Typical ophiolite sequences are comprised of a thin layer of deep-sea sediments, overlying a sequence of basaltic pillow lavas, sheeted dike complexes, foliated to layered gabbro, and finally an ultramafic complex, which can have an exposed thickness of up to 7 km. This ultramafic section of ophiolite sequences can vary in composition; however, it is most commonly dominated by varieties of peridotite typically associated with the mantle such as harzburgite(olivine and orthopyroxene rich), and lherzolite(olivine, ortho-and clinopyroxene rich), with secondary wehrlite(clinopyroxene and olivine rich) and dunite(olivine rich)...  2, record 2, English, - ultramafic%20complex

Les participants à la conférence de Penrose en 1972 [...] ont défini le terme «ophiolite» comme étant un assemblage distinctif de roches mafiques à ultramafiques qui comprend, de haut en bas 1) un complexe ultramafique consistant en proportion variable d'harzburgite, de lherzolite et de dunite ayant habituellement une fabrique tectonique, 2) un complexe gabbroïque à texture de cumulats [...], 3) un complexe de dykes, 4) un complexe de roches volcaniques généralement en coussin.  2, record 2, French, - complexe%20ultramafique

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)....

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 3, English, - olivine%20clinopyroxenite

Le complexe ultramafique Turnagain est un complexe de type «alaskan» d'âge triassique supérieur possible. Il est formé d'une zone centrale de dunite et d'une zone extérieure de wehrlite, clinopyroxénite à olivine, clinopyroxénite, dunite, hornblendite (rare), et d'une roche basique à plagioclase et hornblende (rare).
