Mineralogy of garnets from the Jubileinaya kimberlite pipe and Ottorzhenets kimberlite body
The article presents results of a study of the chemical composition of garnet xenocrystals from a concentrate of the heavy fraction of kimberlites from the Yubileinaya pipe and Ottorzhenets kimberlite body.

Komatiites, kimberlites, and boninites [PDF]
When the mantle melts, it produces ultramafic magma if the site of melting is unusually deep, the degree of melting is unusually high, or the source is refractory. For such melting to happen, the source must be unusually hot or very rich in volatiles. Differing conditions produce a spectrum of ultramafic magma types.

Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.

Material aspects of kimberlite rocks productivity
Most of investigated kimberlite diatremes of the Siberian platform represent multiphase pipes. Each magmatic phase of intrusion, formed inside diatremes, is composed by kimberlites with specific petrographic and petrochemical type possessing a number of ...

Kimberlites I: Kimberlites and Related Rocks. Kimberlites II: The Mantle and Crust‐Mantle Relationships [PDF]
These volumes open with a tribute to academician Vladimir Stepanovich Sobolev, who died several days before the opening of the Third International Kimberlite Conference at Clermont Ferrand, France. V.S. Sobolev made major contributions to the field of kimberlite and upper mantle petrology throughout his lifetime and did much to spark the renaissance in

Abstract We present elemental geochemistry and multiple isotopic systematics (Re‐Os, Lu‐Hf, Sm‐Nd and Sr) for mantle peridotite xenoliths from Lashaine in northern Tanzania. We use the data to examine how the major Proterozoic tectono‐thermal events that affected the crust of the western Tanzanian craton are imprinted on the lithospheric mantle in the ...

Extreme 18O-enrichment in majorite constrains a crustal origin of transition zone diamonds [PDF]
The fate of subducted oceanic lithosphere and its role in the planet-scale geochemical cycle is a key problem in solid Earth studies. Asthenospheric and transition zone minerals included in diamond have been interpreted as representing subducted oceanic ...

Abstract Deep‐origin carbonatite melts are considered to be the products of partial‐melting of the oceanic crust in the subduction zones. In this study, we conducted electrical conductivity (EC) measurements on two samples, the composition of which resemble the partial‐melting products atop the 410‐km discontinuity and in the lower part of the ...
