Mesozoic ophiolite and blue amphibole on Timor and the dispersal of eastern Gondwanaland

Auteur :
EARLE, M. M.

Description :
A dismembered metamorphosed ophiolite on Timor is connected with Jurassic rifting of Australia's northwestern margin. The rift developed into an ocean basin which carried a microcontinental block northwards. During the middle to late Cretaceous the block accreted to south-east Asia and experienced a low grade metamorphism which generated crossitic amphibole.
