massive serpentinites, probably derived from dunites


Explanation:
That's it - I was wondering what the massive facies "in" the serpenitinites meant. Now I get it - it's the facies of the serpentinite that are massive!

Massive meaning here, something like "thick and without internal structures or laminations".
