2018 do Couto Tokashiki, C. Babinski, M., McGee, B., do Couto Tokashiki, C., Tassinari, C.C.G., Souza Saes, G., Cavalante Pinho, F.E. Comparing two arms of an orogenic belt during Gondwana amalgamation: age and provenance of Cuiaba Group, northern Paraguay, Brazil. South American Earth Sciences, Vol. 85, pp. 6-42. South America, Brazil geochronology
Abstract: The Cuiabá Group is the basal part of the sequence of passive margin sediments that unconformably overly the Amazonian Craton in central Brazil. Despite these rock's importance in understanding Brazil's path in the supercontinent cycle from Rodinia to Gondwana and their potential record of catastrophic glaciation their internal stratigraphy and relationship to other units is still poorly understood. The timing of deposition and source areas for the subunits of the Cuiabá Group sedimentary rocks are investigated here using integrated U-Pb and Sm-Nd isotope data. We sampled in the northern Paraguay Belt, a range that developed in response to the collision between the Amazonian Craton, the Rio Apa Block, the São Francisco Craton and the Paranapanema Block. 1125 detrital zircon LA-ICPMS U-Pb ages were calculated and 22 whole rock samples were used for Sm-Nd isotope analysis. The U-Pb ages range between Archean and Neoproterozoic and the main source is the Sunsás Province. Moving up stratigraphy there is a subtle increase in slightly younger detritus with the youngest grain showing an age of 652?±?5 Ma, found at the top of the sequence. The age spectra are similar across each of the sampled units and when combined with the Sm-Nd data, indicate that the source of the detritus was mostly similar throughout deposition. This is consistent with the analysis here that indicates sedimentation occurred in a passive margin environment on the southern margin of the Amazonian Craton. The maximum depositional age of 652?±?5 Ma along with the age of the overlying cap carbonate of the Mirassol d'Oeste Formation suggests that part of this section of sediments were deposited in the purportedly global ~636 Ma Marinoan glaciation, although we give no sedimentological evidence for glaciation in the study area. Compared to the southern Paraguay Belt where no direct age constraints exist, the glacial epoch could be either Cryogenian or Ediacaran. In addition, available data in the literature indicates a diachronous evolution between the northern and southern arms of the Paraguay Belt in the final stages of deposition and deformation.
2017 Doallo, R. Deibe, D., Amor, M., Doallo, R., Miranda, M., Cordero, M. GVLiDAR: an interactive web-based visualization frameowrk to support geospatial measures on lidar data. International Journal of Remote Sensing, Vol. 38, 3, pp. 827-849. Technology LIDAR
Abstract: In recent years lidar technology has experienced a noticeable increase in its relevance and usage in a number of scientific fields. Therefore, software capable of handling lidar data becomes a key point in those fields. In this article, we present GPU-based viewer lidar (GVLiDAR), a novel web framework for visualization and geospatial measurement of lidar data point sets. The design of the framework is focused on achieving three key objectives: performance in terms of real-time interaction, functionality, and online availability for the lidar datasets. All lidar files are pre-processed and stored in a lossless data structure, which minimizes transfer requirements and offers an on-demand lidar data web framework.

Abstract: We present data on different aspects of geology, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of diamond-bearing metamorphic rocks of the Kumdy-Kol terrane, which show the similarity of their protolith to the sedimentary rocks of the Kokchetav microcontinent. The structural location of the studied objects in the accretion-collision zone evidences that the subduction of the Kokchetav microcontinent beneath the Vendian-Cambrian Ishim-Selety island arc is the main mechanism of transport of graphite-bearing terrigenous-carbonate rocks to zones of their transformation into diamond-bearing metamorphic rocks. The sedimentary rocks of the Kokchetav microcontinent, which are enriched in graphite and iron sulfides and carbonates, contain all components necessary for diamond crystallization in deep-seated subduction zone. This is in agreement with the experimental data and the compositions of fluid-melt inclusions in the minerals of diamond-bearing rocks.

Abstract: The Hadean and Archean geologic history of the Earth is discussed in the context of available knowledge from different sources: space physics and comparative planetology; isotope geochronology; geology and petrology of Archean greenstone belts (GB) and tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) complexes; and geodynamic modeling review to analyse plate-tectonic, plume activity, and impact processes. Correlation between the age peaks of terrestrial Hadean-Early Archean zircons and late heavy bombardment events on the Moon, as well as the Hf isotope composition of zircons indicating their mostly mafic sources, hint to an important role of impact processes in the Earth's history between 4.4 and 3.8 Ga. The earliest continental crust (TTG complexes) formed at 4.2 Ga (Acasta gneisses), while its large-scale recycling left imprint in Hf isotope signatures after 3.75 Ga. The associations and geochemistry of rocks suggest that Archean greenstone belts formed in settings of rifting, ocean floor spreading, subduction, and plume magmatism generally similar to the present respective processes. The Archean history differed in the greater extent of rocks derived from mantle plumes (komatiites and basalts), boninites, and adakites as well as in shorter subduction cycles recorded in alternation of typical calc-alkaline andesite-dacite-rhyolite and adakite series that were generated in a hotter mantle with more turbulent convection and unsteady subduction. The Archean is interpreted as a transient period of small plate tectonics.
2015 Dobretsov, N.L. Dobretsov, N.L. Periodicity and driving forces of volcanism. Russian Geology and Geophysics, Vol. 56, pp. 1663-1670. Global, Japan Mantle plume
Abstract: The volume and style of volcanism change periodically, with cycles of three main scales, which have different causes and effects. Short cycles of volcanic activity last from tens to thousands of years and are associated with periodic accumulation of magma in shallow chambers and its subsequent eruptions. The eruptions either have internal causes or are triggered externally by variations in solar activity, tidal friction, and Earth's rotation speed. Medium-scale cycles, hundreds of thousands to millions of years long, are due to changes in spreading and subduction rates. Long cycles (30–120 Ma) are related to ascent of mantle plumes, which take away material and heat from the core-mantle boundary and change the convection rate. These appear to be the major controls of the average periodicity. Acceleration of asthenospheric convection caused by periodic plume activity pulses can change spreading rates and, correspondingly, the relative positions of moving plates. The medium-scale periodicity of volcanism is illustrated by the examples of Kamchatka and Japan, where the intensity of subduction magmatism changes periodically in response to the opening of back-arc basins (Shikoku, Sea of Japan, and South Kurile basin).

Abstract: Carbonates of the Tomtor complex of ultramafic alkaline rocks and carbonatites (the northern part of the Republic of Sakha Yakutia) are distinguished by a wide range of carbon isotopic composition d13C from +2 to -59.9‰. The geological position, localization patterns, mineral and chemical compositions and the relationship with REE mineralization of samples with values of d13C carbonates from -25 to -59‰ are characterized. The formation of abnormally low d13C in carbonates is determined by the biogenic oxidation of methane from d13Cmet to -70‰.

Moissanite ( SiC) with metal silicide and silicon inclusions from tuff of Israel: raman spectroscopy and electron microscope studies. Lithos, in press available 58p. Europe, Israel moissanite
Abstract: Here, we present studies of natural SiC that occurs in situ in tuff related to the Miocene alkaline basalt formation deposited in northern part of Israel. Raman spectroscopy, SEM and FIB-assisted TEM studies revealed that SiC is primarily hexagonal polytypes 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC, and that the 4H-SiC polytype is the predominant phase. Both SiC polytypes contain crystalline inclusions of silicon (Sio) and inclusions of metal-silicide with varying compositions (e.g. Si58V25Ti12Cr3Fe2, Si41Fe24Ti20Ni7V5Zr3, and Si43Fe40Ni17). The silicides crystal structure parameters match Si2TiV5 (Pm-3 m space group, cubic), FeSi2Ti (Pbam space group, orthorhombic), and FeSi2 (Cmca space group, orthorhombic) respectively. We hypothesize that SiC was formed in a local ultra-reduced environment at respectively shallow depths (60-100 km), through a "desilification" reaction of SiO2 with highly reducing fluids (H2O-CH4-H2-C2H6) arisen from the mantle "hot spot" and passing through alkaline basalt magma reservoir. SiO2 (melt) interacting with the fluids may originate from the walls of the crustal rocks surrounding this magmatic reservoir. The "desilification" process led to the formation of SiC and the reduction of metal-oxides to native metals, alloys, and silicides. The latter were trapped by SiC during its growth. Hence, interplate "hot spot" alkali basalt volcanism can now be included as a geological environment where SiC, silicon, and silicides can be found.

Abstract: Terrestrial moissanite (SiC) is widely reported as an ultra-high pressure mineral occurring in kimberlites, diamonds and ultramafic/mafic rocks of mantle origin. However, the conditions of crystallization remain largely unknown. Moreover, dozens of SiC occurrences have been reported from continental crust sources such as granitoids, andesite-dacite volcanic rocks and their breccia, metasomatic and metamorphic rocks, and even limestones. The validity of many of these reports is still debated primarily due to possible contaminations from the widespread use of synthetic SiC abrasives in samples preparation. Indeed, reports of well-documented in-situ occurrences of moissanite in association with co-existing minerals are still scarce. The only condition of moissanite formation that is agreed upon is that extremely reducing media are required (e.g. 4.5-6 log units below the iron-wustite buffer). Here, we report the new occurrence of moissanite that was found in-situ within the garnet-staurolite-mica schists of Topolovgrad metamorphic group of Triassic age in Southern Bulgaria. The 10-300 µm moissanite crystals are situated within 0.1-1.2 mm isolated clusters, filled with amorphous carbon and nanocrystalline graphite. Most of moissanite crystals are 15R (rhombohedral) and 6H (hexagonal) polytypes, and one prismatic crystal, found within them, exhibits unusual concentric polytypical zoning with core (15R), intermediate zone (6H) and rim (3C-cubic). Experimental data show that this type of polytypical zonation is likely due to a decrease in temperature (or/and pressure?) and changes in Si/C ratio. Indeed, amphibolite facies metamorphism (500-580?°C - garnet-staurolite zone) followed by a subsequent cooling during the retrograde stage of green schist facies metamorphism (~400-500?°C) could have provided a change in temperature. The SiC containing clusters exhibit evidence that they are pre-metamorphic, and we hypothesize that their protolith was a "lack shale" material likely rich in carbon, hydrocarbon and terrigenous silica. The latter served as a source of isolated chemically-reduced media, which is required for SiC formation. Other concepts to explain moissanite occurrences in metasedimentary rocks are also discussed. Importantly, our findings show that the formation conditions of moissanite are likely more variable than previously recognized.

Abstract: Moissanite, SiC, is an uncommon accessory mineral that forms under low oxygen fugacity. Here, we analyze natural SiC from a Miocene tuff-sandstone using synchrotron Laue microdiffraction and Raman spectroscopy, in order to better understand the SiC phases and formation physics. The studied crystals of SiC consist of 4H- and 6H-SiC domains, formed from either, continuous growth or, in one case, intergrown, together with native Si. The native Si is polycrystalline, with a large crystal size relative to the analytical beam dimensions (>1-2 µm). We find that the intergrown region shows low distortion or dislocation density in SiC, but these features are comparatively high in Si. The distortion/deformation observed in Si may have been caused by a mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the two materials. Raman spectroscopic measurements are discussed in combination with our Laue microdiffraction results. Our results suggest that these SiC grains likely grew from an igneous melt.

Abstract: Natural diamonds that have been partially replaced by graphite have been observed to occur in natural rocks. While the graphite-to-diamond phase transition has been extensively studied the opposite of this (diamond to graphite) remains poorly understood. We performed high-pressure and temperature hydrous and anhydrous experiments up to 1.0?GPa and 1300?°C using Amplex premium virgin synthetic diamonds (20-40?µm size) as the starting material mixed with Mg (OH)2 as a source of H2O for the hydrous experiments. The experiments revealed that the diamond-to-graphite transformation at P?=?1GPa and T?=?1300?°C was triggered by the presence of H2O and was accomplished through a three-stage process. Stage 1: diamond reacts with a supercritical H2O producing an intermediate 200-500?nm size "globular carbon" phase. This phase is a linear carbon chain; i.e. a polyyne or carbyne. Stage 2: the linear carbon chains are unstable and highly reactive, and they decompose by zigzagging and cross-linking to form sp2-bonded structures. Stage 3: normal, disordered, and onion-like graphite is produced by the decomposition of the sp-hybridized carbon chains which are re-organized into sp2 bonds. Our experiments show that there is no direct transformation from sp3 C-bonds into sp2 C-bonds. Our hydrous high-pressure and high-temperature experiments show that the diamond-to-graphite transformation requires an intermediate metastable phase of a linear hydrocarbon. This process provides a simple mechanism for the substitution of other elements into the graphite structure (e.g. H, S, O).

Abstract: Here, we present studies of natural SiC that occurs in situ in tuff related to the Miocene alkaline basalt formation deposited in northern part of Israel. Raman spectroscopy, SEM and FIB-assisted TEM studies revealed that SiC is primarily hexagonal polytypes 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC, and that the 4H-SiC polytype is the predominant phase. Both SiC polytypes contain crystalline inclusions of silicon (Sio) and inclusions of metal-silicide with varying compositions (e.g. Si58V25Ti12Cr3Fe2, Si41Fe24Ti20Ni7V5Zr3, and Si43Fe40Ni17). The silicides crystal structure parameters match Si2TiV5 (Pm-3 m space group, cubic), FeSi2Ti (Pbam space group, orthorhombic), and FeSi2 (Cmca space group, orthorhombic) respectively. We hypothesize that SiC was formed in a local ultra-reduced environment at respectively shallow depths (60-100 km), through a "desilification" reaction of SiO2 with highly reducing fluids (H2O-CH4-H2-C2H6) arisen from the mantle "hot spot" and passing through alkaline basalt magma reservoir. SiO2 (melt) interacting with the fluids may originate from the walls of the crustal rocks surrounding this magmatic reservoir. The "desilification" process led to the formation of SiC and the reduction of metal-oxides to native metals, alloys, and silicides. The latter were trapped by SiC during its growth. Hence, interplate "hot spot" alkali basalt volcanism can now be included as a geological environment where SiC, silicon, and silicides can be found.

Abstract: Silicon carbide (SiC, moissanite) is a common industrial material that is rarely found in terrestrial rocks and meteorites. It has been found to adopt over 300 different crystal structures, most of which are polytypic: they consist of alternating layers of Si and C, with only small stacking faults or shears distinguishing them from one another. In nature, only a few polytypes of SiC have been found, primarily a cubic zincblende type (3C-SiC), several hexagonal wurtzite types (4H-SiC and 6H-SiC), and a rhombohedral type (15R-SiC). Our natural silicon carbide sample is from a Miocene tuff (Yizre'el Valley, Israel) related to interplate alkaline basalt volcanism. Three SiC grains with native silicon and metal silicide inclusions were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron Laue X-ray microdiffraction accompanied by mapping at a 5-8 um resolution. SiC is found to crystallize in only the 4H and 6H polytypes. Due to the crystal orientation of the grains, as well as the significant difference in the c-axis length (~10 vs. ~15 um in 4H and 6H respectively), we were able to unambiguously assign polytypes to each diffraction pattern. Each grain contains large areas where one polytype dominates as a single crystal. In some cases, multiple stacking faults and misoriented polycrystalline aggregates of SiC occur at the 4H/6H interface. In other cases we see intercalation of the 4H and 6H crystals throughout the diffracting volume without a significant change in their crystallographic axes orientation, pointing to a possibly incommensurate crystal structure. Stress and strain are also mapped for all three grains, showing a slight (< 2 ppt) compressive strain in the y direction of all three grains, and a tensile strain in the x and z directions. In the SiC-2 grain, a mostly single-crystalline Si inclusion was found, with an exposed surface diameter of ~30 um. We examine residual strain in Si by both Laue X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, and find results to generally agree between the two measurements.

