Evolving mantle processes in a MOR–SSZ transition and their role in chromitite formation: A case study from the Qielihu ophiolite (Tibet)

Key Points

• Chromitite formation is significantly influenced by evolving mantle processes in the MOR-SSZ transition.
• Chromitite deposits were studied within the Qielihu ophiolite, offering insights into geological history.
• Observational analysis across the Qielihu ophiolite highlights the interactions between mantle processes and chromitite formation.
• Findings support the idea that understanding mantle activity can inform broader geological evolution theories.
