Examples

“The magnesian carbonatation is ulterior to the serpentinization, asbestization and steatization.”

“In view⟳ of the likely meteoric origin of the asbestizing solutions and the progressive character of the asbestization, it would appear⟳ best to interpret⟳ the relationship of economic chrysotile deposits to geological events around dunite-harzburgite intrusions (gabbro or granite injection, vertical or horizontal replacement of the bodies, and so) as related to activation of hydrothermal solutions of meteoric origin.”

“[…]penetrated the interiors of the ultramafite rocks through numerous smaller cracks and fissures and acted as the cause of allometamorphic serpentinization and asbestization.[…]The formation of chrysotile-asbestos deposits without the corresponding process⟳ of serpentinization is impossible, and chrysotile-asbestization represents one of the stages of the hydrothermal metamorphic process⟳ of ultramafites.”
