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 …

Olivine is the dominant component in kimberlites (~ 40–60 vol%), where it occurs as
individual grains of variable size (> 1 cm to< 100 μm) of xenocrystic and magmatic origin …

This textbook is a complete rewrite, and expansion of Hugh Rollinson's highly successful
1993 book Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation. Rollinson and …

The flux balances of carbon and chlorine between subduction into the deep mantle and
volcanic emissions into the atmosphere are crucial for the habitability of our planet …

The analysis of micro-inclusions in fibrous diamonds from the Diavik mine, Canada revealed
the presence of high density fluids (HDFs) that span a continuous compositional range …

Olivine is the principal mineral of kimberlite magmas, and is the main contributor to the
ultramafic composition of kimberlite rocks. Olivine is partly or completely altered in common …

Identification of the primary compositions of mantle-derived melts is crucial for
understanding mantle compositions and physical conditions of mantle melting. However …

Abstract LA-ICP-MS U–Pb zircon dating reveals that the Phu Kham adakites in the Truong
Son Belt were emplaced during the Late Carboniferous (ca. 306 to 304 Ma), whereas the …

The generation of the Earth's continental crust modified the composition of the mantle and
provided a stable, buoyant reservoir capable of capturing mantle material and ultimately …

Nanometre-sized isolated inclusions have been studied in four cloudy octahedral diamonds
from the Internatsionalnaya and one from the Yubileynaya mines (Yakutia). Transmission …
