Cover Story: The Dinaridic Ozren ophiolite complex in Bosnia and Herzegovina contains troctolites replacing dunite layers in harzburgite. Troctolite is crosscut by doleritic and plagioclase(Pl)-rich dykes and veins. The secondary Pl enrichment of dunite (relic black pods) reflets a Pl-clinopyroxene(Cpx) melt impregnation of dunite. Microscopic and back-scattered-electron images from troctolite document newly formed plagioclase Pl and Cpx enclosing olivine (Ol) and spinel (Spl) of dunite. The secondary phases are amphibole (Amp), phlogopite (Phl), albite (Ab) and strontianite (Str). The percolating melt was likely formed by decompression and partial melting of a refractory peridotite in the asthenosphere and via a reaction of this melt with peridotite at the base of the thinning thermal lithosphere.
