Abstract: Kimberlites are not only the most economically important source of diamonds; they also carry unique information encapsulated in rock fragments entrained as the magma traverses the whole thickness of the lithosphere. The Nurbinskaya pipe in… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/se-9-403-2018
Abstract: Abstract. Pre-existing structures within sub-crustal lithosphere may localise stresses during subsequent tectonic events, resulting in complex fault systems at upper-crustal levels. As these sub-crustal structures are difficult to resolve at great depths, the evolution of… read more here.
