Kimberlites represent magmas derived from great mantle depths and are the principal
source of diamonds. Kimberlites and their xenolith cargo have been extremely useful for …

The paper presents a comprehensive review of currently available data on melt inclusions
entrapped in minerals of kimberlites of different age and different provenance in ancient …

The origin of alkali carbonates and chlorides in the groundmass of unaltered Udachnaya-
East kimberlites in Siberia is still controversial. Contrary to existing dogma that the …

An ultrabasic/ultramafic composition of kimberlite magmas is difficult to reconcile with
existing models of the kimberlite mantle source and melting conditions, inferred magma …

Cratonic lithosphere is believed to have been chemically buoyant and mechanically
resistant to destruction over billions of years. Yet the absence of cratonic roots at some …

We report petrological, geochemical and isotopic data for low-Cr and high-Cr suite
megacrysts from the Jericho kimberlite (N. Canada). The megacrysts comprise garnet …

This study of the hypabyssal kimberlite with particularly fresh olivine from the Palaeogene
Koala pipe (Ekati cluster, Slave craton, Canada) is focused on reconstruction of the …

We studied diamonds and barren and diamondiferous eclogite xenoliths from the Jericho
kimberlite (Northern Slave craton). The majority of the diamonds are non-resorbed …

Mineral and fluid inclusions in mantle diamonds provide otherwise inaccessible information
concerning the nature of mantle metasomatism and the role of fluids in the mass transfer of …

Megacrysts are large (cm to> 20 cm in size) mantle-derived crystals, which are commonly
entrained by kimberlite magmas, comprising of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene …
