The mid-ocean ridge (MOR)-type gabbroic sequences from the Internal Ligurian ophiolites include olivine-rich troctolite lenses up to tens of metres thick. For one of these lenses, a portion of metre-scale thickness characterized by skeletal to dendritic olivines (harrisites) was observed near the contact with host gabbros. Spinels from the olivine-rich troctolites locally include Ti-pargasite to kaersutite frequently associated with phlogopite to Na-phlogopite. Spinel-hosted amphibole displays rare earth element (REE) patterns characterized by a negative Eu anomaly, thereby recording a magmatic process associated with plagioclase segregation. The amphiboles show variable depletion of light REE (LREE) relative to middle REE (MREE), and heavy REE (HREE) that are weakly enriched to depleted with respect to MREE. Crystallization of the inclusion-bearing spinels is attributed to cooling of hybrid melts that originated by interaction between primitive melts and gabbro-related melts relatively rich in SiO 2 and incompatible elements. Clinopyroxene and amphibole from the harrisites show extensive variability for trace element compositions, albeit characterized by subparallel incompatible element patterns. This chemical variability was most probably acquired in response to rapid crystal growth related to undercooling of the harrisite parental melt. We propose that the melt undercooling was related to interaction of a primitive melt batch with a gabbroic crystal mush.

publications.iodp.org • 3 known because of the deviation of the pipe below the ship, which can vary depending on water currents, tides, and water depth; the hole position is thus known typically within 10 m accuracy.Drilling sites were numbered according to the series that began with the first site drilled by the D/V Glomar Challenger in 1968. Starting with Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 301, the prefix "U" designates sites occupied by JOIDES Resolution. When drilling multiple holes at a site, hole locations are typically offset from each other by ~20 m. During Expedition 396, we offset holes at an average of 115 m, except for Site U1570, where holes were offset as far as 1772 m. Site U1570 was approved by EPSP as a 2 km long "ribbon" or transect west of Site U1569 with start and end coordinates. This ribbon provided an alternate coring strategy to Site U1569, where deep stratigraphic targets were outcropping at shallower subseafloor depths. A letter suffix distinguishes each hole drilled at the same site. The first hole drilled is assigned the site number modified by the suffix "A," the second hole takes the site number and the suffix "B," and so forth. During Expedition 396, 21 holes were drilled at 10 sites (U1565-U1574; see Figure F4 in the Expedition 396 summary chapter [Planke et al., 2023a]).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
