Geochemistry of Waziristan Ophiolite Complex, Pakistan: Implications for Petrogenesis and Tectonic Setting

The Waziristan ophiolite complex (WOC), a segment of paleo-suture zone between the Indo-Pakistan plate to the south-east and the Afghan microplate to the north-west, is primarily composed of serpentinized dunites and serpentinites after harzburgites, crosscut by pyroxenites.
