<description lang=en>The Jurassic Mirdita ophiolite crops out in the western branch of the Hellenide-Dinaride ophiolite belt in the Balkan Peninsula; it represents a remnant of the Tethyan oceanic lithosphere developed between the Apulian and Pelagonian microcontinents. Emplaced during the Cretaceous on the western margin of Pelagonia, the Mirdita ophiolite was involved in southwestward thrusting of the Hellenide-Dinaride tectonic units during the Eocene alpine tectonics. It was little affected, however, by these alpine events as marked by nearly horizontal Cretaceous limestone deposits overlying the ophiolite. A continuous section of Middle Jurassic oceanic crust, including thin gabbros, a N-S-trending sheeted dike complex, and extrusive rocks, is exposed in the central part of the ophiolite and thickens eastward within a regional, N-S-trending synform. Peridotite massifs exposed along the western and eastern edges of this synform show major structural and petrological differences. The eastern ultramafic domain has a harzburgitic mantle exhibiting a high-temperature asthenospheric foliation dipping steeply to moderately to the west. Major chromite deposits are restricted to these eastern ultramafic massifs. The western ultramafic domain has a zoned mantle, with asthenospheric harzburgite exposed at its western margin, progressively replaced eastward by plagioclase-peridotites that were highly strained at low temperatures, and that are bounded by amphibole-peridotites along with crustal rocks. The occurrence of plagioclase is ascribed to melt impregnation processes that occurred immediately before or during intense lithospheric deformation. The gabbros in the eastern massifs are thicker (1-2 km and layered, whereas they are highly thin and discontinuous in the western massifs. Mantle peridotites of the western massifs locally are in direct contact with the overlying diabase and volcanic rocks along ductile shear zones. Development of epidote-amphibolite facies metamorphism in upper-crustal rocks was produced by hydrothermal alteration in the oceanic realm, and was intense and widespread in the western domain. The Mirdita ophiolite likely originated in a short-lived, narrow ocean basin, which was closed during the Middle Jurassic by eastward overthrusting of the western domain, and westward subduction of the eastern domain. This constrictional phase was followed by dextral oblique convergence between the Pelagonian and Apulian microcontinents. This model implies a parautochtonous origin of the Mirdita ophiolite between these two microcontinents.</description>
