Platinum‐group mineral and silicate inclusions in the low‐Al chromitites of the Manipur ophiolite, northeast India: Implications on Cr‐PGE mineralization in nascent subduction zone settings

Low‐Al chromitites from the Manipur ophiolite contain a wide range of mineral inclusions, including hydrous and anhydrous silicates, sulphides, and platinum group minerals (PGM). The common inclusions are primary silicates, such as clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene and secondary silicate inclusions, such...

Description
Summary:Low‐Al chromitites from the Manipur ophiolite contain a wide range of mineral inclusions, including hydrous and anhydrous silicates, sulphides, and platinum group minerals (PGM). The common inclusions are primary silicates, such as clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene and secondary silicate inclusions, such as chlorite, serpentine, and garnet. These inclusions are small (
