    Ophiolite in Southeast Asia CHARLES S. HUTCHISON Department of Geology, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ABSTRACT semblages are classified into definite ophiolite, tentatively identified ophiolite, and associations that have previously been named No fewer than 20 belts of mafic-ultramafic assemblages have ophiolite but that are not. Each of the ophiolite or other been named "ophiolite" in the complex Southeast Asia region of mafic-ultramafic associations is listed in Table 1, with brief reasons Sundaland. Fewer than half of these can be confidently classified as for its classification, particularly in regard to the petrography of the ophiolite. The only well-documented complete ophiolite, with con- rock suite and the nature of its sedimentary envelope. The basis for tinuous conformable sections from mantle harzburgite through identification (or rejection) of these rock associations as ophiolite is gabbro to spilite, occurs in northeast Borneo and the neighboring discussed in the following section. Philippine Islands. It contains a record of oceanic lithospheric his- tory from Jurassic to Tertiary and has a Miocene emplacement age. OPHIOLITE FORMATION All other ophiolite belts of the region are either incomplete or dis- membered. The Sundaland region probably has examples of several The oceanic lithosphere, with its thin oceanic crust formed along types of emplacement mechanism and emplacement ages ranging the spreading axes of divergent plate junctures, is thought to be from early Paleozoic to Cenozoic. Key words: Sundaland, plate consumed at arc-trench systems of convergent plate junctures (Fig. tectonics. 2). Minor subtractions of crustal and mantle material from de- scending slabs of oceanic lithosphere are thought to be added to INTRODUCTION belts of mélange, and imbricate slices are caught in crustal subduc- tion zones at the trenches (Dickinson, 1972).

    Bedrock Geology Glossary from the Roadside Geology of Minnesota, Richard W

    Minnesota Bedrock Geology Glossary From the Roadside Geology of Minnesota, Richard W. Ojakangas Sedimentary Rock Types in Minnesota Rocks that formed from the consolidation of loose sediment Conglomerate: A coarse-grained sedimentary rock composed of pebbles, cobbles, or boul- ders set in a fine-grained matrix of silt and sand. Dolostone: A sedimentary rock composed of the mineral dolomite, a calcium magnesium car- bonate. Graywacke: A sedimentary rock made primarily of mud and sand, often deposited by turbidi- ty currents. Iron-formation: A thinly bedded sedimentary rock containing more than 15 percent iron. Limestone: A sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate. Mudstone: A sedimentary rock composed of mud. Sandstone: A sedimentary rock made primarily of sand. Shale: A deposit of clay, silt, or mud solidified into more or less a solid rock. Siltstone: A sedimentary rock made primarily of sand. Igneous and Volcanic Rock Types in Minnesota Rocks that solidified from cooling of molten magma Basalt: A black or dark grey volcanic rock that consists mainly of microscopic crystals of pla- gioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and perhaps olivine. Diorite: A plutonic igneous rock intermediate in composition between granite and gabbro. Gabbro: A dark igneous rock consisting mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene in crystals large enough to see with a simple magnifier. Gabbro has the same composition as basalt but contains much larger mineral grains because it cooled at depth over a longer period of time. Granite: An igneous rock composed mostly of orthoclase feldspar and quartz in grains large enough to see without using a magnifier. Most granites also contain mica and amphibole Rhyolite: A felsic (light-colored) volcanic rock, the extrusive equivalent of granite.

    Journal ofthe Geological Sociefy, London, Vol. 145, 1988, pp. 661-667, 4 figs, 2 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland A K-feldspar breccia from the MO-Cu stockwork deposit in the Galway Granite, west of Ireland J. M. DERHAM & M. FEELY Department of Geology, University College, Galway, Ireland Abstrart: A K-feldspar breccia, spatially associated with the MO-Cu mineralization of a stockwork in the Late Caledonian Galway Granite at Mace Head, is described for the first time. Detailed mapping reveals a network of breccia pods and veins over an area of approximately 6000 m’. The breccia is clast-supportedand is composed of sub-angular fragments of perthiticK-feldspar megacrysts (<10cm), granite and microgranodiorite clasts (<25 m) set in a matrix of quartz (<l cm), biotite (<5 cm) and apatite (<3 mm). Field and textural studies indicated that the feldspar megacrysts and granite clasts were brecciated and silicified as they were carried (to the present structural level) by hydrous K- and Si0,-rich fluids. The residue of these fluids crystallized to form the breccia matrix. The formation of the breccia predates the mineralized quartz veins of the MO-Cu stockwork. It is concluded that the breccia formation is genetically related to ore-forming processes in the Galway Granite. Breccia lithologies with a wide spectrum of characteristics of the batholith.

The samples are mostly spinel harzburgites with highly forsteritic olivinesŽ. Fo87± 94 , average Fo 92.7 . This, together with unusually high modal olivine contentsŽ. 70±)95% , places the Wiedemann harzburgites in a unique compositional field. Relative to depleted Kaapvaal harzburgites with comparable Fo in olivine, the Wiedemann samples have considerably lower bulk SiO2 Ž average 42.6 wt% versus 44±49 wt%. Spinel compositions are similar to those in other sub-cratonic harzburgites. Pyroxene equilibrium temperatures average 8508C, which is above an Archaean cratonic geotherm at an inferred pressure of 1±2 GPa, but low enough so that it is unlikely that the xenoliths represent residual peridotites created during Tertiary magmatism. Among mantle samples, the Wiedemann harzburgites are, in terms of their bulk composition, most similar to harzburgites from the ophiolites of Papua New GuineaŽ. PNG and New Caledonia Ž.

The Chadobets lamprophyres are related to the REE-bearing Chuktukon carbonatites. On the basis of their morphology, mineralogy and relation with the surrounding groundmass, we distinguish three types of ocelli: carbonate-silicate, containing carbonate, scapolite, sodalite, potassium feldspar, albite, apatite and minor quartz ocelli (K-Na-CSO); carbonate–silicate ocelli, containing natrolite and sodalite (Na-CSO); and silicate-carbonate, con- taining potassium feldspar and phlogopite (K-SCO).
