Ophiolitic rocks located on the north of the Bitlis Zagros Suture Zone provide some regional information about the closure period of the Neotethys and subsequent processes. This study introduces petrographic and geochemical features of ultramafic and mafic rocks, including the Savatlı-Özalp ophiolite in the eastern part of Lake Van. These ultramafic and mafic rocks, which are the part of an incomplete ophiolitic sequence, are tectonically transported to the region. Hydrothermal alteration and low-grade metamorphic effects are intensively observed in these ophiolitic rocks. Petrographically determined serpentine minerals in ultramafic rocks and prehnit and clorite minerals in mafic rocks are the most clear evidence for these alteration and metamorphic effect. Geochemical features of diabase dykes observed in Savatlı-Özalp Ophiolite tectonically indicate a generation from transition zone. Chondrite-normalized REE typically refer to island-arc tholeiite occurred on oceanic subduction zone.
