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.

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 ...

The formation of ore mineral deposits on the Moon: A feasibility study [PDF]
Most of the ore deposits on Earth are the direct result of formation by hydrothermal solutions. Analogous mineral concentrations do not occur on the Moon, however, because of the absence of water.

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

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 ...

Secular Variation in the North American Kimberlite Formation: The Variable Connection to LLSVPs
Kimberlites are rare and perplexing igneous rocks that may represent the deepest‐sourced melt type extracted from within the Earth's mantle, and their origin may be associated with Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) along the core‐mantle ...
