Serpentine–Hisingerite Solid Solution in Altered Ferroan Peridotite and Olivine Gabbro

Serpentine–Hisingerite Solid Solution in Altered Ferroan Peridotite and Olivine Gabbro

We present microanalyses of secondary phyllosilicates in altered ferroan metaperidotite, containing approximately equal amounts of end-members serpentine ((Mg,Fe2+)3Si2O5(OH)4) and hisingerite (□Fe3+2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O). These analyses suggest that all intermediate compositions can exist sta...
