| Research Abstract |
1. We recognized a wide petrographical variation of peridotite, its deformational history, cystallographical change of minerals and origin of mylonites within the upper mantle section of the northern Oman ophiolite. High-PGE chromitite was also discovered.
2. We classified the late-intrusive rocks into three types in terms of petrography. Komatititic extrusives were found associated with picrite basalt, a quench phase of the late intrusives.
3. The segmetation structure of a mid-ocean ridge was estimated by the strutural change of gabbroic layers. Noritic gabbro intruding around the derivative magma chmabers around the segment center impose contact metamorphism of up to granulite facies on surrounding sheeted dike complex. The structure and evolutional history of the roof zone of magma chambers were clarified.
4. The upper lavas can be classified into three groups by high-accuracy chemical analysis of their Cpx phenocrysts, and the genesis was estimated for individual groups. Boninite was newly found. Preliminary data on the Salahi volcanics that erupted at the obuduction stage were presented.
5. Hysrothermal metal mineralization was geologically and geochemically examined to understand its genesis. Reaction between aqueous fluid and chlorite in meta-basalts is of vital importance for their characteristics of Zn and Ni contents. The water/rock ratio in the hydrothermal fluid formation is around 20, that is far higher than the calculated values, 2 to 4.
6. The thermal structure of the ocean-floor metamorphism was examined in basalt to dolerite to confirm a temprature increase downward.
7. The shear sense on the metamorphic sole is NE-SW and the hanging side was confirmed to have moved toward SW.The basic amphibolite of the sole demonstrates variable flow textures within several tens of meters from the contact with overlying ultramafic rocks.
