Polymineralic inclusions in megacrysts as proxies for kimberlite melt evolution—a review
Y Bussweiler - Minerals, 2019 - mdpi.com
Polymineralic inclusions in megacrysts have been reported to occur in kimberlites
worldwide. The inclusions are likely the products of early kimberlite melt (s) which invaded …

Solidus and melting of carbonated phlogopite peridotite at 3–6.5 GPa: Implications for mantle metasomatism
It is well known that water significantly lowers mantle solidi. But it turns out this paradigm is
not always true. Here, we studied the interaction of K-rich carbonate melts with the natural …

Kelyphite around garnet in unaltered lherzolite xenolith from the Udachnaya pipe (Siberian Craton): formation exclusively via interaction with kimberlite melt
Garnet grains in mantle-derived peridotite xenoliths from kimberlites are surrounded by fine-
grained aggregate of epigenetic minerals known as kelyphite. Existing models propose …
