1824 H. T. De la Beche tr. A. Brongniart Table Classif. Mixed Rocks in Sel. Geol. Mem. p. xiii Ophiolite. A paste of serpentine enveloping disseminated oxidulated iron and other accessory minerals.

1862 J. D. Dana Elem. Geol. viii. 82 Ophiolite (or verd-antique marble). A variegated mixture of serpentine and either carbonate of lime (calcareous ophiolite), dolomite (dolomitic ophiolite), or carbonate of magnesia or magnesite (magnesitic ophiolite).

2. Geology. Any of a group of basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks, including serpentinite and serpentinized peridotite, gabbro, and diabase, which are thought to have been formed as a result of the submarine eruption of oceanic crustal and upper mantle material.

1937 A. L. Du Toit Our Wandering Continents viii. 168 There is a wide development in Morocco, Spain and the Alpine region of the so-called greenstones or ‘ophiolites’.

1951 M. L. Wolf Dict. Arts 481/1 The word ophiolite is employed by some authorities in describing the entire classification of all serpentines.

1972 Sci. Amer. May 66/3 The Ural and Appalachian-Caledonian mountain belts..have narrow zones where ophiolites are found.

1993 Jrnl. Petrol. 34 682 The picritic and tholeiitic rocks are geochemically similar to typical ocean-floor rocks and they represent in situ equivalents of ‘classic’ obducted ophiolites.

B. adj.

Geology. Designating a complex of ophiolites, pillow lava, and radiolarian chert occurring in a characteristic pattern of layers in the Alps and elsewhere.