Abstract: The transition zone (TZ) is believed to be the primary destination of subducted water [1], with the main TZ minerals (wadsleyite and ringwoodite) capable of holding up to ~ 3 wt.% H2O in their structures'. Observations of high attenuation and elevated conductivity suggest some areas of the transition zone are hydrated [2,3]. Combined with the observation of ~ 1.4 wt% H2O in a diamond-hosted ringwoodite inclusion [4], it is probable that the transition zone is at least regionally, if not globally, "wet". The presence of water can induce partial melting, alter chemical partitioning and drastically change the strength of rocks. The detailed effect of water's presence in the TZ will strongly depend on hydrogen's incorporation mechanism, i.e. exchange with Si4+, Mg2+, Fe2+ cations or coupled substitution with Fe3+ in ringwoodite. Recent developments in neutron single-crystal Laue diffraction now allow measurements on crystals smaller than 0.1 mm3 [5]. Here we quantitatively study the incorporation of hydrogen in a synthetic iron-bearing ringwoodite. A multi-technique approach, with independent determination of chemistry, ferric iron content, water content and structure via x-ray and neutron diffraction allows a detailed study of the hydrous ringwoodite structure and the incorporation mechanism of water throughout Earth's TZ.

Structural characteristization of natural diamond shocked to 60 Gpa: implications for Earth and Planetary Systems. Lithos, in press available 25p. Technology Natural diamonds
Abstract: The possible presence of the high-density carbon polymorph with hexagonal symmetry known as "lonsdaleite" provides an important marker for shock impact events. It is typically considered to form as a metastable phase produced from graphite or other carbonaceous precursors. However, its existence has recently been called into question. Here we collected high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction data for laboratory-shocked and natural impact diamonds that both show evidence for deviations from cubic symmetry, that would be consistent with the appearance of hexagonal stacking sequences. These results show that hexagonality can be achieved by shocking diamond as well as from graphite precursors. The diffraction results are analyzed in terms of a general model that describes intermediate stacking sequences between pure diamond (fully cubic) and "lonsdaleite" (fully hexagonal) phases, with provision made for ordered vs disordered stacking arrangements. This approach provides a "hexagonality index" that can be used to characterize and distinguish among samples that have experienced different degrees of shock or static high pressure-high temperature treatments. We have also examined the relative energetics of diamond and "lonsdaleite" structures using density functional theoretical (DFT) methods. The results set limits on the conditions under which a transformation between diamond and "lonsdaleite" structures can be achieved. Calculated Raman spectra provide an indicator for the presence of extended hexagonal stacking sequences within natural and laboratory-prepared samples. Our results show that comparable crystallographic structures may be developed by impact-generated shockwaves starting from ambient conditions using either of the two different allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite). This broadens the scope for its occurrence in terrestrial and planetary systems.

Abstract: Seismology records the presence of various heterogeneities throughout the lower mantle1,2, but the origins of these signals—whether thermal or chemical—remain uncertain, and therefore much of the information that they hold about the nature of the deep Earth is obscured. Accurate interpretation of observed seismic velocities requires knowledge of the seismic properties of all of Earth's possible mineral components. Calcium silicate (CaSiO3) perovskite is believed to be the third most abundant mineral throughout the lower mantle. Here we simultaneously measure the crystal structure and the shear-wave and compressional-wave velocities of samples of CaSiO3 perovskite, and provide direct constraints on the adiabatic bulk and shear moduli of this material. We observe that incorporation of titanium into CaSiO3 perovskite stabilizes the tetragonal structure at higher temperatures, and that the material's shear modulus is substantially lower than is predicted by computations3,4,5 or thermodynamic datasets6. When combined with literature data and extrapolated, our results suggest that subducted oceanic crust will be visible as low-seismic-velocity anomalies throughout the lower mantle. In particular, we show that large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) are consistent with moderate enrichment of recycled oceanic crust, and mid-mantle discontinuities can be explained by a tetragonal-cubic phase transition in Ti-bearing CaSiO3 perovskite.

Abstract: Pyroclastic deposits of the Holocene Igwisi Hills kimberlite volcanoes, Tanzania, preserve unequivocal evidence for rapid, syn-eruptive agglutination. The unusual pyroclasts are composed of ash-sized particles agglutinated to each other by thin necks. The textures suggest the magma was disrupted into droplets during ascent. Collisions between particles occurred within a volcanic plume and on deposition within the conduit to form a weakly agglutinated, porous pyroclastic deposit. Theoretical considerations indicate that agglutination occurred over short timescales. Agglutinated clasts were entrained into weak volcanic plumes and deposited around the craters. Our results support the notion that agglutination can occur during kimberlite eruptions, and that some coherent, dense rocks in ancient kimberlite pipes interpreted as intrusive rocks could instead represent agglutinated pyroclastic rocks. Differentiating between agglutinated pyroclastic rocks and effusive or intrusive rocks in kimberlite pipes is important because of the potential effects that pyroclastic processes might have on diamond concentrations in deposits.

Abstract: The role of decoupling in the low-velocity zone is crucial for understanding plate tectonics and mantle convection. Mantle convection models fail to integrate plate kinematics and thermodynamics of the mantle. In a first gross estimate, we computed at >300 km3/yr the volume of the plates lost along subduction zones. Mass balance predicts that slabs are compensated by broad passive upwellings beneath oceans and continents, passively emerging at oceanic ridges and backarc basins. These may correspond to the broad low-wavespeed regions found in the upper mantle by tomography. However, west-directed slabs enter the mantle more than three times faster (~232 km3/yr) than in the opposite east- or northeast-directed subduction zones (~74 km3/yr). This difference is consistent with the westward drift of the outer shell relative to the underlying mantle, which accounts for the steep dip of west-directed slabs, the asymmetry between flanks of oceanic ridges, and the directions of ridge migration. The larger recycling volumes along west-directed subduction zones imply asymmetric cooling of the underlying mantle and that there is an "easterly" directed component of the upwelling replacement mantle. In this model, mantle convection is tuned by polarized decoupling of the advecting and shearing upper boundary layer. Return mantle flow can result from passive volume balance rather than only by thermal buoyancy-driven upwelling.

Abstract: Crustal low-velocity zones (LVZs) have been reported in active orogens such as the Himalayas and the Andes but rarely in stable cratonic regions. In this study, we provide compelling evidence for a significant midcrustal LVZ beneath eastern-central Alberta, an integral part of the Precambrian Canadian Shield covered by thick Phanerozoic sedimentary deposits. This 200?km wide, over 10?km thick midcrustal LVZ is well resolved by shear velocity inversions using P-to-S receiver functions from more than 4600 earthquakes. It is generally overlain by a high-velocity upper crust in the depth range of 8-15?km, especially in western-central Alberta, which coincides with the previously documented Winagami reflection sequence. We interpret the LVZ to be of granitic composition, potentially in connection with the crystallization of partially molten crust during the Paleoproterozoic eon. In addition to the Precambrian tectonic history of western Laurentia, which featured plate convergence conducive to crustal melting, our crustal model is further supported by (1) a moderate spatial correlation between the LVZ and heat flow, and (2) shear velocities consistent with that of granite. The well preserved Winagami reflection sequence and the LVZ are potential evidence of distinct episodes of magmatism and crust modification in the Precambrian basement of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. The existence of a broad crustal LVZ suggests extensive subduction, orogenesis, and crustal melting during the Precambrian assembly of the North American craton.

Geology of Ore Deposits, Vol. 58, 5, pp. 383-403. Russia Lamprophyre - aillikite
Abstract: The results of geochronological, mineralogical, petrographical, and geochemical study of the Ilbokich ultramafic lamprophyre are reported. The specific features in the mineral and chemical compositions of the studied ultramafic lamprophyre indicate that it can be regarded as a variety similar to aillikite, while other differences dominated by K-feldspar can be referred to damtjernite. According to Rb-Sr analysis, ultramafic lamprophyre dikes intruded at the turn of the Early and Middle Devonian, about 392 Ma ago. This directly proves the existence of Early Paleozoic alkali-ultramafic magmatism in the northern part of the southwest Siberian Platform. A finding of Devonian alkali-ultramafic lamprophyre is of dual predictive importance. On the one hand, it is indicative of the low probability of finding large diamond-bearing deposits in close association with aillikite. On the other hand, it can be indicative of a possible large Devonian diamond province in the studied territory, where diamondiferous kimberlite is structurally separated from aillikite.

Russia deposit - Lake Kimozero
Abstract: Syngenetic and epigenetic ore mineralization was studied in Paleoproterozoic metakimberlites in the area of Kimozero Lake. In the Kimozero structure, redeposited ore mineralization is constrained to fracture and shear zones and consists of Fe-vaesite, Fe-Co-polydymite, millerite, Ni-pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, Zn-bearing copper, galena, and Ni-pyrite. The composition of this mineralization is analogous to that of syngenetic mineralization in pyroclastic and coherent kimberlite, and its likely source was the kimberlite itself.

Abstract: Based on a detailed petrographic investigation and geological observations of the Paleoproterozoic Kimozero kimberlite (Karelia, Russia), we present a new model of kimberlite pipe with multiphase and mono-crater structure. We recognised volcanoclastic and coherent kimberlite series that filled the inner and outer zones of the kimberlite crater. The multiphase structure, emplacement style, petrography and reconstructed size of the Kimozero kimberlite correspond to Phanerozoic kimberlite pipes.

Four main types of zircons were distinguished in eclogites: porous crystals with numerous inclusions from eclogite-metagabbro; wide-rimmed zircons with relict porous cores similar to previous type separated from garnetites; round-oval zircons from eclogite-metagabbronorite that are characteristic for granulite facies rocks and zircons with euhedral oscillatory zoning cores and oval grains that are characteristic for the eclogite facies pillow basalts. Regular changes in REE patterns and in crystallization-recrystallization temperatures of certain domains of the porous zircons display sequence of magmatic and metamorphic events. The?~?2.9?Ga domains retain magmatic-type REE patterns. Low- and medium-temperature inclusions of prenite, pumpelliite, albite, actinolite, chlorite, diaspore and saponite in garnet and abundant microinclusions of the prenite-pumpelliite and greenschist facies in zircons with LREE-MREE enrichment indicate hydrothermal metamorphism in the spreading ridge and ocean floor at 2.9-2.82?Ga. Disappearance of Ce positive anomaly from REE pattern in zircon, change negative to positive Eu anomaly and LREE-MREE enrichment caused by plagioclase removal and replacement of rutile with sphene evidence eclogite facies metamorphism linked with subduction at 2.82-2.78?Ga. Temperatures in the 700-900?°C range of the round-oval zircons from eclogite-metagabbronorite records the Neoarchaean granulite facies overprint at 2.77-2.70?Ga. Series of the high temperature Palaeoprpoterozoic events was terminated by 2.1-1.7?Ga event marked by the rims with lowest REE that frame all types of zircons. Change from positive to negative Eu anomaly, retrieval of negative Ce anomaly indicate the presence of plagioclase, reduction type of fluids and low water activity characteristic of high-temperature metamorphism under stretching condition and mantle-plume activity. The deep reworking of the Sm-Nd isotope system in the Belomorian tectonic province at?~?1.9?Ga, including the Salma eclogite association, was caused by the enormous crustal heating that spread from the Lapland granulite belt southward. Radiogenic 176Hf enrichment of 1.9?Ga zircon indicates recrystallization of a long-existed garnet with release of significant amount of 176Hf.

Abstract: High-pressure and high-temperature melting experiments were conducted in the systems Mg2SiO4-H2O and MgSiO3-H2O at 6 and 13 GPa and between 1150 and 1900 °C in order to investigate the effect of H2O on melting relations of forsterite and enstatite. The liquidus curves in both binary systems were constrained and the experimental results were interpreted using a thermodynamic model based on the homogeneous melt speciation equilibrium, H2O + O2- = 2OH-, where water in the melt is present as both molecular H2O and OH- groups bonded to silicate polyhedra. The liquidus depression as a function of melt H2O concentration is predicted using a cryoscopic equation with the experimental data being reproduced by adjusting the water speciation equilibrium constant. Application of this model reveals that in hydrous MgSiO3 melts at 6 and 13 GPa and in hydrous Mg2SiO4 melts at 6 GPa, water mainly dissociates into OH- groups in the melt structure. A temperature dependent equilibrium constant is necessary to reproduce the data, however, implying that molecular H2O becomes more important in the melt with decreasing temperature. The data for hydrous forsterite melting at 13 GPa are inconclusive due to uncertainties in the anhydrous melting temperature at these conditions. When applied to results on natural peridotite melt systems at similar conditions, the same model infers the presence mainly of molecular H2O, implying a significant difference in physicochemical behaviour between simple and complex hydrous melt systems. As pressures increase along a typical adiabat towards the base of the upper mantle, both simple and complex melting results imply that a hydrous melt fraction would decrease, given a fixed mantle H2O content. Consequently, the effect of pressure on the depression of melting due to H2O could not cause an increase in the proportion, and hence seismic visibility, of melts towards the base of the upper mantle.

Abstract: We present a newly developed software framework, MMA-EoS, that evaluates phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of multicomponent systems by Gibbs energy minimization, with application to mantle petrology. The code is versatile in terms of the equation-of-state and mixing properties and allows for the computation of properties of single phases, solution phases, and multiphase aggregates. Currently, the open program distribution contains equation-of-state formulations widely used, that is, Caloric-Murnaghan, Caloric-Modified-Tait, and Birch-Murnaghan-Mie-Grüneisen-Debye models, with published databases included. Through its modular design and easily scripted database, MMA-EoS can readily be extended with new formulations of equations-of-state and changes or extensions to thermodynamic data sets. We demonstrate the application of the program by reproducing and comparing physical properties of mantle phases and assemblages with previously published work and experimental data, successively increasing complexity, up to computing phase equilibria of six-component compositions. Chemically complex systems allow us to trace the budget of minor chemical components in order to explore whether they lead to the formation of new phases or extend stability fields of existing ones. Self-consistently computed thermophysical properties for a homogeneous mantle and a mechanical mixture of slab lithologies show no discernible differences that require a heterogeneous mantle structure as has been suggested previously. Such examples illustrate how thermodynamics of mantle mineralogy can advance the study of Earth's interior.

Abstract: Sills of hydrothermally altered alkaline magmatic rock (teschenite) of Lower Cretaceous age at the Certák and Repište sites in the Silesian Unit (Flysch Belt of the Outer Western Carpathians, Czech Republic) host leucocratic dykes and nests which contain accessory minerals enriched in Zr, Nb and REE: Zr-, Nb-rich titanite, zircon, gittinsite, pyrochlore, monazite, REE-rich apatite, epidote, and vesuvianite. Titanite forms wedge-shaped crystals or irregular aggregates enclosed in the analcime groundmass or overgrowths on Zr-rich ferropargasite and taramite or Zr-rich aegirine-augite to aegirine. Titanite crystals show oscillatory or irregular patchy to sector zoning and contain up to 17.7 wt. % ZrO2 and 19.6 wt. % Nb2O5, and =1.1 wt. % REE2O3. High-field-strength elements (HFSE) are incorporated into the structure of the studied titanite predominantly by substitutions: (i) [6]Ti4+???[6]Zr4+; (ii) [6]Ti4+?+?[6]Al3+???[6]Zr4+?+?[6]Fe3+; and (iii) [6]2Ti4+???[6]Nb5+?+?[6](Al, Fe)3+. Magmatic fractional crystallization, high-temperature hydrothermal autometasomatic overprint and low-temperature hydrothermal alterations resulted in the formation of the HFSE-rich mineral assemblages within the leucocratic teschenites. Autometamorphic processes caused by high-temperature hypersaline aqueous solutions (salinity ~50 wt. %, ~390-510 °C), which were released from the HFSE-enriched residual melt, played a major role in the crystallization of Zr-, Nb-, and REE-rich minerals. The mobilization of HFSE could have occurred either by their sequestration into a fluid phase exsolved from the crystallizing melt or by superimposed alteration processes. The distinctive positive Eu anomaly (EuCN/Eu*?=?1.85) of leucocratic dykes infers possible mixing of Eu2+-bearing magmatic fluids with more oxidized fluids.

Abstract: Hydrothermal mineralization hosted by the Lower Cretaceous igneous rock of the teschenite association at Jasenice (Silesian Unit, Flysch Belt, Outer Western Carpathians) occurs in two morphological types - irregular vein filled by granular calcite and regular composite vein formed by both fibrous and granular calcite and minor chlorite, quartz, and pyrite. Crosscutting evidence indicates that the granular veins are younger than the composite vein. The composite vein was formed by two mechanisms at different times. The arrangement of solid inclusions in the marginal fibrous zone suggests an episodic growth by the crack-seal mechanism during syntectonic deformation which was at least partially driven by tectonic suction pump during some stages of the Alpine Orogeny. Both the central part of the composite vein and monomineral veins developed in a brittle regime. In these cases, the textures of vein suggest the flow of fluids along an open fracture. The parent fluids of both types of vein are characterized by low temperatures (Th=66-163 °C), low salinities (0.4 to 3.4 wt. % NaCl eq.), low content of strong REE-complexing ligands, and d18O and d13C ranges of + 0.2/+12.5 %. SMOW and -11.8/-14.1 %. PDB, respectively. The parent fluids are interpreted as the results of mixing of residual seawater and diagenetic waters produced by dewatering of clay minerals in the associ-ated flysch sediments. The flow of fluids was controlled by tectonic deformation of the host rock.

Brief comments on the impact metamorphism in Cerro Leon quartzites, western Paraguay. English abstract ** in PORT Pyroclastic Flow, Vol. 7, 1,pp. 16-24. South America, Paraguay impact diamonds
Abstract: The petrographic study of two samples (quartzite and impactite) of Cerro León, a mountain range located in the middle of very probable impact basins (Cerro Leon-1, 2, 3 and 4-department of Alto Paraguay, Western-Paraguay) indicated evidences of impact metamorphism: PDFs (Not decorated and decorated) and diaplectic glass. Associated with diaplectic glass, impact diamonds or diamond/lonsdaleite crystals (micro and small macros) were observed with a range of morphologies including isolated and mostly agglutinated crystal varieties. Impact diamonds estimated to have formed by carbonate impact metamorphism present in the sedimentary target-rock of the Silurian/Devonian age. The identification of elements that reveal the impact metamorphism, in the analyzed samples of the Cerro León, evidences that the area of occurrence that would have been indicated as Very Probable Impact Basin, would be more of an Impact Basin.

Abstract: Advances in global seismic tomography have increasingly motivated identification of subducted lithosphere in Earth's deep mantle, creating novel opportunities to link plate tectonics and mantle evolution. Chief among those is the quest for a robust subduction reference frame, wherein the mantle assemblage of subducted lithosphere is used to reconstruct past surface tectonics in an absolute framework anchored in the deep Earth. However, the associations heretofore drawn between lower mantle structure and past subduction have been qualitative and conflicting, so the very assumption of a correlation has yet to be quantitatively corroborated. Here we show that a significant, time-depth progressive correlation can be drawn between reconstructed subduction zones of the last 130 Myr and positive S wave velocity anomalies at 600 -2300 km depth, but that further correlation between greater times and depths is not presently demonstrable. This correlation suggests that lower mantle slab sinking rates average between 1.1 and 1.9 cmyr 1.

2019 Domeier, M. Domeier, M., Torsvik, T.H. Full plate modelling in pre-Jurassic time. Geological Magazine, Vol. 156, 2, pp. 261-280. Mantle plate tectonics
Abstract: A half-century has passed since the dawning of the plate tectonic revolution, and yet, with rare exception, palaeogeographic models of pre-Jurassic time are still constructed in a way more akin to Wegener's paradigm of continental drift. Historically, this was due to a series of problems - the near-complete absence of in situ oceanic lithosphere older than 200 Ma, a fragmentary history of the latitudinal drift of continents, unconstrained longitudes, unsettled geodynamic concepts and a lack of efficient plate modelling tools - which together precluded the construction of plate tectonic models. But over the course of the last five decades strategies have been developed to overcome these problems, and the first plate model for pre-Jurassic time was presented in 2002. Following on that pioneering work, but with a number of significant improvements (most notably longitude control), we here provide a recipe for the construction of full-plate models (including oceanic lithosphere) for pre-Jurassic time. In brief, our workflow begins with the erection of a traditional (or 'Wegenerian') continental rotation model, but then employs basic plate tectonic principles and continental geology to enable reconstruction of former plate boundaries, and thus the resurrection of lost oceanic lithosphere. Full-plate models can yield a range of testable predictions that can be used to critically evaluate them, but also novel information regarding long-term processes that we have few (or no) alternative means of investigating, thus providing exceptionally fertile ground for new exploration and discovery.

Abstract: Diamond is a material of immense technological importance and an ancient signifier for wealth and societal status. In geology, diamond forms as part of the deep carbon cycle and typically displays a highly ordered cubic crystal structure. Impact diamonds, however, often exhibit structural disorder in the form of complex combinations of cubic and hexagonal stacking motifs. The structural characterization of such diamonds remains a challenge. Here, impact diamonds from the Popigai crater were characterized with a range of techniques. Using the MCDIFFaX approach for analysing X-ray diffraction data, hexagonality indices up to 40% were found. The effects of increasing amounts of hexagonal stacking on the Raman spectra of diamond were investigated computationally and found to be in excellent agreement with trends in the experimental spectra. Electron microscopy revealed nanoscale twinning within the cubic diamond structure. Our analyses lead us to propose a systematic protocol for assigning specific hexagonality attributes to the mineral designated as lonsdaleite among natural and synthetic samples.

Abstract: The Australian continent records c. 1860-1800 Ma orogenesis associated with rapid accretion of several ribbon micro-continents along the southern and eastern margins of the proto-North Australian Craton during Nuna assembly. The boundaries of these accreted micro-continents are imaged in crustal-scale seismic reflection data, and regional gravity and aeromagnetic datasets. Continental growth (c. 1860-1850 Ma) along the southern margin of the proto-North Australian Craton is recorded by the accretion of a micro-continent that included the Aileron Terrane (northern Arunta Inlier) and the Gawler Craton. Eastward growth of the North Australian Craton occurred during the accretion of the Numil Terrane and the Abingdon Seismic Province, which forms part of a broader zone of collision between the northwestern margins of Laurentia and the proto-North Australian Craton. The Tickalara Arc initially accreted with the Kimberley Craton at c. 1850 Ma and together these collided with the proto-North Australian Craton at c. 1820 Ma. Collision between the West Australian Craton and the proto-North Australian Craton at c. 1790-1760 Ma terminated the rapid growth of the Australian continent.

Abstract: Carbonates are common rock-forming minerals in the Earth's crust and act as sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Subduction of hydrothermally altered oceanic lithosphere returns carbon to the interior, where more than three quarters of Earth's carbon is stored. The contribution of subducted carbonates to the Earth's long-term deep carbon cycle is uncertain and has recently emerged as a topic of intense debate [1]. Moreover, mantle-slab interaction has been proposed as a mechanism to produce super-deep diamonds, thus questioning the use of certain mineral inclusions to infer lower-mantle origin [2]. Here we report new data on the chemical stability and reaction kinetics of carbonates in the mantle from multianvil and diamond-anvil-cell experiments. Our results suggest that carbon can be sequestered into deep Earth through reaction freezing and that the index minerals for super-deep diamonds are not reliable indicators for their formation depths.

Abstract: The thermal and chemical state of the early Archaean deep mantle is poorly resolved due to the rare occurrences of early Archaean magnesium-rich volcanic rocks. In particular, it is not clear whether compositional heterogeneity existed in the early Archaean deep mantle and, if it did, how deep mantle heterogeneity formed. Here we present a geochronological and geochemical study on a Palaeoarchaean ultramafic-mafic suite (3.45-Gyr-old) with mantle plume signatures in Longwan, Eastern Hebei, the North China Craton. This suite consists of metamorphosed cumulates and basalts. The meta-basalts are iron rich and show the geochemical characteristics of present-day oceanic island basalt and unusually high mantle potential temperatures (1,675?°C), which suggests a deep mantle source enriched in iron and incompatible elements. The Longwan ultramafic-mafic suite is best interpreted as the remnants of a 3.45-Gyr-old enriched mantle plume. The first emergence of mantle-plume-related rocks on the Earth 3.5-3.45?billion years ago indicates that a global mantle plume event occurred with the onset of large-scale deep mantle convection in the Palaeoarchaean. Various deep mantle sources of these Palaeoarchaean mantle-plume-related rocks imply that significant compositional heterogeneity was present in the Palaeoarchaean deep mantle, most probably introduced by recycled crustal material.

Abstract: n recent years, nominal type IaAB and IIa diamonds with transient 2800 cm-1 FTIR absorption peaks arising from uncompensated boron produced under UV radiation have been reported (J. Li et al., A diamond with a transient 2804 cm-1 absorption peak, Journal of Gemmology, Vol. 35, 2016, pp. 248-252; Winter 2016 Lab Notes, pp. 412-413). The National Center of Supervision and Inspection on Quality of Gold and Silver Products recently examined a type IaB diamond that exhibited instantaneous 2803 cm-1 FTIR absorption shortly after exposure to an ultra-short-wave (< 230 nm) UV source.

Abstract: We report groundmass perovskite U -Pb (SIMS) ages, perovskite Nd isotopic (LA-ICPMS) composition and bulk-rock geochemical data of the Timmasamudram diamondiferous kimberlite cluster, Wajrakarur kimberlite field, in the Eastern Dharwar craton of southern India. The kimberlite pipes gave similar Mesoproterozoic ages of 1086 ± 19 Ma (TK-1, microcrystic variant) and 1119 ± 12 Ma (TK-3). However, a perovskite population sampled from the macrocrystic variant of TK-1 gave a much younger Late Cretaceous age of ca. 90 Ma. This macrocrystic kimberlite phase intrudes the Mesoproterozoic microcrystic phase and has a distinct bulk-rock geochemistry. The Nd-isotope composition of the ~ 1100 Ma perovskites in the cluster show depleted eNd(T) values of 2.1 ± 0.6 to 6.7 ± 0.3 whereas the ~ 90 Ma perovskites have enriched eNd(T) values of - 6.3 ± 1.3. The depleted-mantle (DM) model age of the Cretaceous perovskites is 1.2 Ga, whereas the DM model age of the Proterozoic perovskites is 1.2 to 1.5 Ga. Bulk-rock incompatible trace element ratios (La/Sm, Gd/Lu, La/Nb and Th/Nb) of all Timmasamudram kimberlites show strong affinity with those from the Cretaceous Group II kimberlites from the Bastar craton (India) and Kaapvaal craton (southern Africa). As the Late Cretaceous age of the younger perovskites from the TK-1 kimberlite is indistinguishable from that of the Marion hotspot-linked extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks from Madagascar and India, we infer that all may be part of a single Madagascar Large Igneous Province. Our finding constitutes the first report of Cretaceous kimberlite activity from southern India and has significant implications for its sub-continental lithospheric mantle evolution and diamond exploration programs.

Abstract: New mineralogical and bulk-rock geochemical data for the recently recognised Mesoproterozoic (ca. 1100 Ma) and late Cretaceous (ca. 90 Ma) kimberlites in the Timmasamudram cluster (TKC) of the Wajrakarur kimberlite field (WKF), Eastern Dharwar Craton, southern India, are presented. On the basis of groundmass mineral chemistry (phlogopite, spinel, perovskite and clinopyroxene), bulk-rock chemistry (SiO2, K2O, low TiO2, Ba/Nb and La/Sm), and perovskite Nd isotopic compositions, the TK-1 (macrocrystic variety) and TK-4 (microcrystic variety) kimberlites in this cluster are here classified as orangeites (i.e. Group II kimberlites), with geochemical characteristics that are very similar to orangeites previously described from the Bastar Craton in central India, as well as the Kaapvaal Craton in South Africa. The remaining kimberlites (e.g., TK-2, TK-3 and the TK-1 microcrystic variant), are more similar to other 1100 Ma, Group I-type kimberlites of the Eastern Dharwar Craton, as well as the typical Group I kimberlites of the Kaapvaal Craton. Through the application of geochemical modelling, based on published carbonated peridotite/melt trace element partition coefficients, we show that the generation of the TKC kimberlites and the orangeites results from low degrees of partial melting of a metasomatised, carbonated peridotite.

Abstract: New mineralogical and bulk-rock geochemical data for the recently recognised Mesoproterozoic (ca. 1100 Ma) and late Cretaceous (ca. 90 Ma) kimberlites in the Timmasamudram cluster (TKC) of the Wajrakarur kimberlite field (WKF), Eastern Dharwar Craton, southern India, are presented. On the basis of groundmass mineral chemistry (phlogopite, spinel, perovskite and clinopyroxene), bulk-rock chemistry (SiO2, K2O, low TiO2, Ba/Nb and La/Sm), and perovskite Nd isotopic compositions, the TK-1 (macrocrystic variety) and TK-4 (Macrocrystic variety) kimberlites in this cluster are here classified as orangeites (i.e. Group II kimberlites), with geochemical characteristics that are very similar to orangeites previously described from the Bastar Craton in central India, as well as the Kaapvaal Craton in South Africa.

