Serpentine minerals from the southern portion of the ultramafic belt of New Caledonia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 July 2018
Summary
Peridotitic rocks in the Massif du Sud, southern New Caledonia, have suffered about 30 % serpentinization. Optical studies combined with X-ray and chemical analyses indicate that chrysotile and lizardite are the dominant serpentine species present. Serpentinization probably occurred during emplacement of the Massifs in their present overthrust position.
