One petrological approach to upper mantle studies is to determine which ultramafic rocks represent mantle material. Ultramafic rocks occur in a variety of field and petrographic associations: in recent reviews, Wyllie [1967b, 1968] outlined eleven ...

Internal vs. external forcing in shallow marine diatreme formation: a case study from the Iblean Mountains (SE-Siciliy, Central Mediterranean) [PDF]
A model of diatreme evolution in a shallow marine setting is based on a multi-disciplinary analysis of diatremes in the Iblean Mountains (Sicily). The approach includes stratigraphic, volcanological, structural, petrologic and compositional data.

Hotspots and the evolution of the mantle [PDF]
Trace element patterns show that continental and ocean island basalts are complementary to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). The relative sizes of the two source regions can be estimated from enrichment/depletion patterns.

Mapping curie point depth of the west African Craton from satellite magnetic data and its implication for diamond exploration [PDF]
The main objective of this work is to map the Curie depth of the West African Craton (WAC) using satellite magnetic data with the aim to provide first order evaluation, within this vast territory, for the spatial association between Curie-depth surface ...

The garnets in the kimberlites of the Wafangdian diamond mining area from Liaoning province have previously been identified as pyrope. In order to define the types of the complicated color garnets in Wafangdian, a systematic sampling and analysis of the ...

About primary diamondiferousness of ancient platforms
As a result of carried out research and summary of the materials on specific features of diamonds, on the example of the Siberian platform, conclusions were made that indications exist at all levels of their location: from kimberlite – provinces, sub ...

Thermal and mechanical structure of the upper mantle: A comparison between continental and oceanic models [PDF]
Temperature, velocity, and viscosity profiles for coupled thermal and mechanical models of the upper mantle beneath continental shields and old ocean basins show that under the continents, both tectonic plates and the asthenosphere, are thicker than they
