摘要：
Three distinctive chromitite occurrences are recognized from the Cambrian mafic-ultramafic Heazlewood River Complex, Tasmania. Type I chromitite represents very thin schlieren comprising Cr-rich spinel and is hosted by primitive, olivine-rich cumulates. Type II chromitite occurs as thicker schlieren containing more aluminous spinel and is hosted by an interlayered sequence of cumulate dunite and peridotite. Type III chromitite is more massive, occurring as irregular stringers, pods, and layers containing chromite having intermediate Cr/Al ratios. All of the chromitites display enrichment in platinum-group elements relative to the cumulate ultramafic sequences. -from Authors
