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 ...

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.

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.

Combustion and Pyrolysis EA‐IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ2H of Diamonds
ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.

Conceptual diagram of hydrological and geochemical processes within the Santa Elena Ophiolite, Costa Rica. It highlights watershed cross‐sections, soil genesis, hyperalkaline Type II waters (pH > 11.6) with calcite crust and trapped H2/CH4 gases, seepage into surface waters, storm‐impacted stream profiles, weathered vs.

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.
