Abstract

The mafic-ultramafic complexes of the Vizcaino Peninsula, Baja California Sur, northwestern Mexico contain chromitite bodies hosted in duniteharzburgite. The platinum-group mineralisation in the chromitites is dominated by Ru-, Os-, and Ir-rich minerals. They include members of the laurite-erlichmanite solid solution series, irarsite and Os-Ir alloys associated with Ni-Cu sulfides, all occurring as inclusions in larger chromite crystals or in fractures across them. The fractionation of PGE in the form of PGM is discussed here in terms of a dynamic environment characterized by the turbulent mixing/mingling of batches of melts with distinct PGE compositions, within dunitic channels formed as a result of mantle-melt reactions.
