Abstract:
The earliest (N-S to NE-SW striking) dykes and pillow lavas of the Lower Ordovician Gulfjellet Ophiolite Complex are dominated by N-MORB to IAT-types affinities, the IAT-type seems to become more abundant with time. This development is thought to reflect spreading-related magmatism is a 'supra-subduction' zone environment. Boninitic magmatism, represented by dominantly NE-SW to E-W trending dykes, post-dates the N-MORB and IAT, and suggests formation in a fore-arc setting. The occurr- ence of a few MORB-type dykes cutting boninite dykes may indicate formation of new oceanic crust, possibly associated with arc splitting. The rare occur- rence of post-MORB calc-alkalice magmatic activity may indicate a maturing stage of arc magmatic activity.
