Volume increase serpentinization in Archaean quench texture ultramafic rocks near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
Textural and chemical data on altered ‘spinifex’ (i.e. quench texture) ultramafic rocks from Corsair, near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, have indicated that serpentinisation of contained olivine phenocrysts involved a volume increase of some 60%, due to the addition of both SiO2 and H2O.
