Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Secular Variation in the North American Kimberlite Formation: The Variable Connection to LLSVPs
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsKimberlites 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 ...

Alkaline lamprophyres from the Sokli complex, northern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1978 Alkaline lamprophyric dykes in the Sokli carbonatite complex closely resemble kimberlites in mineralogical and chemical composition. Mineralogically, they differ from kimberlites by the presence of high-manganese ilmenite and richterite, and the absence ...

Аbout use of ancient weathering crusts formation during diamond-prospecting works
Мінеральні ресурси України, 2021 Complex research of Late Devonian – Early Carboniferous and Middle-Late Triassic weathering crusts on various rocks (terrigenous-carbonate formations, dolerites, tuffs, tuffaceous formations and kimberlites) indicated that in conditions of warm and humid

The Relationship Between Kimberlitic Magmatism and Electrical Conductivity Anomalies in the Mantle
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Kimberlites are igneous rocks whose formation remains enigmatic due to their severely altered nature, highly variable compositions and rapid ascent through the lithosphere.

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]
, 2004 Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist

Sulfur Isotope Constraints on the Petrogenesis of the Kimberley Kimberlites
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Cretaceous kimberlites in southern Africa have been suggested to host deeply subducted material in their mantle sources based on radiogenic isotope systematics. However, potential subducted material contributions to the volatile budget, including sulfur,
