ABSTRACT

Chromite deposits are common in the Denizli region, the Southwestern Anatolia. Chemical and mineralogical studies have shown that these deposits are the of the Alpine-type, and the Acoje-type podiform chromites. They have primary relations with the host harzburgite with a thin dunite cover around chromite bodies, which suggests that a wall rock and melt interaction played an important role in the formation of chromite ores.
