Abstract/NotesSummaryPreserved in the deformed peridotites of the Lizard, Cornwall, are relics of intricate primary precipitates of olivine. The mineral compositions of those rocks with an abundance of primary relics are typical of the primary assemblage Lizard peridotite. In detail the olivine primary structures resemble, but are not identical to, the crescumulates described from various layered ultrabasic intrusions. The available evidence shows distinctive specific features in the Lizard crescumulates in the scale and morphology of the structures and in the conditions of growth.
