Recent research has indicated that serpentinite rocks are important markers of the architecture of the ocean crust, providing vital clues to the processes occurring in the Earth's tectonic plates. This advanced text presents the geological history of the serpentinites.
Serpentinites are curious rocks known for the most part as the source of the major form of asbestos, and as ornamental facing stones in architecture. Recent research has shown that these rocks can be important markers of the architecture of the ocean crust, providing vital clues to the processes occurring in the earth''s tectonic plates. This book provides a comprehensive geologic history of these rocks, and all earth scientists will find it of enormous value as a reference resource.
