Petrology and Geochemistry of Some Ophiolitic Metaperidotites from the Eastern Desert of Egypt: Insights into Geodynamic Evolution and Metasomatic Processes

Abstract: Ophiolitic peridotites exposed in the Eastern Desert (ED) of Egypt record multiple stages of evolution, including different degrees of partial melting and melt extraction, serpentinization, carbonatization and metamorphism. The present study deals with metaperidotites at two selected localities in the central and southern ED, namely Wadi El‐Nabá and Wadi Ghadir, respectively. They represent residual mantle sections of a Neoproterozoic dismembered ophiolite that tectonically emplaced over a volcano‐sedimentary … Show more

“…4b) and the low Ni/Mn ratios (0.7-1.0) of olivine are different from those of replacive peridotites, which are characterized by the replacement of orthopyroxene by olivine neoblasts. The relationship between spinel Cr # and olivine Fo values can be used to deduce the petrogenetic environment, the degree of partial melting, and estimate the formation pressure (Dick and Bullen, 1984;Pearce and Parkinson, 2000;Abdel-Karim et al, 2021). On an olivine Fo contents versus spinel Cr # diagram (Fig.…”

“…Ophiolitic rocks are overlain unconformably from south and west by the post-collisional Dokhan volcanic rocks, which are not metamorphosed and have intermediate to silicic whole-rock composition (630-590 Ma) [23][24][25], and by the Hammamat sediments of clastic molasses-facies (632-590 Ma) [26,27]. A geologic map of the study area [28]. Fawakhir ophiolite sequence and post-collision related granitoid rocks are located in the west, and the ophiolitic mélange occurs in the east.…”
