Summary
The trace element content of a few Swiss ophiolites, radiolarian cherts and marls has been determined by means of spectrographic methods.
Field observations, microscopical and spectrographical data lead to the conclusion that the colour of green cherts in certain areas is due to the supply of clastic peridotite- and serpentine-particles originating from a syn-temporaneous ultrabasic igneous body.
