The Gysian ophiolite of NW Iran is located at the intersection of the ophiolite belts of SE Turkey,NE Iraq,and Iran,and provides the opportunity to investigate the preserved subduction and obduction history of an impo...
The Editor in Chief has retracted this article.After publication,concerns were raised over potentially inconsistent data-for example,the author mentioned residual soil with silt fraction,but Fig.5 shows even the small...
Thanks to detailed field investigations, microstructural and geochemical analysis and relationship with enclosing rocks, microfabrics, magmatic typology and metamorphic evolution of the Kantè sepentinites have been s...
The uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)of intact rock is one of the most important parameters required and determined for rock mechanics studies in engineering projects.The limitations and difficulty of conducting test...
Serpentinized rocks closely associated with Paleoproterozoic eclogitic metabasites were recently discovered at Eseka area in the northwestern edge of the Congo craton in southern Cameroon.Here,we present new field dat...

The term "mélange" has several definitions due to the origin, tectonic and petrographical features. The geotechnical engineering behaviors of mélanges are either dominated by different kinds of intact rock blocks or...

Lichi melange,located in the southern coastal range,eastern Taiwan,China,is a typical tectonic melange of the plate's boundary zone between the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.It formed during the collisio...
Ultra-high pressure(UHP)eclogites that derive from subducted oceanic crust are rarely found at the Earth’s surface because they need to be enclosed in a buoyant host rock such as serpentinites that facilitate exhum...

We present the whole-rock and the mineral chemical data for upper mantle peridotites from the San-Jiang region in Yunnan Province, SW China. These peridotites are part of a Paleo-Tethyan ophiolite belt occurring along...
