Melt-rock Interaction in Neotethys Ophiolitic Peridotites: Textural and Chemical Evidence from Serpentinized Peridotites in NW Iran

The Salmas region in northwestern Iran contains serpentinized peridotites that form part of a Mesozoic ophiolite mélange complex. Based on their mineral assemblages, these peridotites are classified as clinopyroxene-bearing harzburgites. Whole-rock compositions, with oxide contents of MgO 32.59–37.67 wt
