- The differences between the ophiolite and Cretaceous arcrelated rocks are shown in Figure 4.
- If this model does survive those tests, it has important implications for the tectonic environment in which the Troodos ophiolite formed.
- These felsic rocks are contemporaneous with or only slightly younger than rocks from the Guevgueli ophiolite.
- The Northland ophiolite crops out at headlands to the east and west of Cooper's Beach on the eastern Northland Peninsula.

adjective

Geology

We agree with Leong that a complex basement composed of both ophiolitic and granitic crust underlies much of Sabah.
Example sentencesExamples
- The ophiolitic material was derived from the Songpan-Ganzi ocean basin.
- We interpret such variations as a result of sediment accumulation in small semi-isolated basins on the ophiolitic basement.
- In addition, the Central Pontides include Late Mesozoic ophiolitic rocks and ‘Neotethyan’ melange.
- The southsouthwestern boundary of the Indus Basin sediments is the shear zone of the Indus suture, with an ophiolitic melange exposed near Chilling.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Greek ophis 'snake' + -lite.