Through the application of geochemical modelling, based on published carbonated peridotite/melt trace element partition coefficients, we show that the generation of the TKC kimberlites and the orangeites results from low degrees of partial melting of a metasomatised, carbonated peridotite. Depleted mantle (TDM) Nd perovskite model ages of the 1100 Ma Timmasamudram kimberlites show that the metasomatic enrichment of their source regions are broadly similar to that of the Mesoproterozoic kimberlites of the EDC. The younger, late Cretaceous (ca. 90 Ma) TK-1 (macrocrystic variant) and TK-4 kimberlites, as well as the orangeites from the Bastar Craton, share similar Nd model ages of 1100 Ma, consistent with a similarity in the timing of source enrichment during the amalgamation of Rodinia supercontinent. The presence of late Cretaceous diamondiferous orangeite activity, presumably related to the location of the Marion hotspot in southern India at the time, suggests that thick lithosphere was preserved, at least locally, up to the late Cretaceous, and was not entirely destroyed during the breakup of Gondwana, as inferred by some recent geophysical models.

Abstract: Volcanic pipes, or maar-diatreme volcanoes, form during explosive eruptions of mantle-derived magmas near Earth's surface. Impressive examples are the carrot-shaped, downward tapering structures formed by kimberlite magmas. Kimberlites originate from >150 km depth within Earth's mantle beneath thick continental roots, away from tectonic plate margins. Kimberlite pipes can be significant diamond deposits, and the complex architecture revealed during exploration and mining is ascribed to repeated magma injections leading to multiple eruptions. Repeated magmatic pulses cause diatremes to widen and grow downward, forming kilometer-sized subterranean structures. However, the time-resolved evolution of kimberlite pipe systems is largely unknown. We present the first U/Pb perovskite ages for newly discovered kimberlite dikes (1139.8 ± 4.8 Ma) that cut through the volcaniclastic infill of the Premier kimberlite pipe (1153.3 ± 5.3 Ma) at Cullinan Diamond Mine, South Africa. The ages reveal that renewed kimberlite volcanic activity occurred, at a minimum, 3 m.y. after the main pipe formation. This finding suggests that the largest kimberlite pipes, and maar-diatreme volcanoes in general, may be magmatically active for several millions of years, which conflicts with this volcanism being described as 'monogenetic' at millennia time scales. Exemplified by Tier-1 diamond deposits on the Kaapvaal craton, long-lasting kimberlite volcanic activity may be an important factor in growing large diatremes, plus enabling effective transport of mantle cargo from the diamond stability field to Earth's surface.

Abstract: The Dongargarh Supergroup along with the basal Amgaon Gneissic Complex constitutes the northwestern part of the central Indian Bastar craton. In the present study, we report a new finding of a boninite dyke intruded in the Amgaon gneisses of this area. The dyke composed of mainly pyroxenes, amphiboles and subordinate amount of plagioclase. The higher contents of SiO2 (51-54 wt.%), MgO (12-14 wt.%), Ni (375-473 ppm), Cr (1416-1580 ppm) and very low TiO2 (0.2-0.4 wt.%) are consistent with the boninite nature of the dyke as well as the unevolved primary nature of the source magma. The extraordinarily high CaO content (15.97-17.7 wt.%) with higher CaO/Al2O3 (3.13-3.96) ratios classifies it as high-Ca boninite. The trace element ratios including Zr/Ti, Ti/V, Ti/Sc and Ti/Yb further show its geochemical similarity with the Archaean boninite. The dyke also shows negative high-field strength element (Nb, Ta and Ti) anomalies which are the characteristics of the boninite rocks reported elsewhere and along with the enriched light rare earth element pattern, it shows more affinity particularly with the northern Bastar boninite dyke. The mineralogical and geochemical similarities of the boninite dykes from the Bastar craton indicate a widespread boninitic event during the Palaeoproterozoic having a similar origin. These boninite dykes indicate the preservation of subduction-related signatures in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Bastar craton at the time of its evolution or may be during the convergence of the Bastar and Bundelkhand cratons.

Abstract: The ca. 1153?Ma Premier kimberlite pipe on the Kaapvaal craton has been intruded by late-stage kimberlite and carbonatite magmas forming discrete 0.5 to 5?m wide dykes within the lower diatreme. On the basis of petrography and geochemistry, the fresh kimberlite dykes represent archetypal monticellite phlogopite kimberlite of Group-1 affinity. Their mineral compositions, however, show marked deviations from trends that are typically considered as diagnostic for Group-1 kimberlite in mineralogical-genetic classification schemes for volatile-rich ultramafic rocks. Groundmass spinel compositions are transitional between magnesian ulvöspinel (a Group-1 kimberlite hallmark feature) and titanomagnetite trends, the latter being more diagnostic for lamproite, orangeite (formerly Group-2 kimberlite), and aillikite. The Premier kimberlite dykes contain groundmass phlogopite that evolves by Al- and Ba-depletion to tetraferriphlogopite, a compositional trend that is more typical for orangeite and aillikite. Although high-pressure cognate and groundmass ilmenites from the Premier hypabyssal kimberlites are characteristically Mg-rich (up to 15?wt% MgO), they contain up to 5?wt% MnO, which is more typical for carbonate-rich magmatic systems such as aillikite and carbonatite. Manganese-rich groundmass ilmenite also occurs in the Premier carbonatite dykes, which are largely devoid of mantle-derived crystal cargo, suggesting a link to the kimberlite dykes by fractionation processes involving development of residual carbonate-rich melts and fluids. Although mineralogical-genetic classification schemes for kimberlites and related rocks may provide an elegant approach to circumvent common issues such as mantle debris entrainment, many of the key mineral compositional trends are not as robust for magma type identification as previously thought. Utilizing an experimentally constrained CO2-degassing model, it is suggested that the Premier kimberlite dykes have lost between 10 and 20?wt% CO2 during magma ascent through the cratonic lithosphere, prior to emplacement near the Earth's surface. Comparatively low fO2 values down to -5.6 ?NNO are obtained for the kimberlite dykes when applying monticellite and perovskite oxybarometry, which probably reflects significant CO2 degassing during magma ascent rather than the original magma redox conditions and those of the deep upper mantle source. Thus, groundmass mineral oxybarometry may have little value for the prediction of the diamond preservation potential of ascending kimberlite magmas. After correction for olivine fractionation and CO2-loss, there remains a wide gap between the primitive kimberlite and carbonatite melt compositions at Premier, which suggests that these magma types cannot be linked by variably low degrees of partial melting of the same carbonated peridotite source in the deep upper mantle. Instead, fractionation processes produced carbonate-rich residual melts/fluids from ascending kimberlite magma, which led to the carbonatite dykes within Premier pipe.

Geological Journal, Vol. 54, 5, pp. 2994-3016. India deposit - Wajrakarur
Abstract: Kimberlite field is an example of widespread Mesoproterozoic intracontinental magmatism. Recent studies have identified deep subcontinental lithospheric mantle as a source region of the kimberlite magmatism while timing, origin, and processes responsible for the generation of coeval lamprophyres remain poorly constrained. Here, we present and discuss new petrological and geochemical data for two lamprophyre dykes from the Wajrakarur kimberlite field and assess their petrogenetic relation to the kimberlite occurrences. Based on mineral compositional and whole-rock geochemical characters, it is suggested that lamprophyres are formed through low degrees of partial melting of "enriched" lithospheric mantle that was modified and metasomatized by melts derived from recycled crust. This differs from geochemical imprints found in coeval kimberlites, where a crustal source component appears to be absent and is more consistent with rock derivation from "depleted" lithosphere which has experienced interaction with asthenosphere-derived melts. An apparent lack of garnet in the mantle sources of lamprophyres is suggestive of melting at comparatively shallow depth (~100 km) relative to the kimberlites. Hence, these geochemically contrasting rocks, although have formed at the same time, are derived from vertically heterogeneous lithospheric mantle sources and can be explained through and linked with a thermal anomaly in the underlying convective asthenosphere. We suggest that the deeper mantle source region of the kimberlites was more pristine and devoid of subduction-related signatures, whereas the shallower mantle source region of the lamprophyres seems to have preserved imprints of plate convergence and subduction associated with the evolution of the Dharwar Craton.

Abstract: We report mineral compositions and bulk rock geochemistry of mafic dykes intruded in the western part of Bastar craton, comprising of Archaean Amgaon Group and Proterozoic Dongargarh Supergroup of rocks. Field relations show two distinct trends of these dykes which are almost perpendicular to each other but having similar mineralogical and geochemical characteristics. Dykes are mostly composed of pyroxenes, plagioclase and subordinate amount of amphiboles and Fe-Ti oxides (magnetite and ilmenite). These hypersthene normative basaltic dykes show tholeiitic trend and are characterised by narrow compositional variations of MgO (6.067.08 wt%), FeOt (15.0617.78 wt%), TiO2 (1.182.24 wt%), Al2O3 (11.9615.54 wt%) and low Mg# [atomic Mg/(Mg?+?Fe2+)?×?100] values in the range of 3748. Low loss on ignition (LOI) values <2 wt% and significant trends of trace elements (Nb, La, Th, Sr) with Zr indicate insignificant effects of post magmatic processes in these dykes. Smooth correlations between major oxides and MgO, among trace element ratios (Ce/La, Th/Yb, Nb/Yb) and negative Nb-Ta anomalies without positive Zr and Hf anomalies negate the crustal contamination effects. The correlations of compatible (e.g. Cr, Ni) and incompatible (e.g. Ba, Rb) elements show involvement of both fractional crystallisation and partial melting processes in their formation. Flat heavy rare earth element (HREE) pattern with low (Tb/Yb)n values reveal their genesis from a mantle source without involvement of garnet and geochemical models suggested in the present study indicate melting from spinel lherzolite mantle source. Strong geochemical similarities of present dykes with those of earlier reported Lakhna (1.46 Ga) and Bandimal (1.42 Ga) dykes of northern Bastar craton suggest a widespread mafic magmatic event across the Bastar craton during 1.421.46 Ga. Present dykes therefore represent a subduction related outgrowth of Columbia supercontinent due to the accretion of continental margins.

Abstract: We report petrography, mineralogy, major- and trace-element compositions of a rare selection of spinel- and garnet-bearing peridotite xenoliths and single crystals separated from peridotites hosted in the Mesoproterozoic Wajrakarur kimberlites from the Eastern Dharwar craton (EDC), India. These ultramafic xenoliths consist of olivine (modal 74-82 vol%) with Fo92-93, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, spinel, garnet, and/or ilmenite. Calculated equilibrium pressure and temperature conditions are 2.5-5.0?GPa and 710-1179?°C for these peridotites, which suggests residence depths >160?km near the base of the Dharwar cratonic lithospheric mantle. Garnet in these ultramafic rocks [with Mg#?=?molar (Mg/(Mg?+?Fetotal)?×?100 of 80-88] displays either "sinuous" LREE-enriched patterns with depletion in Gd and Er for harzburgites or "normal" LREE-depleted, HREE-enriched patterns for lherzolites. Two groups of clinopyroxenes (group-I and group-II) were also observed with high LREE (LaN?>?10) and low LREE (LaN?

Abstract: Although Ti-rich garnets are commonly encountered in the groundmass of many alkaline igneous rocks, they are comparatively rare in kimberlites. Here we report on the occurrence of Ti-rich garnets in the groundmass of the P-15 and KL-3 kimberlites from the diamondiferous Wajrakarur field in the Eastern Dharwar craton of southern India. These garnets contain considerable Ti (11.7-23.9 wt.% TiO2), Ca (31.3-35.8 wt.% CaO), Fe (6.8-15.5 wt.% FeOT) and Cr (0.04-9.7 wt.% Cr2O3), but have low Al (0.2-5.7 wt.% Al2O3). In the case of the P-15 kimberlite they display a range in compositions from andradite to schorlomite, with a low proportion of grossular (andradite(17.7-49.9)schorlomite(34.6-49.5)-grossular(3.7-22.8)-pyrope(1.9-10.4)). A few grains also contain significant chromium and represent a solid solution between schorlomite and uvarovite. The Ti-rich garnets in the KL-3 kimberlite, in contrast, are mostly schorlomitic (54.9-90.9 mol %) in composition. The Ti-rich garnets in the groundmass of these two kimberlites are intimately associated with chromian spinels, perhaps suggesting that the garnet formed through the replacement of spinel. From the textural evidence, it appears unlikely that the garnets could have originated through secondary alteration, but rather seem to have formed through a process in which early magmatic spinels have reacted with late circulating, residual fluids in the final stages of crystallization of the kimberlite magma. Raman spectroscopy provides evidence for low crystallinity in the spinels which is likely to be a result of their partial transformation into andradite during their reaction with a late-stage magmatic (kimberlitic) fluid. The close chemical association of these Ti-rich garnets in TiO2-FeO-CaO space with those reported from ultramafic lamprophyres (UML) is also consistent with results predicted by experimental studies, and possibly implies a genetic link between kimberlite and UML magmas. The occurrence of Ti-rich garnets of similar composition in the Swartruggens orangeite on the Kaapvaal craton in South Africa, as well as in other kimberlites with an orangeitic affinity (e.g. the P-15 kimberlite on the Eastern Dharwar craton in southern India), is inferred to be a reflection of the high Ca- and high Ti-, and the low Al-nature, of the parent magma (i.e. Group II kimberlites).

Abstract: For the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of the pioneering papers that established the basis of plate tectonic, this paper was solicited to illustrate the close relation between tectonics and climate. Amongst the large spectrum of interactions that depict how tectonics modified the climate at geological time steps, we choose to illustrate two major issues: (1) How the "tryptic" climate/long-term carbon cycle/tectonics explains the extraordinary glacial episode (717-635 Ma) occurring during Neoproterozoic era? (2) How major tectonic events (i.e., the slow shrinkage of a huge epicontinental sea and the uplift of large mountains ranges in Asia and Africa) drastically changed the climate and shaped the pattern of present-day monsoons systems. This paper is the result of long-standing collaboration with many researchers from different countries.

Ore Geology Reviews, in press available, 18p. Russia, Siberia deposit - Katugin
Abstract: We report new geological, mineralogical, geochemical and geochronological data about the Katugin Ta-Nb-Y-Zr (REE) deposit, which is located in the Kalar Ridge of Eastern Siberia (the southern part of the Siberian Craton). All these data support a magmatic origin of the Katugin rare-metal deposit rather than the previously proposed metasomatic fault-related origin. Our research has proved the genetic relation between ores of the Katugin deposit and granites of the Katugin complex. We have studied granites of the eastern segment of the Eastern Katugin massif, including arfvedsonite, aegirine-arfvedsonite and aegirine granites. These granites belong to the peralkaline type. They are characterized by high alkali content (up to 11.8?wt% Na2O?+?K2O), extremely high iron content (FeO*/(FeO*?+?MgO)?=?0.96-1.00), very high content of most incompatible elements - Rb, Y, Zr, Hf, Ta, Nb, Th, U, REEs (except for Eu) and F, and low concentrations of CaO, MgO, P2O5, Ba, and Sr. They demonstrate negative and CHUR-close eNd(t) values of 0.0…-1.9. We suggest that basaltic magmas of OIB type (possibly with some the crustal contamination) represent a dominant part of the granitic source. Moreover, the fluorine-enriched fluid phases could provide an additional source of the fluorine. We conclude that most of the mineralization of the Katugin ore deposit occurred during the magmatic stage of the alkaline granitic source melt. The results of detailed mineralogical studies suggest three major types of ores in the Katugin deposit: Zr mineralization, Ta-Nb-REE mineralization and aluminum fluoride mineralization. Most of the ore minerals crystallized from the silicate melt during the magmatic stage. The accessory cryolites in granites crystallized from the magmatic silicate melt enriched in fluorine. However, cryolites in large veins and lens-like bodies crystallized in the latest stage from the fluorine enriched melt. The zircons from the ores in the aegirine-arfvedsonite granite have been dated at 2055?±?7?Ma. This age is close to the previously published 2066?±?6?Ma zircon age of the aegirine-arfvedsonite granites, suggesting that the formation of the Katugin rare-metal deposit is genetically related to the formation of peralkaline granites. We conclude that Katugin rare-metal granites are anorogenic. They can be related to a Paleoproterozoic (~2.05?Ga) mantle plume. As there is no evidence of the 2.05?Ga mantle plume in other areas of southern Siberia, we suggest that the Katugin mineralization occurred on the distant allochtonous terrane, which has been accreted to Siberian Craton later.

