CONT

Certains chercheurs ont suggéré [que les chromitites dans les harzburgites tectonisées] puissent constituer des fragments de la séquence à cumulats ayant été incorporés aux harzburgites [...] soit par enfoncement gravitaire d'autolithes denses [...] soit par involution des lits à cumulats présents à la base de la séquence stratifiée [...]

CONT

[...] le gabbro à olivine a une texture hétérogène et contient une abondance d'enclaves syngénétiques et de xénolites de roches métasédimentaires transformées en cornéenne.
