How Thick is the Lithosphere ?
Nature, 1970A rapid decrease in shear velocity in the suboceanic mantle is used to infer the thickness of the lithosphere. It is proposed that new and highly precise group velocity data constrain the solutions and imply a thickness near 70 km.

Diamonds and the African Lithosphere
Science, 1986Data and inferences drawn from studies of diamond inclusions, xenocrysts, and xenoliths in the kimberlites of southern Africa are combined to characterize the structure of that portion of the Kaapvaal craton that lies within the mantle. The craton has a root composed in large part of peridotites that are strongly depleted in basaltic components.

Models of Lithospheric Thinning
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1987Lithospheric thinning denotes a gcodynamieal process that is associated with extensional tectonic phenomena. In plate tectonics the lithosphere is a layer of strength compared with the underlying asthenosphere. Its thick ness is commonly defined by the depth to a particular isothermal or by a fraction of the melting temperature of rocks.

Reviews of Geophysics, 1979
During the last four years, major progress has been made in mapping regional variations in the strength of the lithosphere and in understanding the rheological properties of the upper mantle which are responsible for the plate‐like behavior of the lithosphere.

Radioactivity of the Lithosphere
1962Zahlreiche Bestimmungen des Radioaktivitatsgehaltes der Lithosphare mittels physikalischer und chemischer Mesverfahren, bei denen etwa eine Messung auf 1017 g der zuganglichen Gesteinsphare kommen, liefern im Mittel folgende Werte: Haupttrager der Gesteinsaktivitat sind K40 (Haufigkeit 3 · l0-6g/g*), U238 (etwa 3 · 10-6 g/g) und Th232 (11–13·10-6 g/g).
