Specific features of kimberlites of Mirny field (Sibirian platform)
Results of comparative complex investigation are provided for diamonds from primary bodies of Mirny kimberlite field, among which three groups are distinguished sharply differing by typomorphic features of crystals, related with three separated in time ...

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 ...

Rare earth element characteristics of pyrope garnets from the Kaavi-Kuopio kimberlites - implications for mantle metasomatism [PDF]
Peridotitic garnet xenocrysts from five kimberlite pipes in the Kaavi-Kuopio area of eastern Finland have been studied using major and trace element geochemistry to obtain information on the stratigraphy, compositional variability and evolutionary ...

Magnetic surface geometry inversion of Kimberlites in Botswana
Abstract Surface geometry inversion of geophysical data has recently been introduced as an effective approach for generating surface‐based geological models. The models obtained through surface geometry inversion clearly delineate the contacts between distinct rock units, making them easily interpretable by geologists.

Kimberlite magmas are volatile-rich, silica-poor ultrabasic magmas originating as small-degree mantle melts at depths of 150 km or greater. Alteration and entrained xenoliths obscure their original magma chemistry and properties.

LITHOLOGY OF KIMBERLITE PIPE ORFICE OF CAMACHIA
Впервые алмазы были открыты в Анголе в 1912 г.. В последующие 40 лет добыча алмазов велась из аллювиальных отложений. К настоящему времени в стране выявлено около 700 кимберлитовых месторождений. Кимберлитовой трубки Камачия введена в эксплуатацию в 2005 году.

Olivine‐hosted secondary melt inclusions in xenoliths from five Kaapvaal craton kimberlites of variable diamond grade do not show difference in composition. The composition of 26 minerals identified in the daughter phases suggests carbonate melt rich in alkali, sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus infiltrated the kimberlite xenoliths.

When a Plateau Suppresses a Plume: Disappearance of the Samoan Plume Under the Ontong Java Plateau
Abstract The Samoan hotspot generated an age‐progressive volcanic track that can be traced back to 24 Ma at Alexa Bank, but the trace of the older portion (>24 Ma) of the hotspot track is unclear. We show that six seamounts located in and around the Magellan Seamount chain—north of the Ontong‐Java Plateau (OJP)—have ages (87–106 Ma), geochemistry, and ...

Crater formation and erosional truncation of Arkhangelskaya kimberlite pipe (Russia)
The Late Devonian kimberlite pipes Arkhangelskaya, Pionerskaya, named after Grib, as well as a number of other pipes, have full sections of crater tufogenic and terrigenous deposits in the Zimneberezhny diamondiferous region, the thickness of which is ...
