To the south, the presence of a relatively recently formed OCC suggests a lower melt supply, whilst the absence of fossil OCCs suggests that this condition may be a relatively recent development. OCCs occur at slow-spreading ridges54 and reflect a melt supply rate that is insufficient to ...

Therefore, we postulate that the Band-e-Zeyarat ophiolite most likely represents an excellent fossil example of a plume-proximal mid-oceanic ridge, which recorded a plume–ridge interaction during an embryonic stage of a mantle plume activity in the Early Cretaceous. In our model, this plume ...
