[edit] Stubbed
Stubbed this because: Need more links on the ophiolite complexes; need some thumbnail maps of the ophiolites as well as images, sections, etc.Rolinator 14:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Note: The article was unstubbed by Bluebot (talk ยท contribs) in August 2006.
- I have now reorganized the article into sections per WP:MOS, and revised it to remove first/second person speech. --Seattle Skier (talk) 18:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mechanisms of formation
The majority of SSZ ophiolites now appear to be regarded as the result of subduction rollback in the literature, in order to produce the local extension regieme in an overall compressive setting. No seperate topic on rollback itself, subduction section is in need of improvement as well, currently working on a new graphic for that one which might be upload in the next couple of weeks. Will try and update the ophiolite formation section once I've got to grips with the wiki style of writing. ClimberDave 13:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image
Is it worth adding another image? I dont think this image below is too great but it better shows the dyke/lava relationship MeanStreets "...Chorizo..." 12:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
