The ephemeral history of Earth’s youngest supra-subduction zone type ophiolite from Timor

Abstract Ophiolites occur widely in orogenic belts, yet their origins remain controversial. Here we present a modern example with a geodynamic model from Timor, eastern Indonesia, where Earth’s youngest supra-subduction zone (SSZ)-type ophiolitic fragments are exposed.
