Abyssal peridotites reveal the near-chondritic Fe isotopic composition of the Earth (2013, background): “Seafloor peridotite exposures are relatively common along this segment due to normal faulting that accommodates a significant proportion of the spreading (Dick et al., 2003).”
Hydrothermal vents and the origin of life (2008, background): “A substantial proportion of the exposed sea-floor that is on, and near to, slow- and ultra-slow spreading ridges consists of ultramafic rocks that are similar to those that host the LCH”
Temperature, lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary, and heat flux beneath the Antarctic Plate inferred from seismic velocities (2015, background): “…the processes of formation of oceanic crust are found to be dependent on the spreading rate, especially at ultraslow (≤20mm/yr) spreading ridges [Dick et al., 2003; Lizarralde et al., 2004; Rubin and Sinton, 2007; Standish et al., 2008; Li et al., 2015], suggesting that the lithosphere…”
