#Serpentine minerals: low temperature #lizardite, high temperature #antigorite transport water into the mantle and lubricate the subduction channel; they're why we have subduction and also facilitate the return of some eclogites back up to the surface.
The Gros Morne #ophiolite of western #Newfoundland. Alligator skin motif coincidental. #MinCup23 #EarthSystemScience field trip to Newfoundland, 2022. #McGillUniversity #geology

Soldiers Delight is a serpentine barrens in northern #Maryland. Altered ocean crust, now in part #lizardite, is low in plant nutrients and has a unique ecosystem. Plots were given out in the 1700's because the lack of trees made the land easy to clear. It was also the source of most of the world's chromium in the early 1800's.
A great place for a hike.
