The optical and chemical characters of litanoclinohumite occurring in the scrpentinised dunites of Salem are described. The association of the mineral with serpentine veins and mobilised veins points to its secondary origin. Temperature of titanoclinohumite formation is estimated around 450-500°C based on indirect approach of olivine-spinel thermometry.

The optical and chemical characters of litanoclinohumite occurring in the scrpentinised dunites of Salem are described. The association of the mineral with serpentine veins and mobilised veins points to its secondary origin. Temperature of titanoclinohumite formation is estimated around 450-500°C based on indirect approach of olivine-spinel thermometry.
