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 ...

Physical characteristics of kimberlite and basaltic intraplate volcanism and implications of a biased kimberlite record [PDF]
We assess bias in the record of kimberlite volcanism by using newly acquired size data on more than 900 kimberlite bodies from 12 kimberlite fields eroded to depths of between 0 m and >1200 m, and by a comparison with intraplate monogenetic basaltic ...

This study presents the gemological analysis of 25 garnets from Hellenistic and Roman jewellery in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki using mobile Raman spectroscopy and micro‐EDXRF. The garnets are classified into three geochemical clusters, with notable differences in distribution between Thessaloniki and Pydna, suggesting distinct trading ...

Secular Variation in the North American Kimberlite Formation: The Variable Connection to LLSVPs
Abstract Kimberlites are rare and perplexing igneous rocks that may represent the deepest‐sourced melt type extracted from within the Earth's mantle, and their origin may be associated with Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) along the core‐mantle boundary.

Petrography, mineralogy, geochemistry and geochronology of the diamondiferous Drybones Bay kimberlite Pipe and Mud lake kimberlite dyke, Northwest Territories [PDF]
The Drybones Bay and Mud Lake kimberlites are Ordovician kimberlites located in the Slave Geological Province. The Drybones Bay pipe formed by multiple discrete eruptions, producing several texturally distinct phases of kimberlite, including hypabyssal ...

Correlative Tomography for Polymineralic Inclusion Composition in Sublithospheric Diamonds
Abstract Sublithospheric diamonds and their inclusions are the deepest known samples from the Earth's mantle. Typically, the inclusions are trapped as minerals which are only stable in the deep mantle, retrogressing into multiple phases during their uplift. Determining the bulk inclusion composition is difficult but crucially important.

Deformation Controlled Fluid Mass‐Transfer Processes in Ancient Orogens
Abstract Despite abundant empirical evidence, the details of coupled deformation and mass transfer processes within a framework of the crustal architecture of ancient orogens remains enigmatic. Geophysical imaging of the Larder Lake‐Cadillac deformation zone, a well‐endowed crustal‐scale fault system in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield ...

Primary Composition of Kimberlite Melt [PDF]
The compositions (mineralogy, major- and trace-element chemistry of rocks and minerals, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotope systematics) of two kimberlite bodies, the Obnazhennaya pipe and the Velikan dyke from the Kuoika field, Yakutian kimberlite province (YaKP ...

Abstract Major and trace elements, including H2O, were determined in garnet and clinopyroxene to constrain the evolution of mantle xenoliths from Diavik, Canada. The 20 samples, derived from 120 to 220 (240) km depth, define a geotherm equivalent to 37 mW/m2 surface heat flow and include three eclogite (A, B, C) and two pyroxenite (B, C) types (A: High
