Serpentinization of mantle‐derived peridotites at mid‐ocean ridges: Mesh texture development in the context of tectonic exhumation

Abstract At slow spreading ridges, axial detachment faults exhume mantle‐derived peridotites and hydrothermal alteration causes serpentinization in a domain extending more than 1 km next to the fault. At the microscopic scale, serpentinization progresses from a microfracture network toward the cente...
