The first finding of serpentinite in bedrock outcrops of Crimean Mountains

The geological setting and composition of serpentinites and serpentinized peridotites that were found for the first time in Crimean Mountains are described. Jointly with pillow lavas, gabbros, fragments of a parallel dike complex, and jaspers, they form an ophiolitic association that is attributed t...

Summary:The geological setting and composition of serpentinites and serpentinized peridotites that were found for the first time in Crimean Mountains are described. Jointly with pillow lavas, gabbros, fragments of a parallel dike complex, and jaspers, they form an ophiolitic association that is attributed to the ancient crust that formed in a backarc basin that evolved to the spreading stage.
