Abstract/NotesAbstractBased on petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical data, two groups of rodingites have been documented from the polymetamorphic Vumba Schist Belt of Botswana. Group I rodingites contain relict chromite grains with zoned uvarovite-grossular + clinopyroxene + epidote/zoisite ± quartz, whereas group II rodingites contain no chromite and uvarovite. Although the presence of chromite with Cr/(Cr + Al + Fe3+) ratio > 90, similar to chromites found in komatiites, suggests a possible komatiitic origin of group I rodingites, the major and trace element chemical data of most analysed basic rocks from this belt indicate that the protoliths of both groups of rodingites are related to basalt/gabbro of komatiitic affinity. The rodingites formed during the M3 phase of metamorphism.
