Direct evidence of present-day serpentinization in the Jimberlana Intrusion, Western Australia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
Four vertical holes drilled into the olivine cumulates of the Jimberlana Intrusion all show a decrease in serpentinization with depth, suggesting that serpentinization can be a low temperature, present-day process.
