Petrogenesis of the diamondiferous Pipe-8 ultramafic intrusion from the Wajrakarur kimberlite field of Southern India and its relation to the worldwide Mesoproterozoic (~1.1 ​Ga) magmatism of kimberlite and related rocks

Geochemistry, Sr-Nd Isotope Compositions, and U-Pb Chronology of Apatite from Kimberlite in Wafangdian, North China Craton: Constraints on the Late Magmatic Processes

“…Kimberlite magma can carry a large number of mantle xenoliths from the deep Earth and is an important medium for understanding deep geological processes [3,4]. Although abundant research relevant to the petrogenesis and metallogenic processes of kimberlites [5][6][7][8][9][10] has been conducted, the emplacement mechanisms of kimberlites and the role of melts/fluids during later magmatic evolution are still unclear. In addition, the relationship between the emplacement pattern of kimberlite magma and its diamondiferous capacity has received much attention from geologists, and the relationship between the emplacement pattern and magma composition intrigues us, especially the question of whether these factors are affected by the geological environment.…”

Post‐collisional alkaline lamprophyre magmatism in northern Iran: Implications from whole‐rock geochemistry and mineral compositions

“…Ultramafic lamprophyres can be readily distinguished from olivine lamproites and kimberlites by the presence of the primary carbonates and clinopyroxene, respectively (Tappe et al, 2005). In other cases, the distinction between aillikites, kimberlites and orangeites is based on spinel, phlogopite and clinopyroxene mineral compositions (Dongre et al, 2020; Kargin et al, 2021; Tappe et al, 2005). Kimberlite and lamproite are genetically (derived from an enriched mantle source) linked to lamprophyres, so all of them are collectively known as the lamprophyre clan (Rock, 1991).…”
