On the problem of transportability of kimberlite minerals relative to their source: The case of pyrope and picroilmenite

Руды и металлы
Data on transportability of kimberlite minerals with increasing distance from their primary source are presented. It is argued that the degree of mechanical processing of kimberlite indicator mineral grains is the most reliable criterion for determining ...

Tracking the Late Jurassic apparent (or true) polar shift in U‐Pb‐dated kimberlites from cratonic North America (Superior Province of Canada)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2015
Different versions of a composite apparent polar wander (APW) path of variably selected global poles assembled and averaged in North American coordinates using plate reconstructions show either a smooth progression or a large (∼30°) gap in mean ...

Kimberlites I: Kimberlites and Related Rocks. Kimberlites II: The Mantle and Crust‐Mantle Relationships [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
These volumes open with a tribute to academician Vladimir Stepanovich Sobolev, who died several days before the opening of the Third International Kimberlite Conference at Clermont Ferrand, France. V.S. Sobolev made major contributions to the field of kimberlite and upper mantle petrology throughout his lifetime and did much to spark the renaissance in

The capacity of hydrous fluids to transport and fractionate incompatible elements and metals within the Earth's mantle

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Both silicate melts and aqueous fluids are thought to play critical roles in the chemical differentiation of the Earth's crust and mantle. Yet their relative effects are poorly constrained. We have addressed this issue by measuring partition coefficients

THE FEATURES OF THE INDICATOR MINERALS OF KIMBERLITES IN A NEW PIPE YANVARSKAJA (WESTERN YAKUTIA)

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017
The first results of the mineral-petrographic studies of microclastes of kimberlites from the basal horizon of the Upper Paleozoic deposits of the Alakit-Markhinsky kimberlite field (Western Yakutia) have been presented.

Comparative Study of the Kimberlites of Bakwanga (North Group) and Bakwa-Kalonji (South Group) In East Kasai, Democratic Republic of Congo.

Analecta
The presence of kimberlites in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been known since buttgenbach reported a typical ‘yellow ground’ in Katanga as early as 1908, and prospecting work before and after 1914 had already identified twenty-four pipes in ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Application of IR Fourier microscopy for investigation of kimberlite indicator minerals to search for diamond deposits using heavy-mineral concentrate method

Руды и металлы
Possibilities of the infrared microscopy technique as applied to the express diagnostics of diamond crystals and of grains of most of its satellite minerals, extracted from heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) samples, are considered. An original technique of

Kamafugite Magma Pathways and Lava‐Flow Paleotopography From Three‐Dimensional Audiomagnetotelluric Imaging Constrained by Borehole Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract An audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey was conducted within the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, southeastern Brazil, to delineate shallow occurrences of kamafugite, a rare ultrapotassic volcanic rock worldwide. A dense grid of AMT stations was deployed, allowing the construction of a high‐resolution 3D electrical resistivity model ...

Diamonds, dunites, and metasomatic rocks formed by melt/rock reaction in craton roots

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Reactions of depleted, reduced peridotite with oxidised volatile-rich melts can explain several contentious rock assemblages sampled by kimberlites from the metasomatised zone at the base of the lithosphere, according to high pressure laboratory ...
