T14. Origin and significance of ultramafic bodies in suture zones from the Appalachian and beyond
Convenors: Celine Martin (cmart175@uncc.edu), Christopher Bailey (cmbail@wm.edu)
Ultramafic rock bodies are found in suture zones of Cenozoic to Precambrian age, but their tectonic origin is still enigmatic. This session is intended to highlight new research focused on the petrogenesis and tectonic history of ultramafic units from the Appalachians and other orogens.
