The Turnagain ultramafic complex is an Alaskan-type complex of possible Late Triassic age. It has a central zone of dunite and an outer zone of wehrlite, olivine clinopyroxenite, clinopyroxenite, dunite, hornblendite (rare), and basic hornblende and plagioclase-bearing rock (rare). ... Olivine is most magnesian ... in the central dunite, and most iron-rich ... in olivine clinopyroxenite. 6, record 1, English, - olivine%20clinopyroxenite

All of the clinopyroxenites may be olivine- and phlogopite-bearing with olivine surrounding pyroxenes. In some variants, termed olivine-clinopyroxenites, olivine is a major component (20-35 volume %) with only minor phlogopite (up to 2.5% ...). Rocks with higher amounts of phlogopite (12-31 volume %) and less than 8 volume % olivine are termed phlogopite-clinopyroxenites ... 7, record 1, English, - olivine%20clinopyroxenite
