Description
Summary:Wuwamen ophiolite is located at the southern margin of Middle Tianshan, Xinjiang Province. In this paper, petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry of the ultramafic rocks from Wuwamen ophiolite were studied to constrain their origin and tectonic setting. The studies will be helpful in interpreting the evolution process of the South Tianshan Ocean.
