Distribution Characteristics of Platinum-Group Elements in the Daba-Xiugugabu Ophiolite Zone,
Platinum-Group Element (PGE) contents and distribution patterns of different mantle peridotites from ophiolite masses (blocks) are to some extent different. Relative to things of the primitive mantle, PGE in Langcuo and Dongpo masses don’ t show distinct anomalies. The curves of primitive mantle-normalized distribution patterns are approximately even, and there exists no strong fractionation between PPGE and IPGE. These characteristics are similar to those of chromitite in ophiolites from China’ s Luobusha, Greece, Yugoslavia, Cyprus and some other regions in the world. PGE contents of chromitite are not related to base metal sulfides (BMS) contents in the same samples. PGE don’t mainly exist in BMS.
