Genetic Link between Podiform Chromitites in the Mantle and Stratiform Chromitites in the Crust: A Hypothesis
No genetic link between the two main types of chromitite, stratiform and podiform chromitites, has ever been discussed. These two types of chromitite have very different geological contexts; the stratiform one is a member of layered intrusions, representing fossil magma chambers, in the crust, and t...
