Archaean and Proterozoic diamond growth from contrasting styles of large-scale magmatism [PDF]
Precise dating of diamond growth is required to understand the interior workings of the early Earth and the deep carbon cycle. Here we report Sm-Nd isotope data from 26 individual garnet inclusions from 26 harzburgitic diamonds from Venetia, South Africa.

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

Komatiites, kimberlites, and boninites [PDF]
When the mantle melts, it produces ultramafic magma if the site of melting is unusually deep, the degree of melting is unusually high, or the source is refractory. For such melting to happen, the source must be unusually hot or very rich in volatiles. Differing conditions produce a spectrum of ultramafic magma types.

Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.

DISTRIBUTION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN PEROVSKITE FROM SKARNS AND CALCITE VEINS OF THE CHERNAYA RECHKA AND NAZYAM RIDGES (SOUTH URALS) [PDF]
Trace element distribution and crystal morphology of perovskite from garnet-vesuvianite skarn of the Akhmatovskaya mine and chlorite-perovskite-calcite veins of the Perovskitovaya mine (South Urals) were studied using LA-ICP-MS.

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