Abstract: Based on investigation of Proterozoic mafic dike swarms of the Siberian Craton, we inferred how the geochemical and isotopic characteristics of dike swarms of dolerites of Large Igneous Provinces depend on their distance from the mantle plume head. It has been found that the dolerite parent melts near the mantle plume head correspond to OIB compositions. At significant distances from the plume, the initial melts of dolerites are generated in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, which provides a wide range of their compositions differing from typical OIB and do not indicate directly the genetic relationship of these mafic rocks with the mantle plume.

Abstract: Lamprophyre dykes within the granitoid and charnockite are reported for the first time from the Western Bastar Craton, Chandrapur district, Maharashtra. It shows porphyritic-panidiomorphic texture under a microscope, characterised by the predominance of biotite phenocrysts with less abundance of amphibole and clinopyroxene microphenocryst. The groundmass is composed more of K-feldspars over plagioclase, amphiboles, clinopyroxene, biotite, chlorite, apatite, sphene and magnetite. The mineral chemistry of biotite and magnesio-hornblende is indicative of minette variety of calc-alkaline lamprophyre (CAL), which is further supported by preliminary major oxides and trace element geochemistry. This unique association of CAL with granitoid provides an opportunity to study the spatio-temporal evolution of the lamprophyric magma in relation to the geodynamic perspective of the Bastar Craton.

Evolution of the southwestern Angolan margin: episodic burial and exhumation is more realistic than long term denudation. International Journal of Earth Sciences, Vol. 108, pp. 89-113. Africa, Angola thermochronology
Abstract: There are two main points of view regarding how continental margins evolve. The first one argues that the present-day margins have been developed by long-term denudation since a major exhumation episode, probably driven by rifting or another relevant tectonic event. The second one argues that continental margins underwent alternating burial and exhumation episodes related to crustal tectonic and surface uplift and subsidence. To demonstrate that the proximal domain of the southwestern Angolan margin has evolved in a polycyclic pattern, we present a review of geological and thermochronological information and integrate it with new combined apatite fission-track and (U-Th)/He data from Early Cretaceous volcanic and Precambrian basement samples. We also provide hypotheses on the possible mechanisms able to support the vertical crustal movements of this margin segment, which are also discussed based on some modern rifting models proposed for Central South Atlantic. The central apatite fission-track ages range from 120.6?±?8.9 to 272.9?±?21.6 Ma, with the mean track lengths of approximately 12 µm. The single-grain apatite (U-Th)/He ages vary between 52.2?±?1 and 177.2?±?2.6 Ma. The integration of the thermochronological data set with published geological constraints supports the following time-temperature evolution: (1) heating since the Carboniferous-Permian, (2) cooling onset in the Early Jurassic, (3) heating onset in the Early Cretaceous, (4) cooling onset in the Mid- to Late Cretaceous, (5) heating onset in the Late Cretaceous, and (6) cooling onset in the Oligocene-Miocene. The thermochronological data and the geological constraints, support that the proximal domain of the southwestern Angolan margin was covered in the past by pre-, syn-, and post-rift sediments, which were eroded during succeeding exhumation events. For this margin segment, we show that a development based on long-term denudation is less realistic than one based on burial and exhumation episodes during the last 130 Myr.

Abstract: The Republic of Liberia in West Africa is underlain mostly by Precambrian rocks of Archaean (Liberian) age in the west and of Proterozoic (Eburnean) age in the east. By analogy with similar terranes elsewhere in the world, and in West Africa in particular, the geology of Liberia is favourable for the occurrence of deposits of a wide range of metals and industrial minerals, including gold, iron ore, diamonds, base metals, bauxite, manganese, fluorspar, kyanite and phosphate. Known gold deposits, mostly orogenic in style, occur widely and are commonly associated with north-east-trending regional shear zones. Gold mining commenced at the New Liberty deposit in western Liberia in 2015, while significant gold resources have also been identified at several other sites in both Archaean and Proterozoic terranes. Liberia has large resources of itabirite-type iron ores, most of which are located in the Liberian terrane, and was the largest producer in Africa prior to the onset of civil war in 1989. Production of iron ore is currently restricted to a single mine, Yekepa, in the Nimba Range. Other important deposits, some of them previously mined, include Bong, the Western Cluster, Putu and Goe Fantro. There is a long history of alluvial diamond production in western and central Liberia, together with more than 160 known occurrences of kimberlite. Most of the known kimberlites occur in three clusters of small pipes and abundant dykes, located at Kumgbor, Mano Godua and Weasua, close to the border with Sierra Leone. Many of these are considered to be part of a single province that includes Jurassic age diamondiferous kimberlites in Sierra Leone and Guinea. Deposits and occurrences of a wide range of other metals and industrial minerals are also known. Several of these have been worked on a small scale in the past, mainly by artisanal miners, but most are poorly known in detail with sub-surface information available at only a few localities. By comparison with most other countries in West Africa, the geology of Liberia is poorly known and there has been very little systematic exploration carried out for most commodities other than gold, iron ore and diamonds since the 1960s and 1970s. Further detailed field and laboratory investigations using modern techniques are required to properly evaluate the potential for the occurrence of economic deposits of many minerals and metals in a variety of geological settings. Digital geological, geochemical, geophysical and mineral occurrence datasets, including new national airborne geophysical survey data, provide a sound basis for the identification of new exploration targets, but in almost every part of the country there is a need for new and more detailed geological surveys to underpin mineral exploration.

Abstract: It is now more than 50 years since Tuzo Wilson published his paper asking 'Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?'. This led to the 'Wilson Cycle' concept in which the repeated opening and closing of ocean basins along old orogenic belts is a key process in the assembly and breakup of supercontinents. This implied that the processes of rifting and mountain building somehow pre-conditioned and weakened the lithosphere in these regions, making them susceptible to strain localization during future deformation episodes. Here we provide a retrospective look at the development of the concept, how it has evolved over the past five decades, current thinking and future focus areas. The Wilson Cycle has proved enormously important to the theory and practice of geology and underlies much of what we know about the geological evolution of the Earth and its lithosphere. The concept will no doubt continue to be developed as we gain more understanding of the physical processes that control mantle convection and plate tectonics, and as more data become available from currently less accessible regions.

Abstract: Seismic tomography models reveal two large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) that identify large-scale variations in temperature and composition in the deep mantle. Other characteristics include elevated density, elevated bulk sound speed, and sharp boundaries. We show that properties of LLSVPs can be explained by the presence of small quantities (0.3-3%) of suspended, dense Fe-Ni-S liquid. Trapping of metallic liquid is demonstrated to be likely during the crystallization of a dense basal magma ocean, and retention of such melts is consistent with currently available experimental constraints. Calculated seismic velocities and densities of lower mantle material containing low-abundance metallic liquids match the observed LLSVP properties. Small quantities of metallic liquids trapped at depth provide a natural explanation for primitive noble gas signatures in plume-related magmas. Our model hence provides a mechanism for generating large-scale chemical heterogeneities in Earth's early history and makes clear predictions for future tests of our hypothesis.

Abstract: Carbonate minerals are important hosts of carbon in the crust and mantle with a key role in the transport and storage of carbon in Earth's deep interior over the history of the planet. Whether subducted carbonates efficiently melt and break down due to interactions with reduced phases or are preserved to great depths and ultimately reach the core-mantle boundary remains controversial. In this study, experiments in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LHDAC) on layered samples of dolomite (Mg,?Ca)CO3 and iron at pressure and temperature conditions reaching those of the deep lower mantle show that carbon-iron redox interactions destabilize the MgCO3 component, producing a mixture of diamond, Fe7C3, and (Mg,?Fe)O. However, CaCO3 is preserved, supporting its relative stability in carbonate-rich lithologies under reducing lower mantle conditions. These results constrain the thermodynamic stability of redox-driven breakdown of carbonates and demonstrate progress towards multiphase mantle petrology in the LHDAC at conditions of the lowermost mantle.

Abstract: Nitrogen and carbon are essential elements for life, and their relative abundances in planetary bodies are important for understanding planetary evolution and habitability. The high C/N ratio in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE) relative to chondrites has been difficult to explain through partitioning during core formation and outgassing from molten silicate. Here we propose a new model that may have released nitrogen from the metallic cores of accreting bodies during impacts with the early Earth. Experimental observations of melting in the Fe-N-C system via synchrotron X-ray radiography of samples in a Paris-Edinburgh press reveal that above the liquidus, iron-rich melt and nitrogen-rich liquid coexist at pressures up to at least 6 GPa. The combined effects of N-rich supercritical fluid lost to Earth's atmosphere and/or space as well as N-depleted alloy equilibrating with the magma ocean on its way to the core would increase the BSE C/N ratio to match current estimates.

Effects of composition and pressure on electronic states of iron in bridgmanite. American Mineralogist, Vol. 105, pp. 1030-1039. pdf Mantle redox
Abstract: Electronic states of iron in the lower mantle's dominant mineral, (Mg,Fe,Al)(Fe,Al,Si)O3 bridgmanite, control physical properties of the mantle including density, elasticity, and electrical and thermal conductivity. However, the determination of electronic states of iron has been controversial, in part due to different interpretations of Mössbauer spectroscopy results used to identify spin state, valence state, and site occupancy of iron. We applied energy-domain Mössbauer spectroscopy to a set of four bridgmanite samples spanning a wide range of compositions: 10-50% Fe/total cations, 0-25% Al/total cations, 12-100% Fe3+/total Fe. Measurements performed in the diamond-anvil cell at pressures up to 76 GPa below and above the high to low spin transition in Fe3+ provide a Mössbauer reference library for bridgmanite and demonstrate the effects of pressure and composition on electronic states of iron. Results indicate that although the spin transition in Fe3+ in the bridgmanite B-site occurs as predicted, it does not strongly affect the observed quadrupole splitting of 1.4 mm/s, and only decreases center shift for this site to 0 mm/s at ~70 GPa. Thus center shift can easily distinguish Fe3+ from Fe2+ at high pressure, which exhibits two distinct Mössbauer sites with center shift ~1 mm/s and quadrupole splitting 2.4-3.1 and 3.9 mm/s at ~70 GPa. Correct quantification of Fe3+/total Fe in bridgmanite is required to constrain the effects of composition and redox states in experimental measurements of seismic properties of bridgmanite. In Fe-rich, mixed-valence bridgmanite at deep-mantle-relevant pressures, up to ~20% of the Fe may be a Fe2.5+ charge transfer component, which should enhance electrical and thermal conductivity in Fe-rich heterogeneities at the base of Earth's mantle.

Abstract: We investigate seismic discontinuities in the mantle transition zone (MTZ) by analyzing SS precursors recorded at global seismic stations. Our observations confirm the global existence of the 520-km discontinuity. Although substantial regional depth variations in the 520-km discontinuity are generally correlated with temperature in the mid-MTZ, they cannot be fully explained by the Clapeyron slope of the wadsleyite-ringwoodite phase transition, suggesting both thermal and compositional heterogeneities in the MTZ. A second discontinuity at ~560-km depth, previously interpreted as splitting of the 520-km discontinuity, is most commonly detected in cold subduction zones and hot mantle regions. The depth separation between the 520- and 560-km discontinuities varies from ~80 km in cold regions to ~40 km in hot areas. The exsolution of calcium-perovskite (Ca-pv) from majorite garnet has been proposed to explain the velocity and density changes across the 560-km discontinuity. However, the gradual exsolution of perovskite and partitioning of Ca and Al between perovskite and garnet appear inconsistent with the relatively "sharp" discontinuity in seismic observations and thus need to be revisited in the future. Nevertheless, because the only known transition in major minerals at this depth in the MTZ is the formation of Ca-pv, the existence of the 560-km discontinuity may imply localized high calcium concentrations in the mid-MTZ possibly related to the recycling of oceanic crust.

Middle Eocene CO2 and climate reconstructed from the sediment fill of a subarctic kimberlite Maar. Geology , Vol. 45, 7, pp. 619-622. Canada, Northwest Territories deposit - Giraffe
Abstract: Eocene paleoclimate reconstructions are rarely accompanied by parallel estimates of CO2 from the same locality, complicating assessment of the equilibrium climate response to elevated CO2. We reconstruct temperature, precipitation, and CO2 from latest middle Eocene (ca. 38 Ma) terrestrial sediments in the posteruptive sediment fill of the Giraffe kimberlite in subarctic Canada. Mutual climatic range and oxygen isotope analyses of botanical fossils reveal a humid-temperate forest ecosystem with mean annual temperatures (MATs) more than 17 °C warmer than present and mean annual precipitation ~4× present. Metasequoia stomatal indices and gas-exchange modeling produce median CO2 concentrations of ~630 and ~430 ppm, respectively, with a combined median estimate of ~490 ppm. Reconstructed MATs are more than 6 °C warmer than those produced by Eocene climate models forced at 560 ppm CO2. Estimates of regional climate sensitivity, expressed as ?MAT per CO2 doubling above preindustrial levels, converge on a value of ~13 °C, underscoring the capacity for exceptional polar amplification of warming and hydrological intensification under modest CO2 concentrations once both fast and slow feedbacks become expressed.

