Abundance and Partitioning of OH in a High-pressure Magmatic System: Megacrysts from the Monastery Kimberlite, South Africa [PDF]
Concentrations of OH, and major and trace elements were determined in a suite of mantle-derived megacrysts that represent the crystallization products of a kimberlite-like magma at ~5 GPa and ~1400–1100°C.

The transition zone as a host for recycled volatiles: Evidence from nitrogen and carbon isotopes in ultra-deep diamonds from Monastery and Jagersfontein (South Africa) [PDF]
Sublithospheric (ultra-deep) diamonds provide a unique window into the deepest parts of Earth's mantle, which otherwise remain inaccessible. Here, we report the first combined C- and N-isotopic data for diamonds from the Monastery and Jagersfontein ...

Olivine in the Udachnaya-East kimberlite (Yakutia, Russia): types, compositions and origins [PDF]
Olivine is the principal mineral of kimberlite magmas, and is the main contributor to the ultramafic composition of kimberlite rocks. Olivine is partly or completely altered in common kimberlites, and thus unavailable for studies of origin and evolution ...

Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope evidence for a mantle origin of alkali chlorides and carbonates in the Udachnaya kimberlite, Siberia [PDF]
The kimberlite rocks of the Udachnaya-East pipe (Siberia) are uniquely fresh and contain very high abundances of primary volatiles (Cl, CO2, S). Alkali elements and chlorine are extremely abundant in the reconstructed kimberlite melt compositions, and ...

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective [PDF]
In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age.
