Abstract. The Purang ophiolite, which crops out over an area of about 650 km2 in the western Yarlung–Zangbo suture zone, consists chiefly of mantle peridotite, pyroxenite and gabbro. The mantle peridotite is comprised mainly harzburgite and minor dunite. Locally, the latter contains small pods of chromitite. Pyroxenite and gabbro occur as veins of …
Dunite: Formation, Composition, Properties – Geology In
Dunite is an intrusive igneous rock of ultramafic composition and with a phaneritic texture. Dunite, also known as olivinite, is known for its coarse-grained texture and almost exclusive composition of the mineral olivine.In fact, dunite is typically 90% or more olivine, with minor amounts of other minerals like pyroxene, chromite, magnetite, and pyrope.
