They consist of gabbros, dolerites and basalts, which were transformed into eclogites or amphibolites during the Alpine metamorphism. Their primary magmas were tholeiitic basalts originated in E-MORB to N-MORB geodynamic conditions. By comparing these metabasites with those of the Betic and Alpine-Apennine Ophiolites and with basalts from current oceanic ridges, we classify them as ophiolitic and tectonically deriving from the oceanic floor of the Jurassic Western Tethys}, keywords = {Betic ophiolites}, keywords = {Sierra del Algarrobo}, keywords = {Mulhacén Complex}, keywords = {Nevadofilábride Domain}, keywords = {Eastern Betic Cordillera}, title = {Caracterización geoquímica y ambiente geodinámico de génesis de las metabasitas de la Sierra del Algarrobo (Cordillera Bética oriental)}, title = {Geochemical characterization and geodynamic setting of the metabasites from Sierra del Algarrobo (eastern Betic Cordillera)}, author = {Puga, Encarnación and Rodríguez Martínez Conde, José Ángel and Díaz de Federico, Antonio and Manteca Martínez, José Ignacio and Díaz Puga, Miguel Ángel}, }
