Podiform deposits are irregular but fundamentally lenticular chromite-rich bodies that occur within Alpine peridotite or ophiolite complexes. 1, record 1, English, - podiform%20chromite%20deposit
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The Alpine peridotite or ophiolitic affiliation is an essential part of the latter definition: this has led to some confusion because some deformed stratiform deposits have morphological similarities to podiform deposits. 1, record 1, English, - podiform%20chromite%20deposit

Les gîtes podiformes de chromite ont été définis par Thayer (1964) comme des amas riches en chromite de forme irrégulière mais essentiellement lenticulaire qui sont encaissés dans des complexes ophiolitiques ou des péridotites de type alpin. 1, record 1, French, - gisement%20podiforme%20de%20chromite

Les gîtes podiformes sont des amas riches en chromite, de forme irrégulière mais essentiellement lenticulaire, situés au sein de complexes ophiolitiques ou de péridotites de type alpin. 1, record 1, French, - gisement%20podiforme%20de%20chromite
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'association à des péridotites de type alpin ou à des complexes ophiolitiques constitue un élément essentiel de la définition des gîtes podiformes et doit être reconnue pour éviter toute confusion, car certains gîtes stratiformes déformés ressemblent par leur morphologie aux gîtes podiformes. 1, record 1, French, - gisement%20podiforme%20de%20chromite
