Daniel,
Try the following references on the ophiolite suites of Greece and Turkey, which are incorporated in the Alpine nappe stack. Especially the Othis, Pindos and Vourinos ophiolites are well-studied, highly deformed and highly serpentinised.
Robertson, A.H.F., (2002). Overview of the genesis and emplacement of Mesozoic ophiolites in the Eastern Mediterranean Tethyan region. Lithos, 65: 1-67.
Robertson, A., (2004). Development of concepts concerning the genesis and emplacement of Tethyan ophiolites in the Eastern Mediterranean and Oman regions. Earth Science Reviews, 66: 331-387.
Ross, J.V. and Zimmerman, J., (1996). Comparison of evolution and tectonic significance of the Pindos and Vourinos ophiolite suites, northern Greece. Tectonophysics, 256: 1-15.
Those papers and their references may help you further

Onderwerp: Serpentinite in fold and thrust belts
Hi all:
I have been looking for references on fold and thrust belts where
serpentinite forms the basement and is involved in the deformation
(i.e. thick-skinned). Yet it seems that the references are difficult to
find. Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daniel