Abstract: In this paper we present summation of eighteen year's investigation of the all gold and diamond-bearing astropipes of Mongolia. Four astropipe structures are exemplified by the Agit Khangay (10 km in diameter, 470 38' N; 960 05' E), Khuree Mandal (D=11 km; 460 28' N; 980 25' E), Bayan Khuree (D=1 km; 440 06' N; 1090 36' E), and Tsenkher (D=7 km; 980 21' N; 430 36' E) astropipes of Mongolia. Detailed geological and gas-geochemical investigation of the astropipe structures show that diamond genesis is an expression of collision of the lithospheric mantle with the explosion process initiated in an impact collapse meteor crater. The term "astropipes" (Dorjnamjaa et al., 2010, 2011) is a neologism and new scientific discovery in Earth science and these structures are unique in certain aspects. The Mongolian astropipes are genuine "meteorite crater" structures but they also contain kimberlite diamonds and gold. Suevite-like rocks from the astropipes contain such minerals, as olivine, coesite, moissanite (0,6 mm), stishovite, coesite, kamacite,tektite, khamaravaevite (mineral of meteorite titanic carbon), graphite-2H, khondrite, picroilmenite, pyrope, phlogopite, khangaite (tektite glass, 1,0-3,0 mm in size), etc. Most panned samples and hand specimens contain fine diamonds with octahedrol habit (0, 2-2,19 mm, 6,4 mg or 0,034-0,1 carat) and gold (0,1-5 g/t). Of special interest is the large amount of the black magnetic balls (0,05-5,0 mm) are characterized by high content of Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Mg, Cd, Ga, Cl, Al, Si, K. Meanwhile, shatter cones (size approx. 1.0 m) which are known from many meteorite craters on the Earth as being typical of impact craters were first described by us Khuree Mandal and Tsenkher astropipe structures. All the described meteorite craters posses reliable topographic, geological, mineralogical, geochemical, and aerospace mapping data, also some geophysical and petrological features (especially shock metamorphism) have been found, all of which indicate that these structures are a proven new type of gold-diamond-bearing impact structure, termed here "astropipes". The essence of the phenomenon is mantle manifestation and plume of a combined nuclear-magma-palingenesis interaction.

Abstract: We present Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for calculation of thermodynamic functions and P-V-T properties of MgO, diamond and 9 metals, Al, Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W, depending on temperature and volume or temperature and pressure. The spreadsheets include the most common pressure markers used in in situ experiments with diamond anvil cell and multianvil techniques. The calculations are based on the equation of state formalism via the Helmholtz free energy. The program was developed using Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Excel and is a time-efficient tool to evaluate volume, pressure and other thermodynamic functions using T-P and T-V data only as input parameters. This application is aimed to solve practical issues of high pressure experiments in geosciences and mineral physics.

Abstract: The Vuoriyarvi Devonian alkaline-ultramafic complex (northwest Russia) contains magnesiocarbonatites with rare earth mineralization localized in the Petyayan-Vara area. High concentrations of rare earth elements are found in two types of these rocks: (a) ancylite-dominant magnesiocarbonatites with ancylite-baryte-strontianite-calcite-quartz (±late Ca-Fe-Mg carbonates) ore assemblage, i.e., "ancylite ores"; (b) breccias of magnesiocarbonatites with a quartz-bastnäsite matrix (±late Ca-Fe-Mg carbonates), i.e., "bastnäsite ores." We studied fluid inclusions in quartz and late-stage Ca-Fe-Mg carbonates from these ore assemblages. Fluid inclusion data show that ore-related mineralization was formed in several stages. We propose the following TX evolution scheme for ore-related processes: (1) the formation of ancylite ores began under the influence of highly concentrated (>50 wt.%) sulphate fluids (with thenardite and anhydrite predominant in the daughter phases of inclusions) at a temperature above300-350 °C; (2) the completion of the formation of ancylite ores and their auto-metasomatic alteration occurred under the influence of concentrated (40-45 wt.%) carbonate fluids (shortite and synchysite-Ce in fluid inclusions) at a temperature above 250-275 °C; (3) bastnäsite ores deposited from low-concentrated (20-30 wt.%) hydrocarbonate-chloride fluids (halite, nahcolite, and/or gaylussite in fluid inclusions) at a temperature of 190-250 °C or higher. Later hydrothermal mineralization was related to the low-concentration hydrocarbonate-chloride fluids (<15 wt.% NaCl-equ.) at 150-200 °C. The presented data show the specific features of the mineral and fluid evolution of ore-related late-stage hydrothermal rare earth element (REE) mineralization of the Vuoriyarvi alkaline-ultramafic complex.

Abstract: The Ust-Chulman apatite ore body is situated within the Nimnyrskaya apatite zone at the Aldan shield in Russia. The latest data confirm the carbonatitic origin of the Seligdar apatite deposit (Prokopyev et al. in Ore Geol Rev 81:296-308, 2017). The results of our investigations demonstrate that the magnetite-apatite-dolomitic rocks of the Ust-Chulman are highly similar to Seligdar-type dolomitic carbonatites in terms of the mineralogy and the fluid regime of formation. The ilmenite and spinel mineral phases occur as solid solutions with magnetite, and support the magmatic origin of the Ust-Chulman ores. The chemical composition of REE- and SO3-bearing apatite crystals and, specifically, monazite-(Ce) mineralisation and the formation of Nb-rutile, late hydrothermal sulphate minerals (barite, anhydrite) and haematite are typical for carbonatite complexes. The fluid inclusions study revealed similarities to the evolutionary trend of the Seligdar carbonatites that included changes of the hydrothermal solutions from highly concentrated chloride to medium-low concentrated chloride-sulphate and oxidized carbonate-ferrous.

Abstract: We present results of U-Pb (SHRIMP II) and Ar-Ar geochronological study of the rocks of the Chuktukon massif, which is part of the Chadobets alkaline-carbonatite complex, and of the weathering crust developed after them. Perovskite from picrites and monazite from the weathering crust were dated by the U-Pb (SHRIMP II) method, and rippite from carbonatites, by the Ar-Ar method. Rippite has first been used as a geochronometer. The estimated ages (252 ± 12 and 231 ± 2.7 Ma) testify to two magmatism pulses close in time (within the estimation error) to the stages of alkaline magmatism in the Siberian Platform (250-245 and 238-234 Ma). These pulses characterize, most likely, the processes accompanying and completing the activity of the mantle superplume that formed the Siberian Igneous Province at 250-248 Ma. The monazite-estimated age (102.6 ± 2.9 Ma) reflects the time of formation of the ore-bearing weathering crust on the massif rocks.

Journal of the Geological Society of India, Vol. 90, 5, pp. 524-530. Russia carbonatite
Abstract: Secondary multiphase inclusions were studied in olivine from olivine-pyrochlore varieties of calcite carbonatites of the Belaya Zima alkaline complex, Eastern Sayan, Siberia, Russia. The inclusions form trails cross-cutting the host olivine. Their composition varies from carbonate to silicate-carbonate species. Multiphase silicate-carbonate inclusions contain Na-Ca-carbonates (shortite, nyerereite), Na-Mg-carbonates (northupite, eitelite, bradleyite), common carbonates (calcite, dolomite), Ba-Sr-rich carbonates (olekminskite, burbankite, strontianite), tetraferriphlogopite, magnetite, humite-clinohumite and other mineral phases. Na-Ca-carbonates, tetraferriphlogopite, humiteclinohumite and magnetite are omnipresent and dominant phases within the inclusions. The phase composition of secondary olivinehosted inclusions seems to reflect evolutionary features for the Belaya Zima carbonatites at their late stages of formation. During crystallization calciocarbonatite melt gradually evolved toward enrichment in alkalis (mainly, in sodium) and volatile components (Cl, F and H2O).

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, Vol. 174, 4, doi.org/10. 1007/s00410-018-1530-x 13p. Mantle carbonatite
Abstract: Here we present an experimental study of the distribution of a broad range of trace elements between carbonatite melt, calcite and fluorite. The experiments were performed in the CaCO3 + CaF2 + Na2CO3 ± Ca3(PO4)2 synthetic system at 650-900 °C and 100 MPa using rapid-quench cold-seal pressure vessels. Starting mixtures were composed of reagent-grade oxides, carbonates, Ca3(PO4)2 and CaF2 doped with 1 wt% REE-HFSE mixture. The results show that the distribution coefficients of all the analyzed trace elements for calcite and fluorite are below 1, with the highest values observed for Sr (0.48-0.8 for calcite and 0.14-0.3 for fluorite) and Y (0.18-0.3). The partition coefficients of REE gradually increase with increasing atomic number from La to Lu. The solubility of Zr, Hf, Nb and Ta in the synthetic F-rich carbonatitic melts, which were used in our experiments, is low and limited by crystallization of baddeleyite and Nb-bearing perovskite.

Abstract: The petrogenesis of temporally and spatially associated carbonatitic and deeply derived carbonated alkaline silicate magmas provides an opportunity to gain insights into the nature of the deepest lithospheric mantle. The Chuktukon massif, which is part of the Chadobets alkaline ultramafic carbonatite complex (Chadobets upland, Siberian craton) is a carbonatite-melilitite-damtjernite intrusion, whose emplacement was coeval with the Siberian Traps large igneous province (LIP). In this study, the sources of the primary melts are examined, the petrogenetic evolution of the complex is reconstructed and the relationship with the Siberian LIP is also discussed. Isotopic and geochemical information indicate that the source for the Chuktukon primary melts was isotopically moderately depleted and the primarymelts were formed by lowdegree partial melting of garnet carbonated peridotite. Hydrothermal processes caused 18O- and 13C- enrichment. The weathering process was accompanied by trace element re-distribution and enrichment of the weathering crust in Zn, Th, U, Nb, Pb and REE, relative to the Chuktukon rocks and a change in radiogenic (Sr, Nd) isotope compositions.

Ar-Ar geochronology and petrogenesis of the Mushgai-Khudag alkaline-carbonatite complex 9 southern Mongolia). Lithos, Vol. 372-372, 105675 15p. Pdf Asia, Mongolia carbonatite
Abstract: The Mushgai-Khudag alkaline-carbonatite complex, located in southern Mongolia within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), comprises a broad range of volcanic and subvolcanic alkaline silicate rocks (melanephelinite-trachyte and shonkinite-alkaline syenite, respectively). Magnetite-apatite rocks, carbonatites, and fluorite mineralization are also manifested in this area. The complex formed between 145 and 133 Ma and is contemporaneous with late Mesozoic alkaline-carbonatite magmatism within the CAOB. Major and trace element characteristics of silicate rocks in the Mushgai-Khudag complex imply that these rocks were formed by the fractional crystallization of alkaline ultramafic parental magma. Magnetite-apatite rocks may be a product of silicate-Ca-Fe-P liquid immiscibility that took place during the alkaline syenite crystallization stage. The Mushgai-Khudag rocks have variable and moderately radiogenic Sr (87Sr/86Sr(i) = 0.70532-0.70614), ?Nd(t) = -1.23 to 1.25) isotopic compositions. LILE/HFSE values and SrNd isotope compositions indicate that the parental melts of Mushgai-Khudag were derived from a lithospheric mantle source that was affected by a metasomatic agent in the form a mixture of subducted oceanic crust and its sedimentary components. The d18OSMOW and d18CPDB values for calcites in carbonatites range from 16.8‰ to 19.2‰ and from -3.9‰ to 2.0‰, respectively. CO covariations in calcites of the Mushgai-Khudag carbonatites can be explained by the slight host limestone assimilation.

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, Vol. 154, pp. 354-368. Russia, Yakutia carbonatite -Seligdar
Abstract: The Paleoproterozoic Seligdar magnesiocarbonatite intrusion of the Aldan-Stanovoy shield in Russia underwent extensive postmagmatic hydrothermal alteration and metamorphic events. This study comprises new isotopic (Sr, Nd, C and O) data, whole-rock major and trace element compositions and trace element characteristics of the major minerals to gain a better understanding of the source and the formation process of the carbonatites. The Seligdar carbonatites have high concentrations of P2O5 (up to 18?wt%) and low concentrations of Na, K, Sr and Ba. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of these carbonatites display significant enrichments of LREE relative to HREE with an average La/Ybcn ratio of 95. Hydrothermal and metamorphic overprints changed the trace element characteristics of the carbonatites and their minerals. These alteration processes were responsible for Sr loss and the shifting of the Sr isotopic compositions towards more radiogenic values. The altered carbonatites are further characterized by distinct 18O- and 13C-enrichments compared to the primary igneous carbonatites. The alteration most likely resulted from both the percolation of crustal-derived hydrothermal fluids and subsequent metamorphic processes accompanied by interaction with limestone-derived CO2. The narrow range of negative eNd(T) values indicates that the Seligdar carbonatites are dominated by a homogenous enriched mantle source component that was separated from the depleted mantle during the Archean.

Abstract: Domain ontologies assume the role of representing, in a formal way, a consensual knowledge of a community over a domain. This task is especially difficult in a wide domain like Geology, which is composed of diversified science resting on a large variety of conceptual models that were developed over time. The meaning of the concepts used by the various professionals often depends on the particular vision that they have of a domain according to their background and working habits. Ontology development in Geology thus necessitates a drastic elucidation of the concepts and vocabulary used by geologists. This article intends to contribute to solving these difficulties by proposing a core ontology named GeoCore Ontology resting on the BFO top ontology, specially designed for describing scientific fields. GeoCore Ontology contains well-founded definitions of a limited set of general concepts within the Geology field that are currently considered by all geologists whatever their skill. It allows modelers to separately consider a geological object, the substance that constitutes it, the boundaries that limit it and the internal arrangement of the matter inside it. The core ontology also allows the description of the existentially dependent qualities attached to a geological object and the geological process that generated it in a particular geological age. This small set of formally defined and described concepts combined with concepts from BFO provides a backbone for deriving by subsumption more specialized geological concepts and also constitutes a baseline for integrating different existent domain ontologies within the Geology domain. The GeoCore ontology and the methodology that we used for building it, provide solutions for unveiling major misunderstanding regarding the concepts that are commonly used for formulating geological interpretations. This will facilitate the communication of this information to external Geology users and its integration in domain applications.

Abstract: The Saguenay City alkali province (~ 580 Ma) comprises the Saint-Honoré alkaline complex (carbonatite-syenite), lesser-known minor subsurface carbonatite intrusions and several sets of lamprophyre (sl) dykes. Flat-lying, north-dipping dykes (l-100 cm) that crop out close the Saguenay River/Fjord were formed by multiple intrusions of a very fluid magma. The dykes are continuously variable in composition from carbonatite to ultramafic lamprophyre. Olivine phenocrysts (l-3 mm) are pseudomorphed by serpentine but phlogopite phenocrysts (l-5 mm) are well preserved in a matrix of a fine-grained serpentine, chlorite and carbonate. A few dykes are phoscorites, with abundant phenocrysts of phlogopite, oxides, apatite and accessory baddeleyite. In all dykes, the matrix may have been originally fine-grained or even glassy, and subsequently altered by water dissolved in the original magma. Several dykes contain abundant xenoliths: mostly crustal and possibly one of mantle origin. Low-carbonate dykes have a narrow range in Sr isotopes (0.7030-0.7033) versus the wider range of high-carbonate dykes (0.7032-0.7046), but this distinction is not seen in eNd (3.4-4.9). Overall, it appears that each batch of magma was small and came from independent mantle sources. Recently, we found a new set of vertical, NW-directed lamprophyres around the Baie des Ha! Ha!, about 15 km south of the main swarm. They have phlogopite phenocrysts to 50 mm and olivine pseudomorphs. Their contrasting orientation suggests that they have a different age to the Saguenay River dykes, but they have yet to be dated. The overall pattern is of an extensive mantle source that delivered small volumes of volatile-rich ultramafic magmas over a long period. We consider that some of these magma batches accumulated and differentiated in a magma chamber beneath the Saint-Honoré alkaline complex, whereas others rose uninterrupted to high levels of the crust where they were emplaced as dykes.

