XENOLITHS OF POLYMICTIC BRECCIAS FROM KIMBERLITES OF THE YAKUTIAN DIAMONDIFEROUS PROVINCE

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2022
The polymictic breccias, extremely rare mantle conglomerates being the fragments of rocks and large mantle minerals cemented with fine-grained mass have been long provoking interest of petrologists worldwide.

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

Comparative characteristics of indicator minerals of kimberlites and new perspectives diamond of the Ygyatta diamondiferous region (Western Yakutia)

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2019
The new data on the composition of kimberlite indicator minerals (KIM) — pyropes and picroilmenites — of the first kimberlite body T-54-14, opened in 2015 in the Syuldyukar kimberlite field by the geologists of ALROSA PJSC, during the verification of the

Kimberlite ascent and eruption [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2007
Wilson and Head model kimberlite ascent and eruption by considering the propagation of a volatile-rich dyke. Wilson and Head's model has features in common with Sparks et al., but it is inconsistent with geological observations and constraints on volatile solubility. Here we show that this may be due to erroneous physical assumptions.

Incipient stages of transformation of round natural diamonds under dissolution in Fe-S melt at high pressure

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2020
Research subject. The article presents the results of a microscopic and photogoniometric study of natural rounded diamonds of tetraghexahedral habit from the kimberlite pipe “Internationalnaya” (Yakutia). The diamonds was partially dissolved in a sulphur-

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age.

Mathematical methods of search for diamond-bearing areas and kimberlite fields in closed territories

open access: yesМінеральні ресурси України, 2018
Based on the analysis of the interrelationships between real kimberlite fields and the location of kimberlite tubes of the world, a structural and mathematical method for the search for diamond-bearing regions and kimberlite fields is proposed.

Internal vs. external forcing in shallow marine diatreme formation: a case study from the Iblean Mountains (SE-Siciliy, Central Mediterranean) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A model of diatreme evolution in a shallow marine setting is based on a multi-disciplinary analysis of diatremes in the Iblean Mountains (Sicily). The approach includes stratigraphic, volcanological, structural, petrologic and compositional data.

Cation Exchange in Smectites as a New Approach to Mineral Carbonation

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2022
Mineral carbonation of alkaline mine residues is a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy that can be employed by the mining industry. Here, we describe the mineralogy and reactivity of processed kimberlites and kimberlite ore from Venetia (South Africa ...

Tunguska Dark Matter Ball

open access: yes, 2015
It is suggested that the Tunguska event in June 1908 cm-large was due to a cm-large ball of a condensate of bound states of 6 top and 6 anti-top quarks containing highly compressed ordinary matter. Such balls are supposed to make up the dark matter as we
