OCR PDF of supplemental information for the Northern Apennines Ophiolites collection.

Relics of augitic clinopyroxene, albite, actinolite, chlorite, clinozoisite, and sphene. Relics of the clinopyroxene of the original dolerite are in part substituted by chlorite and actinolite in a granoblastic and metablastic matrix of albite,…

Grossular-andradite garnet, diopside, chlorite, sodic pyroxene, vesuvianite, titansphene, opaques. Traces of primitive gabbroid structure with diablastic development of the newlyformed phases and pseudomorphs of sodic pyroxene on primary pyroxenes.…

Antigorite, magnetite, ankeritic carbonate, diopside, tremolite. A very marked subsequent foliation nearly completely obliterates a previous initial foliation.

Antigorite, magnetite, carbonates (ankerite), diopside, clinohumite, tremolite, chlorite. Rarely, pseudomorphs on primary pyroxenes may be recognized, though there is superimposition of various deformational phases.

Gabbro with hydrothermal "oceanic" processes and prehnite-pumpellyite metamorphic overprint.
Plagioclase, clinopyroxene, olivine, ilmenite. metamorphic paragenesis: albite, sericite, chlorite, hematite, sphene, carbonates. Well-preserved relics of…

Na-clinopyroxene (chloromelanite), almandine garnet, rutile, glaucophanic amphibole, harrisitic hornblende, epidote, ablite, chlorIte. Chloromelanite pseudomorphs on primary pyroxenes and chloromelanitic aggregates in plagioclase; granoblastic…

Doleritic basalt with metamorphic overimprinting in prehnite-pumpellyite facies.
Primary minerals: plagioclase, titanaugite, ilmenite, olivine.
Metamorphic paragenesis: albite, pumpellyite, prehnite, sphene, chlorite.

Serpentine (lizardite) with some structural deformation present.

Hyaloclastite of basalt with superimposed metamorphism in pumpellyite-prehnite facies.

Serpentinized peridotite with plagioclase, olivine, plagioclase, clino-pyroxene, chromite. Secondary minerals include hydrogrossuaria as well as serpentine, chlorite, prehnite.

Peridotite, serpentinized, with plagioclase with harrisitic structure.

Basalt dike in gabbro with prehnite-pumpellyite overprint.

Rhodingitized gabbro dike in serpentinite. Chlorite, hydrogrossularia, diopside, prehnite, pumpellyite, vesuviane.

Tectonic-sedimentary breccia of serpentinite modified by hydrothermal events in oceanic environment.

Dioritic gabbro with deformational oceanic metamorphism of amphibolitic to greenschist facies and overprinting of prehnite-pumpellite.
Primary phases: plagioclase, clinopyroxene, olivine, ilmenite. Oceanic metamorphic paragenesis: plagioclase,…

Traces of oceanic metamorphism in greenschist-amphibolitic facies and weak overprint in prehnite-pumpellyite facies.
Metamorphic oceanic paragenesis: dark hornblende, actinolite, chlorite, oligoclase-albite in microfractures or reaction rims on…

Partially serpentinized tectonic lherzolite. Occasionally newly formed diopside may be noted.

Spilitized pillow basalt with overprinted prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism. Arborescent ophitic to spherulitic texture; ablitized and saussuritized plagioclase, chloritized glass matrix, with occasional epidote.

Partially serpentinized Olivine Gabbro.