Abstract: Highly evolved alkaline/peralkaline igneous rocks host deposits of rare earth elements (REE) including Y as well as Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta , U and Th. The host rocks spanning from silica-undersaturated (nepheline syenites) to silica-oversaturated (granites) occur in intraplate tectonic environments, mainly in continental settings and are typically associated with rifting, faulting and/or crustal extension. They range in age from Neoarchean/Paleoproterozoic to Mesozoic, but several significant deposits are of Mesoproterozoic age. The deposits/prospects can be subdivided into three types. The first is hosted by nepheline syenitic rocks of large, layered alkaline intrusions where the mineralization commonly occurs in layers rich in REE-bearing minerals which mostly show cumulate textures (e.g., Thor Lake/Nechalacho, Canada; Ilimaussaq, Greenland; Lovozero, Russia; Kipawa, Canada; Norra Kärr, Sweden; Pilanesberg, South Africa). The second type includes mineralization in peralkaline granitic rocks where REE-bearing minerals are usually disseminated. The mineralization is typically hosted by pegmatites (including the NYF-type), felsic dikes and minor granitic intrusions (e.g., Strange Lake, Canada; Khaldzan-Buregtey, Mongolia; Ghurayyah, Saudi Arabia; Bokan, Alaska, United States). The third type is disseminated and very fine-grained and hosted by peralkaline felsic volcanic/volcaniclastic rocks, mostly of trachytic composition (e.g., Dubbo Zirconia and Brockman/Hastings, Australia). The bulk of the REE is present in ore/accessory minerals which in some mineralized zones, particularly in cumulate rocks from alkaline complexes, can reach >10 vol.%. Mineralization is composed of a variety of REE-bearing minerals which frequently show complex replacement textures. They include fluorocarbonates, phosphates, silicates and oxides. Economically most important are bastnäsite, monazite, xenotime, loparite, eudialyte, synchysite and parasite. Many other minerals are either sparse or it is difficult with present technology to profitably extract REE from them on a commercial scale. Compared to carbonatite-hosted REE deposits, the REE mineralization in alkaline/peralkaline complexes has lower light REE concentrations but has commonly higher contents of heavy REE and Y and shows a relative depletion of Eu. Elevated concentrations of U and Th of the ore assemblages make gamma-ray (radiometric) surveys an important exploration tool. The host peralkaline (granitic, trachytic and nepheline syenitic) magmas undergo extensive fractional crystallization which is protracted in part due to high contents of halogens and alkalis. The REE mineralization in these rocks is related to late stages of magma evolution, and typically records two mineralization periods. The first produces the primary magmatic ore assemblages which are associated with the crystallization of fractionated peralkaline magma rich in rare metals. This assemblage is commonly overprinted during the second period by the late magmatic to hydrothermal fluids which remobilize and enrich the original ore. The parent magmas are derived from a metasomatically enriched mantle-related lithospheric source by very low degrees of partial melting triggered probably by uplift (adiabatic) or mantle plume activity. The rare metal deposits/mineralization related to peralkaline igneous rocks represent one of the most economically important resources of heavy REE including Y. In addition to REE, some of these deposits contain economically valuable concentrations of other rare metals including Zr, Nb, Ta, Hf, Be, U and Th as well as phosphates.

Abstract: On the early Earth, oceanic plateaux similar to present-day Iceland are thought to have evolved into less dense microcontinents as they thickened by continued melt intrusion and crustal fractionation. These earliest continents may have been so weak on a hotter Earth that they collapsed laterally in response to thickening by further magmatic growth or tectonic imbrication. This continental spreading is likely to have resulted in the development of pervasive ductile strain fabrics in the deeper crust, which, if preserved, could generate seismic reflections. Here we present seismic images from the ancient core of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Australia that reveal shallowly dipping to horizontal reflections that pervade the middle and lower crust. We interpret these reflective fabrics as the result of widespread lateral crustal flow during the late stage of craton evolution approximately 2.66 to 2.61?billion years ago, which coincided with the widespread intrusion of high-temperature crustal melts, as thickened early continental crust collapsed. The consequent subsidence of large regions of the upper crust, including volcanic and sedimentary greenstone rocks, in the hanging walls of listric mid-lower crustal ductile flow fabrics caused these rocks to drop beneath the granitic melts rising towards the surface, and did not involve Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities within a mostly mobile crust.

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Vol. 428, pp. 108-119. Russia, Siberia Deposit - Obnazhennaya
Abstract: The formation age of the lithospheric mantle of the Siberian craton (one of the largest on Earth) is not well established; nearly all published whole-rock Re–Os data are for mantle xenoliths from a single kimberlite in the center of the craton (Udachnaya). We report Re–Os isotope and PGE concentration data for 19 spinel and garnet peridotite xenoliths from the Obnazhennaya kimberlite in the northeastern portion of the craton. Most samples in this study, and many Obnazhennaya peridotites in general, show a combination of relatively low Al2O3 (0.1–2%) with high CaO (1.4–4%) concentrations. Only four dunites and harzburgites in our sample suite have low contents of both Al2O3 and CaO (0.1–0.8%), but their relatively low Mg# (0.888–0.919) and highly variable Os concentrations (0.6–35 ppb) suggest they may have formed in melt migration channels rather than as residues of partial melt extraction. A group of six Ca-rich (2.0–3.2% CaO) peridotites yields the highest Re–Os model ages (mean TRD = 2.8 Ga, mean TMA = 3.5 Ga). Eight peridotites with low to moderate Al2O3 (<2%) and Mg# =0.91, including three low-Ca harzburgites, yield lower Re–Os model ages (mean TRD = 1.9 Ga, mean TMA = 2.2 Ga). The remainder of the samples may not yield meaningful TRD ages because they are not refractory (Al2O3 >2.6% and/or Mg# =0.90). We interpret these results as evidence for a two-stage formation of the lithospheric mantle. The peridotites formed at the two stages show very similar chemical compositions. The enrichment in Ca, which we attribute to widespread post-melting metasomatism by carbonate-rich melts, may have taken place either at the end of the Archean melting event, when at least one Ca–Al-rich peridotite was formed, or later. The combined Re–Os age data on xenoliths from Obnazhennaya and Udachnaya suggest that the lithospheric mantle beneath the Siberian craton was not formed in a single event, but grew in at least two events, one in the late Archean and the other in the Paleoproterozoic. This study further indicates that the formation of highly melt-depleted lithospheric mantle was not limited to the Archean, but continued well into the Paleoproterozoic when the Siberian craton was stabilized.

Abstract: We present new Zn elemental and isotope data on seventeen fertile and refractory mantle peridotite xenoliths. Eleven fertile peridotites are garnet and spinel lherzolites from Vitim and Tariat (Siberia and Mongolia) and represent some of the most pristine fertile peridotites available. Six refractory peridotites are spinel harzburgites from the Udachnaya kimberlite (Siberian craton) that are nearly pristine residues of high-degree polybaric melting at high pressure (7-4 GPa). Geochemical data suggest that Zn isotopic compositions in the peridotites have not been affected by post-melting processes such as metasomatism, contamination by the host-magmas or alteration. The fertile peridotites have uniform Zn concentrations (59±2 ppm59±2 ppm) and Zn isotopic compositions with d66Zn (relative to JMC-Lyon-03-0749l)?=?+0.30?±?0.03‰ consistent with the Bulk Silicate Earth estimates of d66Zn?=?+0.28?±?0.05‰ (Chen et al., 2013). The refractory peridotites have Zn concentrations ranging from 30 to 48 ppm and d66Zn from +0.10±0.01‰+0.10±0.01‰ to +0.18±0.01‰+0.18±0.01‰ with an average of +0.14±0.03‰+0.14±0.03‰. Our data suggest that the lithospheric mantle has a heterogeneous Zn isotopic composition. Modeling of Zn isotope partitioning during partial melting of fertile mantle suggests that high degrees of melt extraction (>30%) may significantly fractionate Zn isotopes (up to 0.16‰) and that during mantle melting, Zn concentrations and isotopic compositions are mainly controlled by the stability of clinopyroxene and garnet within the melting residue. Because the stability of clinopyroxene and garnet is mainly pressure dependent we suggest that both the depth and the degrees of melt extraction may control Zn isotope fractionation during mantle melting.

Russia, Siberia craton, geochronology
Abstract: We report the concentrations ([Li]) and isotopic compositions of Li in mineral separates and bulk rocks obtained by MC-ICPMS for 14 previously studied garnet and spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Udachnaya kimberlite in the central Siberian craton as well as major and trace element compositions for a new suite of 13 deformed garnet peridotites. The deformed Udachnaya peridotites occur at > 5 GPa; they are metasomatized residues of melt extraction, which as a group experienced greater modal and chemical enrichments than coarse peridotites. We identify two sub-groups of the deformed peridotites: (a) mainly cryptically metasomatized (similar to coarse peridotites) with relatively low modal cpx (< 6%) and garnet (< 7%), low Ca and high Mg#, sinusoidal REE patterns in garnet, and chemically unequilibrated garnet and cpx; (b) modally metasomatized with more cpx and garnet, higher Ca, Fe and Ti, and equilibrated garnet and cpx. The chemical enrichments are not proportional to deformation degrees. The deformation in the lower lithosphere is caused by a combination of localized stress, heating and fluid ingress from the pathways of ascending proto-kimberlite melts, with metasomatic media evolving due to reactions with wall rocks. Mg-rich olivine in spinel and coarse garnet Udachnaya peridotites has 1.2-1.9 ppm Li and d7Li of 1.2-5.0‰, i.e. close to olivine in equilibrated fertile to depleted off-craton mantle peridotites from literature data, whereas olivine from the deformed peridotites has higher [Li] (2.4-7.5 ppm) and a broader range of d7Li (1.8-11.6‰), which we attribute to pre-eruption metasomatism. [Li] in opx is higher than in coexisting olivine while ?7LiOl-Opx (d7LiOl - d7LiOpx) ranges from - 6.6 to 7.8‰, indicating disequilibrium inter-mineral [Li] and Li-isotope partitioning. We relate these Li systematics to interaction of lithospheric peridotites with fluids or melts that are either precursors of kimberlite magmatism or products of their fractionation and/or reaction with host mantle. The melts rich in Na and carbonates infiltrated, heated and weakened wall-rock peridotites to facilitate their deformation as well as produce high [Li] and variable, but mainly high, d7Li in olivine. The carbonate-rich melts preferentially reacted with the opx without achieving inter-mineral equilibrium because opx is consumed by such melts, and because of small volumes and uneven distribution of the metasomatic media, as well as short time spans between the melt infiltration and the capture of the wall-rock fragments by incoming portions of ascending kimberlite magma as xenoliths. Trapped interstitial liquid solidified as cryptic components responsible for high [Li] and the lack of d7Li balance between olivine and opx, and bulk rocks. Unaltered d26Mg values (0.20-0.26‰) measured in several olivine separates show no effects of the metasomatism on Mg-isotopes, apparently due to high Mg in the peridotites.

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, in press available, 46p. Russia, Siberia deposit - Obnazhennaya
Abstract: The Obnazhennaya kimberlite in the NE Siberian craton hosts a most unusual cratonic xenolith suite, with common rocks rich in pyroxenes and garnet, and no sheared peridotites. We report petrographic and chemical data for whole rocks (WR) and minerals of 20 spinel and garnet peridotites from Obnazhennaya with Re-depletion Os isotope ages of 1.8-2.9 Ga (Ionov et al., 2015a) as well as 2 pyroxenites. The garnet-bearing rocks equilibrated at 1.6-2.8 GPa and 710-1050°C. Some xenoliths contain vermicular spinel-pyroxene aggregates with REE patterns in clinopyroxene mimicking those of garnet. The peridotites show significant scatter of Mg# (0.888-0.924), Cr2O3 (0.2-1.4 wt.%) and high NiO (0.3-0.4 wt.%). None are pristine melting residues. Low-CaO-Al2O3 (=0.9 wt.%) dunites and harzburgites are melt-channel materials. Peridotites with low to moderate Al2O3 (0.4-1.8 wt.%) usually have CaO > Al2O3, and some have pockets of calcite texturally equilibrated with olivine and garnet. Such carbonates, exceptional in mantle xenoliths and reported here for the first time for the Siberian mantle, provide direct evidence for modal makeover and Ca and LREE enrichments by ephemeral carbonate-rich melts. Peridotites rich in CaO and Al2O3 (2.7-8.0 wt.%) formed by reaction with silicate melts. We infer that the mantle lithosphere beneath Obnazhennaya, initially formed in the Mesoarchean, has been profoundly modified. Pervasive inter-granular percolation of highly mobile and reactive carbonate-rich liquids may have reduced the strength of the mantle lithosphere leading the way for reworking by silicate melts. The latest events before the kimberlite eruption were the formation of the carbonate-phlogopite pockets, fine-grained pyroxenite veins and spinel-pyroxene symplectites. The reworked lithospheric sections are preserved at Obnazhennaya, but similar processes could erode lithospheric roots in the SE Siberian craton (Tok) and the North China craton, where ancient melting residues and reworked garnet-bearing peridotites are absent.The modal, chemical and Os-isotope compositions of the Obnazhennaya xenoliths produced by reaction of refractory peridotites with melts are very particular (high Ca/Al, no Mg#-Al correlations, highly variable Cr, low 187Os/188Os, continuous modal range from olivine-rich to low-olivine peridotites, wehrlites and websterites) and distinct from those of fertile lherzolites in off-craton xenoliths and peridotite massifs. These features argue against the concept of 'refertilization' of cratonic and other refractory peridotites by mantle-derived melts as a major mechanism to form fertile to moderately depleted lherzolites in continental lithosphere. The Obnazhennaya xenoliths represent a natural rock series produced by 'refertilization', but include no rocks equivalent in modal, major and trace element to the fertile lherzolites. This study shows that 'refertilization' yields broad, continuous ranges of modal and chemical compositions with common wehrlites and websterites that are rare among off-craton xenoliths.

Abstract: Plate tectonics and mantle plumes are two of the most fundamental solid-Earth processes that have operated through much of Earth history. For the past 300 million years, mantle plumes are known to derive mostly from two large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) above the core-mantle boundary, referred to as the African and Pacific superplumes, but their possible connection with plate tectonics is debated. Here, we demonstrate that transition elements (Ni, Cr, and Fe/Mn) in basaltic rocks can be used to trace plume-related magmatism through Earth history. Our analysis indicates the presence of a direct relationship between the intensity of plume magmatism and the supercontinent cycle, suggesting a possible dynamic coupling between supercontinent and superplume events. In addition, our analysis shows a consistent sudden drop in MgO, Ni and Cr at ~3.2-3.0 billion years ago, possibly indicating an abrupt change in mantle temperature at the start of global plate tectonics.

