Titanoclinohumite: A possible mineralogical site for water in the upper mantle [PDF]
Titanium-rich clinohumite and layered structure minerals are observed in kimberlite and as inclusions in pyropic garnets from the Moses Rock dike, a kimberlite-bearing breccia dike in San Juan County, Utah.

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

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 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 ...

Platinum-group element contents of Karelian kimberlites: implications for the PGE budget of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle [PDF]
We present high-precision isotope dilution data for Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd and Re in Group I and Group II kimberlites from the Karelian craton, as well as 2 samples of the Premier Group I kimberlite pipe from the Kaapvaal craton. The samples have, on average,

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.
