Because they are portions of the ancient oceanic lithosphere, ophiolites present a full stratigraphy of the oceanic crust and part of the earth's upper mantle. The Cyprus Crustal Study Project to investigate the Troodos ophiolite was approved in 1980 and was conceived as an integrated petrological, structural and geophysical study, involving both field mapping and diamond drilling. From 1980-82, field studies were started and drilling begun, continuing until March 1985 at three sites, at which 5 holes were drilled. This report presents a series of papers, with abstracts, on various aspects of the Project, including field relations, lithological description, petrography and mineralogy, geochemistry, paleomagnetic and rock magnetic properties, physical properties and other geophysical data, and a summary, data tables and core log description.

The 32 papers in this volume examine the mode and nature of igneous, metamorphic, tectonic, sedimentological, and biological processes associated with the evolution of oceanic crust in different tectonic settings in Earth history as revealed in various ophiolites and ophiolite belts around the world, and the geodynamic significance of these ophiolites in the evolution of different orogenic systems. Divided into six thematic sections, the book presents a wealth of new data and syntheses from mainly Phanerozoic ophiolites around the world.
