Abstract
Carbonated serpentinites (listvenites) in the Oman Ophiolite record mineralization of several GT of CO2, but the mechanisms providing permeability for continued reactive fluid flow are unclear. Samples of the Oman Drilling Project show that listvenites with a penetrative foliation have abundant microstructures related to crystal growth and indicate that the carbonation reaction occurred during tectonic deformation. Folded magnesite (magnesium carbonate) veins mark the onset of carbonation, followed by deformation during growth of magnesite. Undeformed magnesite overgrowths and euhedral quartz growth zoning indicate that deformation stopped wh... more
