Sections were mounted on chrome-alume gelatin coated slides and cover slipped.
The conical mirror was made of polished brass that went through a chrome-plating process to improve the optical quality.
Based on microprobe analyses, the chrome spinel detritus was predominantly supplied from peridotites of mid-ocean ridge as well as suprasubduction zone origin.
Testing the validity of chrome-spinel as a provenance and petrogenetic indicator.
The photographs even convey the effect of the pastel colours that appear as a radiating powdery chrome rather than paint applied to the surfaces.
Therefore, it is justified to suppose an internal source for the chrome spinel-rich heavy mineral association.
The frozen blocks were cut using a cryostat into 14-mm-thick cross sections that were thaw-mounted onto slides coated with chrome-gelatin.
Detrital chrome spinel in the heavy mineral assemblages gives clear evidence for the existence of obducted ophiolite bodies in the source terrain.
