Serpentinization and carbonate alteration of ophiolitic peridotites (Eastern Desert, Egypt): Implications for origin and geochemical effect

Abstract

Studied peridotites have subject to a series of serpentinization and carbonation. It was estimated that the peridotites were serpentinized mostly through interaction with magmatic and metamorphic fluides and sbjected to carbonation by magamtic and basaltic oceanic crust carbon.
