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 ...

Trends in a concentration of selected trace elements in residual soils on four known diamondiferous kimberlite pipes (3, 4, 8 and 9) occurring at Lattavaram within the Wajrakarur Kimberlite Field (WKF) is attempted for the first time.

ABOUT LITHOMINERALOGICAL COMPOSITION OF ANCIENT SEDIMENTARY DIAMONDIFEROUS ROCKS
Litho-mineralogical and structural-formation generation features of Upper Devonian-Carboniferous crusts of weathering on terrigenous-carbonate rocks, kimberlites and deposits enriched by products of their redeposition, have been studied, that allowed ...

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

Abstract The Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) of northern Ontario, a globally significant carbon store, are characterized by expansive peatland complexes of patterned bogs and fens, which play a vital role in regional water regulation. These peatlands are threatened by disturbance from large‐scale resource extraction and projected climate change, both of ...

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Rosário-16 Kimberlite: an inference of P, T, and fO2 for an ultramafic alkaline assemblage in Southern Brazil [PDF]
Rosário-16 (R-16) is a hypabyssal transitional kimberlite, divided into two volcanic pipes, R-16-A and R-16-B, within the Kimberlite Province of Rosário do Sul (KPRS), southeast of the Paraná Basin (PB), southeast Brazil. The saprolite outcrops, within a

Abstract The 369 m deep M4 drill hole, located ~18 km NNW of the center of the 146 Ma Morokweng impact structure (MIS), intersects shocked Archean granitoid gneisses and subsidiary dolerite intrusions that are cut by faults, cataclasites and mm‐ to m‐wide suevitic and pseudotachylitic breccia dikes.

An ion microprobe U-Th-Pb study of zircon xenocrysts from the Lahtojoki kimberlite pipe, eastern Finland [PDF]
Eleven relatively large (diameter 1–2 mm) zircon grains extracted from the Lahtojoki kimberlite pipe (Eastern Finland Kimberlite Province) have been analysed by the ion microprobe NORDSIM for their U- and Pb- isotopic composition.

Abstract The Charity Shoal structure is a circular, ∼1.2‐km‐diameter, bedrock‐rimmed shoal in eastern Lake Ontario with a ∼20‐m‐deep central basin. The structure has been proposed as a possible Middle Ordovician impact crater or volcanic intrusion. We conducted marine seismic and magnetic surveys (9‐km2) and 3‐D geophysical modeling to better resolve ...
