Specific Internal Structure of Diamonds from Zarnitsa Kimberlite Pipe
The Zarnitsa kimberlite pipe is one of the largest pipes of the Yakutian diamondiferous province. Currently, some limited published data exists on the diamonds from this deposit.

The Kaapvaal craton seismic anisotropy: Petrophysical analyses of upper mantle kimberlite nodules
International audienceA dense network of seismic stations has been deployed on the Kaapvaal craton (South Africa) to investigate the upper mantle seismic structures. In order to bring independent petrophysical constraints, we analyze a direct sampling of

Diamond formation in the deep mantle: the record of mineral inclusions and their distribution in relation to mantle dehydration zones [PDF]
Studies of the inclusions contained in natural diamonds have shown the occurrence of minerals which must have formed at depths below the lithosphere and which may be closely matched with the silicate mineral assemblages determined by high pressure and ...

Geological and Petrographic Characteristics of Kimberlite Pipes
Studies of the geological structure and petrochemical composition of the Siberian Platform kimberlites indicated complexity, diversity of geological, tectonic, and paleogeographic situations, which must be considered for proper prospecting-exploration for diamonds in each area of investigation.

Rapid erosion of the Southern African Plateau as it climbs over a mantle superswell [PDF]
International audienceWe present new sedimentary flux data confirming that a large pulse of erosion affected the Southern African Plateau in the Late Cretaceous and is likely to be related to a major uplift episode of the plateau.

Raman-based geobarometry of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks: applications, problems, and perspectives [PDF]
Raman-based geobarometry has recently become increasingly popular because it is an elegant way to obtain information on peak metamorphic conditions or the entire pressure-temperature-time (P-T-t) path of metamorphic rocks, especially those formed under ...
