Add to ORKGPlatinum and palladium have been detected in sulfide-bearing gabbros from the classic Troodos ophiolite com-plex of Cyprus, Concentrations of the platinum-group ele-ments (PGE) in the Troodos gabbros give positively slop-ing chondrite-normalized pattems. Os, Ir and Ru are removed from the magma at an early stage, with chromi-tites, which have a negatively sloping chondrite-normalized pattern. Pt and Pd are fractionated to higher levels within the magma chamber, and are concentrated at the base of the gabbros, but they also occur at higher stratigraphic levels in the gabbros. The PGE in fresher gabbros retain their magmatic chondrite-normalized patterns, though located in secondary platinum arsenide and palladium antimonide associated with a...
