1 The magnesite originated from the peridotite by weathering.

2 Peridotite has undergone strong serpentinization and was completely replaced by serpentinite, but the pseudomorph of olivine and orthopyroxene still are preserved.

3 The team has shown that the Omani peridotite absorbs tens of thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, far more than anyone had thought.

4 Peridotite occurs in sizable and accessible quantities on every continent except Antarctica, according to Kelemen.

5 Hess mistakenly thought that the oceanic crust consisted of altered peridotite, the material of the mantle itself.

6 The trace elements analysis shows that limburgite is the product of partially melting of mantle peridotite and diagenesis did not undergo the crustal contamination.

7 The chromite deposits in the Muskox Complex occur only in feldspathic peridotite.

8 Serpentinite - is the least altered member of the peridotite suite.

9 This may be up to 50 km thick and comprises ultrabasic peridotite.

10 Below the lithosphere is the rheosphere comprising partly fused peridotite.

11 Thyon volcanic rocks are classified as alkali basalts, with pyroxene megacrysts, and deep-seated mantle xenoliths such as augite and peridotite have been observed in some basaltic layers.

12 This paper reported the result of trace dement composition and distribution at micro area of melt from mantle metasomatism of peridotite in the Shuanggou ophiolite.
