Strongly serpentinized peridotites occur at shallow crustal levels at DSDP Sites 556 (35-Ma-old crust), 558 (35-Maold crust), and 560 (12-Ma-old crust) in the North Atlantic. Primary peridotite silicate minerals are preserved only at Sites 556 and 558, but all three sites have primary spinel preserv...
