A sequence of Neoproterozoic ultramafic rocks — serpentinized peridotite, serpentinite, and clinopyroxenite — outcrop in Wadi El-Mireiwa in the south Eastern Desert of Egypt. They represent the mantle and lowermost crustal section of a fragmented ophiolite, emplaced by thrusting above metasedimentary rocks and an island arc assemblage and later intruded by a granite mass. In samples of the serpentinized peridotite, back-scattered electron images of olivine reveal banded zoning, defined by straight and parallel Mg-enriched (Fo ∼ 96) lamellae within typically magnesian host crystals (Fo ∼ 89). The presence of clinopyroxene, the relatively low whole-rock Mg# (∼88), the low NiO content of olivine (0.1–0.32 wt%), and the relatively high TiO2content of fresh Cr-spinel (∼0.3 wt%) are all consistent with a cumulate origin for the serpentinized peridotite and serpentinites. On the other hand, some associated serpentinite has higher whole-rock Mg# (92) and low TiO2in Cr-spinel (∼0.01 wt%), consistent with a residual origin by high-degree melt extraction in the fore-arc region of a supra-subduction zone (SSZ) environment. The formation of Mg-enriched bands in olivine is attributed to the enhancement of metasomatic Mg-Fe exchange with high-Mg/Fe2+fluids along crystallographically-oriented subgrain boundaries produced by high strain-rate dislocation creep. Such high-Mg/Fe2+fluid metasomatism also explains reverse zoning of MgO in Cr-spinel, whereas the low whole-rock concentrations of REE and other trace elements exclude a significant role for melt-rock interaction. The evidence for high-Mg/Fe2+fluid metasomatism in this suite indicates that SSZ fluids and high fore-arc strain rates affect not only the mantle wedge but also overlying ultramafic cumulates. The oxygen fugacity [ΔlogƒO2(FMQ)] values calculated from unmetasomatized (+2.48 to +2.67) and metasomatized (+3.75 to +4.53) samples reflect the oxidized nature of Neoproterozoic SSZ magma and the even more oxidizing character of the metasomatic fluids. Banded zoning has also been recorded in olivine from Mariana fore-arc peridotite and Phanerozoic SSZ ophiolites; the Neoproterozoic Wadi El-Mireiwa case shows that rapid mantle flow has been a persistent feature of the tectonic environment where fore-arc ophiolites develop.
