Short summary
We present a detailed petrographic, microanalytical and bulk-chemical investigation of 36 mafic rocks from drill hole GT3A from the dike–gabbro transition zone. These varitextured gabbros are regarded as the frozen fillings of axial melt lenses. The oxide gabbros could be regarded as frozen melts, whereas the majority of the rocks, comprising olivine-bearing gabbros and gabbros, show a distinct cumulate character. Also, we present a formation scenario for the varitextured gabbros.
