Strong Physical Contrasts Across Two Mid‐Lithosphere Discontinuities Beneath the Northwestern United States: Evidence for Cratonic Mantle Metasomatism [PDF]
AGU Advances, 2023 Mid‐lithosphere discontinuities are seismic interfaces likely located within the lithospheric mantle of stable cratons, which typically represent velocities decreasing with depth.

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective [PDF]
, 2011 In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age.

Archaean and Proterozoic diamond growth from contrasting styles of large-scale magmatism [PDF]
, 2017 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.
