The Zambales Ophiolite Complex (also called Zambales Ophiolite) is a large, well-preserved exposure of oceanic crust located in the western portion of Luzon Island, Philippines.[1] It is considered one of the best-preserved and most studied ophiolites, offering valuable insights into the formation and evolution of oceanic crust and the processes involved in plate tectonics.
