| Abstract/Notes | Ophiolitic rocks occur as a tectonic mélange in the Mutki area of the Eastern Taurus Mountains of south-eastern Turkey. They form the upper part of a Tethyan ophiolite-flysch complex, which is thrust southward over sedimentary rocks of the Arabian foreland (Hall, 1976). The tectonic mélange has a matrix of serpentinite and includes blocks of basic volcanics, gabbros, picrites, and rodingites, most of which have suffered metamorphism and metasomatism. The volcanic rocks have been metamorphosed under conditions transitional between the glaucophane-lawsonite schist facies and the greenschist or greenschist-amphibolite transitional facies of Turner (1968). The picrites have escaped any significant metamorphism, while the gabbros have been partially or completely recrystallized under greenschist facies conditions. Both picrites and gabbros have also suffered calcium metasomatism resulting in the alteration of some of the gabbros to rodingites. Pyroxenes from eight separate blocks from the mélange have been analysed by microprobe (fig. 1) to determine if the pyroxene chemistry is consistent with an igneous origin (as suggested by textural evidence) or if there have been changes due to metamorphism and metasomatism. | ||
