Ophiolite - distinctive assemblage of mafic plus ultramafic rocks, generally considered to be

fragments of oceanic lithosphere that have been tectonically emplaced onto continental margins
and island arcs. They are distributed all across the world being all of them located at present or
past orogenic belts, sites of mountain building processes.
Ophiolite Sequence (top down)

Marine sedimentary rocks such as chert, limestone, and rock formed from pelagic
clay. This top layer is often not counted as being part of the ophiolite, since this term

is usually reserved just for the igneous rocks involved.


Basalt, which is by definition an extrusive rock; often in the form of pillow basalt,

which the reader should remember is only formed underwater.


A sheeted dike complex: dikes which do not (as they usually do) intrude into some

other rock, but which rather stand side by side rather like books on a shelf.
Gabbro, which you should remember is the intrusive counterpart of basalt.
Ultramafic rocks.
