“…Since then, the idea that podiform chromitites are formed through reaction between mantle peridotites (especially harzburgites) and boninitic or tholeiitic melts has attracted considerable attention from many scholars (Arai and Yurimoto, 1994;Zhou et al, 1994Zhou et al, , 1996Zhou et al, , 1997Arai, 1997;Edwards et al, 2000;Rollinson and Adetunji, 2013;Arai et al, 2015). However, occurrence of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) and highly reduced minerals (e.g., diamond and moissanite) strongly suggests that podiform chromitites are formed at mantle depths of 150-300 km or even greater (Yang et al, 1981;Bai et al, 2001Bai et al, , 2002Bai et al, , 2004Bai et al, , 2007Yang et al, 2002Yang et al, , 2007Yang et al, , 2013Yang et al, , 2014Yang et al, , 2015aXu et al, 2008Xu et al, , 2009Xu et al, , 2013Xu et al, , 2015.…”

“…These studies include: major and trace elemental and/or isotopic compositions of different textural chromitites and their host peridotites (e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]), and unusual ultrahigh-pressure (UHP), highly reduced and crustally derived minerals found either in situ or as separates in the chromitites and peridotites (e.g., [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]). [42]), and the distribution of magmatism on the Lhasa terrane (modified from Chung et al [43]).…”

“…The Luobusa ophiolite originated at a mid-ocean ridge spreading center at 177 ± 31 Ma and was later modified by supra-subduction zone (SSZ) magmatism at 120 ± 10 Ma involving an intra-oceanic subduction system [5][6][7]41,53,54]. However, the presence of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) and highly reduced minerals such as diamond, coesite, and native elements, initially found in the chromitites but more recently also in their host peridotites, requires additional processes or models to outline the genesis of the chromitites (e.g., [4,10,11,13,[17][18][19][20][55][56][57]). …”

“…The identification of ultra-high pressure (UHP) phases in chromitites and harzburgites of ophiolite complexes (Robinson et al, 2004;Yang et al, 2014Yang et al, , 2015 appears to be changing that view. It is now being argued that mantle sections of ophiolites either originate in, or were processed within, the Earth's mantle at depths as great as 600 km Xu et al, 2015;Griffin et al, 2016). Furthermore, these UHP phases are often found associated with ultra-reduced minerals: native metals, silicides, carbides, and nitrides (Dobrzhinetskaya et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2015).…”
