Abstract
Detailed study of the Acoje and the Coto districts (Zambales, Philippines) and comparison with New Caledonia, the Troodos Massif, and other ophiolites. Cr-rich pods are located near the lherzolite-harzburgite transition zone whereas the Al-rich pods are distributed along the harzburgite-dunite transition zone. The chromite pods have probably been generated from different sources during the upwelling of mantle peridotites.--Modified journal abstract.
