Abstract: | A systematic search for evidence of high-temperature hydrousalteration within the gabbros of the Samail ophiolite (Oman)shows that most of the gabbros have been affected by successivestages of alteration, starting above 975°C and ending below500°C. Sr and O isotopic analyses provide constraints onthe nature and origin of the fluids associated with these alterationevents. Massive gabbros, dykes and veins and their associatedminerals depart from mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)-source magmasignatures (87Sr/86Sr >0·7032 and depleted |
