    Abstract:

    Some small isolated masses of ultramafic lavas have been found in the Upper Pillow Lava of the Troodos ophiolite complex, Cyprus. The ultramafic outcrops described here occur some 13 miles to the south-west of Nicosia, near the village of Margi. Two samples (79-4-2 and 79-4-4) were collected from this area in 1979. In this paper an account is given of their petrography, mineralogy and chemistry. We wish to emphasize some of these rocks are analogues of komatiitic basalts. Our study, although preliminary, shows that there is a remarkable similarity in texture, mineralogy, marjor element and trace element composition of the rocks for comparison with komatiitic basalts.
