...Laura Bracciali; Gianfranco Di Vincenzo; Sergio Rocchi; Claudio Ghezzo Abstract: The Tiger Gabbro layered intrusion is one of the few mafic intrusive bodies found along the ancient Antarctic Gondwana margin. Major and trace element data and Sr–Nd isotope compositions for gabbronorites indicate...

... the four deposits. These are (1) PGE-poor disseminated sulfides; (2) PGE-rich disseminated sulfides; and (3) semimassive to massive sulfides. The PGE-poor disseminated sulfides typically occur within the lower 250 m of the intrusion and are hosted mainly by heterogeneous norite and olivine gabbro, both...