Abstract: The most dominant features in the present-day lower mantle are the two antipodal African and Pacific large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs). How and when these two structures formed, and whether they are fixed and long lived through Earth history or dynamic and linked to the supercontinent cycles, remain first-order geodynamic questions. Hotspots and large igneous provinces (LIPs) are mostly generated above LLSVPs, and it is widely accepted that the African LLSVP existed by at least ca. 200 Ma beneath the supercontinent Pangea. Whereas the continental LIP record has been used to decipher the spatial and temporal variations of plume activity under the continents, plume records of the oceanic realm before ca. 170 Ma are mostly missing due to oceanic subduction. Here, we present the first compilation of an Oceanic Large Igneous Provinces database (O-LIPdb), which represents the preserved oceanic LIP and oceanic island basalt occurrences preserved in ophiolites. Using this database, we are able to reconstruct and compare the record of mantle plume activity in both the continental and oceanic realms for the past 2 b.y., spanning three supercontinent cycles. Time-series analysis reveals hints of similar cyclicity of the plume activity in the continent and oceanic realms, both exhibiting a periodicity of ~500 m.y. that is comparable to the supercontinent cycle, albeit with a slight phase delay. Our results argue for dynamic LLSVPs where the supercontinent cycle and global subduction geometry control the formation and locations of the plumes.
2020 Doucet, L.S. Doucet, L.S., Xu, Y., Klaessens, D., Hui, H., Ionov, D.A., Mattielli, N. Decoupled water and iron enrichments in the cratonic mantle: a study on peridotite xenoliths from Tok, SE Siberian craton. American Mineralogist, Vol. 105, pp. 803-819. Russia, Siberia peridotites
Abstract: Water and iron are believed to be key constituents controlling the strength and density of the lithosphere and, therefore, play a crucial role in the long-term stability of cratons. On the other hand, metasomatism can modify the water and iron abundances in the mantle and possibly triggers thermo-mechanical erosion of cratonic keels. Whether local or large scale processes control water distribution in cratonic mantle remains unclear, calling for further investigation. Spinel peridotite xenoliths in alkali basalts of the Cenozoic Tok volcanic field sampled the lithospheric mantle beneath the southeastern margin of the Siberian Craton. The absence of garnet-bearing peridotite among the xenoliths, together with voluminous eruptions of basaltic magma, suggests that the craton margin, in contrast to the central part, lost its deep keel. The Tok peridotites experienced extensive and complex metasomatic reworking by evolved, Ca-Fe-rich liquids that transformed refractory harzburgite to lherzolite and wehrlite. We used polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to obtain water content in olivine, orthopyroxene (Opx), and clinopyroxene (Cpx) of 14 Tok xenoliths. Olivine, with a water content of 0-3 ppm H2O, was severely degassed, probably during emplacement and cooling of the host lava flow. Orthopyroxene (49-106 ppm H2O) and clinopyroxene (97-300 ppm H2O) are in equilibrium. The cores of the pyroxene grains, unlike olivine, experienced no water loss due to dehydration or addition attributable to interaction with the host magma. The water contents of Opx and Cpx are similar to those from the Kaapvaal, Tanzania, and North China cratons, but the Tok Opx has less water than previously studied Opx from the central Siberian craton (Udachnaya, 28-301 ppm; average 138 ppm). Melting models suggest that the water contents of Tok peridotites are higher than in melting residues, and argue for a post-melting (metasomatic) origin. Moreover, the water contents in Opx and Cpx of Tok peridotites are decoupled from iron enrichments or other indicators of melt metasomatism (e.g., CaO and P2O5). Such decoupling is not seen in the Udachnaya and Kaapvaal peridotites but is similar to observations on Tanzanian peridotites. Our data suggest that iron enrichments in the southeastern Siberian craton mantle preceded water enrichment. Pervasive and large-scale, iron enrichment in the lithospheric mantle may strongly increase its density and initiate a thermo-magmatic erosion. By contrast, the distribution of water in xenoliths is relatively "recent" and was controlled by local metasomatic processes that operate shortly before the volcanic eruption. Hence, water abundances in minerals of Tok mantle xenoliths appear to represent a snapshot of water in the vicinity of the xenolith source regions.

Abstract: Progressive mantle melting during the Earth's earliest evolution led to the formation of a depleted mantle and a continental crust enriched in highly incompatible elements. Re-enrichment of Earth's mantle can occur when continental crustal materials begin to founder into the mantle by either subduction or, to a lesser degree, by delamination processes, profoundly affecting the mantle's trace element and volatile compositions. Deciphering when mantle re-enrichment/refertilization became a global-scale process would reveal the onset of efficient mass transfer of crust to the mantle and potentially when plate tectonic processes became operative on a global-scale. Here we document the onset of mantle re-enrichment/refertilization by comparing the abundances of petrogenetically significant isotopic values and key ratios of highly incompatible elements compared to lithophile elements in Archean to Early-Proterozoic mantle-derived melts (i.e., basalts and komatiites). Basalts and komatiites both record a rapid-change in mantle chemistry around 3.2 billion years ago (Ga) signifying a fundamental change in Earth geodynamics. This rapid-change is recorded in Nd isotopes and in key trace element ratios that reflect a fundamental shift in the balance between fluid-mobile and incompatible elements (i.e., Ba/La, Ba/Nb, U/Nb, Pb/Nd and Pb/Ce) in basaltic and komatiitic rocks. These geochemical proxies display a significant increase in magnitude and variability after ~3.2 Ga. We hypothesize that rapid increases in mantle heterogeneity indicate the recycling of supracrustal materials back into Earth's mantle via subduction. Our new observations thus point to a?=?3.2 Ga onset of global subduction processes via plate tectonics.

Abstract: The ability to accurately determine the provenance of gem diamonds impacts economic, political, and national security arenas. Currently, provenance determinations rely on: 1) gemological and mineralogical features of stones, such as spectroscopic measurements, geochemistry, and inclusions, and 2) certification and tracking of individual stones through the Kimberly Process Certificate Scheme. Unfortunately, during cutting and polishing, many gemological features are obliterated and tracking individual stones through the chain of custody can be difficult. This study resulted in a highly successful method for determining provenance of cut diamonds from information in the stone itself. A set of 30 cut diamonds from each of ten controlled localities and one set of 30 synthetic diamonds were analyzed by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The sample set (330 total diamonds) includes both kimberlite and placer diamonds from five countries and five different cratons. LIBS acquires the atomic emission spectra released from a material during laser ablation. The spectra contain information from nearly every element in the periodic table, and thus are unique chemical, or quantagenetic, signatures of the material. Spectra were analyzed using a Bayesian statistical method that compares groups of samples defined by the reported locations of the stones to clusters of samples defined by spectral similarity. Ideally, each spectral cluster coincides with a group of stones. The spectrum of each sample is compared to a set of reference spectra from each group to determine the probable provenance of the sample. The correlation between groups and clusters was excellent, with average accuracy of 98%, suggesting that diamonds from each location are spectrally similar to each other and distinct from those from other locations. This is true even for diamonds from kimberlites in close proximity to each other. Synthetic diamonds are easily distinguished from natural diamonds (100% success). Some groups of diamonds in the study are more heterogeneous than others. For instance, a placer group has five recognizable spectrally-defined sub-clusters. This work demonstrates that diamond provenance can be determined at a high level of confidence on individual cut gemstones.

Abstract: The country or mine of origin is an important economic and societal issue inherent in the diamond industry. Consumers increasingly want to know the provenance of their diamonds to ensure their purchase does not support inhumane working conditions. Governments around the world reduce the flow of conflict diamonds via paper certificates through the Kimberley Process, a United Nations mandate. However, certificates can be subject to fraud and do not provide a failsafe solution to stopping the flow of illicit diamonds. A solution tied to the diamonds themselves that can withstand the cutting and manufacturing process is required. Here, we show that multivariate analysis of LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) diamond spectra predicts the mine of origin at greater than 95% accuracy, distinguishes between natural and synthetic stones, and distinguishes between synthetic stones manufactured in different laboratories by different methods. Two types of spectral features, elemental emission peaks and emission clusters from C-N and C-C molecules, are significant in the analysis, indicating that the provenance signal is contained in the carbon structure itself rather than in inclusions.

Abstract: Carbonatites are enriched in critical raw materials such as the rare earth elements (REE), niobium, fluorspar and phosphate. A better understanding of their fluid regimes will improve our knowledge of how to target and exploit economic deposits. This study shows that multiple fluid phases penetrated the surrounding fenite aureole during carbonatite emplacement at Chilwa Island, Malawi. The first alkaline fluids formed the main fenite assemblage and later microscopic vein networks contain the minerals of potential economic interest such as pyrochlore in high-grade fenite and RE minerals throughout the aureole. Seventeen samples of fenite rock from the metasomatic aureole around the Chilwa Island carbonatite complex were chosen for study (Natural History Museum, London collection BM1968 P37). In addition to the main fenite assemblage of feldspar and aegirine ± arfvedsonite, riebeckite and richterite, the fenite contains micro-mineral assemblages including apatite, ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, zircon, RE minerals and pyrochlore in vein networks. Petrography using SEM-EDX showed that the RE minerals (monazite, bastnäsite and parisite) formed later than the fenite feldspar, aegirine and apatite and provide evidence of REE mobility into all grades of fenite. Fenite apatite has a distinct negative Eu anomaly (determined by LA-ICP-MS) that is rare in carbonatite-associated rocks and interpreted as related to pre-crystallisation of plagioclase and co-crystallisation with K-feldspar in the fenite. The fenite minerals have consistently higher mid REE/light REE ratios (La/Sm = ~1.3 monazite, ~1.9 bastnäsite, ~1.2 parisite) than their counterparts in the carbonatites (La/Sm = ~2.5 monazite, ~4.2 bastnäsite, ~3.4 parisite). Quartz in the low- and medium-grade fenite hosts fluid inclusions, typically a few µm in diameter, secondary and extremely heterogeneous. Single phase, 2- and 3-phase, single solid and multi solid-bearing examples are present, with 2-phase the most abundant. Calcite, nahcolite, burbankite and barite were found in the inclusions. Decrepitation of inclusions occurred at around 200°C before homogenisation but melting temperature data indicate that the inclusions contain relatively pure CO2. A minimum salinity of around 24 wt.% NaCl equivalent was determined. Among the trace elements in whole rock analyses, enrichment in Ba, Mo, Nb, Pb, Sr, Th and Y and depletion in Co, Hf and V are common to carbonatite and fenite but enrichment in carbonatitic type elements (Ba, Nb, Sr, Th, Y, and REE) generally increases towards the inner parts of the aureole. A schematic model contains multiple fluid events, related to first and second boiling of the magma, accompanying intrusion of the carbonatites at Chilwa Island, each contributing to the mineralogy and chemistry of the fenite. The presence of distinct RE mineral micro-assemblages in fenite at some distance from carbonatite could be developed as an exploration indicator of REE enrichment.

Alakit and Daldyn kimberlite fields, Siberia, Russia: two types of mantle sub-terranes beneath central Yakutia? Geoscience Frontiers, in press available Russia, Siberia Deposit - Alakit, Daldyn
Abstract: Mineral data from Yakutian kimberlites allow reconstruction of the history of lithospheric mantle. Differences occur in compositions of mantle pyropes and clinopyroxenes from large kimberlite pipes in the Alakit and Daldyn fields. In the Alakit field, Cr-diopsides are alkaline, and Stykanskaya and some other pipes contain more sub-calcic pyropes and dunitic-type diamond inclusions, while in the Daldyn field harzburgitic pyropes are frequent. The eclogitic diamond inclusions in the Alakit field are sharply divided in types and conditions, while in the Daldyn field they show varying compositions and often continuous Pressure-Temperature (P-T) ranges with increasing Fe# with decreasing pressures. In Alakit, Cr-pargasites to richterites were found in all pipes, while in Daldyn, pargasites are rare Dalnyaya and Zarnitsa pipes. Cr-diopsides from the Alakit region show higher levels of light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) and stronger REE-slopes, and enrichment in light Rare Earth Elements (LREE), sometimes Th-U, and small troughs in Nb-Ta-Zr. In the Daldyn field, the High Field Strength Elements HFSE troughs are more common in clinopyroxenes with low REE abundances, while those from sheared and refertilized peridotites have smooth patterns. Garnets from Alakit show HREE minima, but those from Daldyn often have a trough at Y and high U and Pb. PTXfO2 diagrams from both regions show similarities, suggesting similar layering and structures. The degree of metasomatism is often higher for pipes which show dispersion in P-Fe# trends for garnets. In the mantle beneath Udachnaya and Aykhal, pipes show 6-7 linear arrays of P-Fe# in the lower part of the mantle section at 7.5-3.0 GPa, probably reflecting primary subduction horizons. Beneath the Sytykanskaya pipe, there are several horizons with opposite inclinations which reflect metasomatic processes. The high dispersion of the P-Fe# trend indicating widespread metasomatism is associated with decreased diamond grades. Possible explanation of the differences in mineralogy and geochemistry of the mantle sections may relate to their tectonic positions during growth of the lithospheric keel. Enrichment in volatiles and alkalis possibly corresponds to interaction with subduction-related fluids and melts in the craton margins. Incorporation of island arc peridotites from an eroded arc is a possible scenario.
2016 Downe, H. Ashchepkov, I.V., Ntaflos, T., Logvinova, A.M., Spetsius, Z.V., Downe, H., Vladykin, N.V. Monomineral universal clinopyroxene and garnet barometers for peridotitic, eclogitic and basaltic systems. Geoscience Frontiers, in press available Technology Mineralogy
Abstract: New versions of the universal Jd-Di exchange clinopyroxene barometer for peridotites, pyroxenites and eclogites, and also garnet barometer for eclogites and peridotites were developed. They were checked using large experimental data sets for eclogitic (~530) and peridotitic systems (>650). The precision of the universal Cpx barometer for peridotites based on Jd-Di exchange is close to Cr-Tschermakite method produced by Nimis and Taylor (2000). Cpx barometer was transformed by the substitution of major multiplier for KD by the equations dependent from Al-Na-Fe. Obtained equation in combination with the thermometer of Nimis and Taylor (2000) allow to reconstruct position of the magma feeder systems of the alkali basaltic magma within the mantle diapirs in modern platforms like in Vitim plateau and other Southern Siberia localities and several localities worldwide showing good agreement of pressure ranges for black and green suites. These equations allow construct PTX diagrams for the kimberlite localities in Siberia and worldwide calculating simultaneously the PT parameters for different groups of mantle rocks. They give very good results for the concentrates from kimberlite lamproites and placers with mantle minerals. They are useful for PT estimates for diamond inclusions. The positions of eclogite groups in mantle sections are similar to those determined with new Gar-Cpx barometer produced by C. Beyer et al. (2015). The Fe rich eclogites commonly trace the boundary between the lower upper parts of subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) at 3-4 GPa marking pyroxenite eclogites layer. Ca-rich eclogites and especially grospydites in SCLM beneath Precambrian kimberlites occurs near pyroxenite layer but in younger mantle sections they became common in the lower parts. The diamondiferous Mg Cr-less group eclogites referring to the ancient island arc complexes are also common in the middle part of mantle sections and near 5-6 GPa. Commonly eclogites in lower apart of mantle sections are remelted and trace the high temperature convective branch. The Mg- and Fe-rich pyroxenites also show the extending in pressure trends which suggest the anatexic melting under the influence of volatiles or under the interaction with plums.
