Description
Summary:Re-examination of mineral composition of Gy6d Serpentinite Body is accounted for by the different results in literature. On the base of qualitative and semiquantitative XRD determinations, the main phases of the examined rocks are mostly serpentine minerals (30-60 %), talc (10- ?0 %) and chlorite (10-20 %). Chrysotile (20r d symmetry orthochrysotile) and lT-lizardite could have been analysed surely in several samples. The amount of dolomite, quartz, olivine and spinel reaches 10-20 % in several samples; however, these are generally minor phases ogether with calcite and orthopyroxene. Olivine (F090.91) and orthopryroxene (Eng8.93) composition and also Cr# of spinels suggest that the examined rocks are the partial melting residua of a mantle source material. On the base of spinel composition, we assumed that the Gy6d Serpentinite Body was probably formed in an island-arc environment.
