Fig. 7

a Tremolite-talc-carbonate vein crosscutting olivine-rich country rock, note the serpentinization front (Fig. 2 for position). b Antigorite vein crosscutting an olivine-magnetite vein and the olivine-rich country rock (sample AF2). c Thin section image of b showing the pseudomorphic replacement of antigorite after olivine (sample AF2). d Late carbonate vein formation together with brucite, lizardite/chrysotile and magnetite (sample FA). e Brucite and lizardite/chrysotile veins crosscutting olivine in a shear zone (sample Ol1-2). f Calcite vein crosscutting a large olivine single crystal, note the coincidence of brucite and lizardite/chrysotile, magnetite-rich rims and low Mg# in the olivine in contact (sample Ol46). g Large blades of antigorite included by large olivine2 crystal which is partially replaced with higher Mg# olivine veinlets extending from veins with brucite and lizardite/chrysotile (sample Ol46)
