Petrology of Polygenic Mafic-Ultramafic Massifs of the East Sakhalin Ophiolite Association

The well-known concept of plate tectonics long dominated notions of stratified structure of ophiolite associations and overlap gabbroides on ultramafites. This book presents data that does not agree with these views and suggests an earlier introduction of protrusions of ultramafic upper mantle restites against the intrusions of gabbroides breaks, and their parent melts are actively working on ultramafic and convert them. This work presents new evidence of polychronic and polygenic...
More Description

The well-known concept of plate tectonics long dominated notions of stratified structure of ophiolite associations and overlap gabbroides on ultramafites. This book presents data that does not agree with these views and suggests an earlier introduction of protrusions of ultramafic upper mantle restites against the intrusions of gabbroides breaks, and their parent melts are actively working on ultramafic and convert them. This work presents new evidence of polychronic and polygenic formation of complex mafic-ultramafic massifs and various mechanisms of the formation of their rocks.
