Metamorphic gabbro and basalt in ophiolitic and continental nappes of the Zermatt region (Western Alps)
Abstract The composition of meta-gabbro and meta-basalt occurring abundant and widespread in all nappes of the nappe stack exposed in the Zermatt region of the Western Alp shows distinct patterns related to the geodynamic origin of metamorphic basic rocks. Eclogitic meta-basalts of the ophiolitic Ze...
