Metasomatized Kyanite-eclogites xenoliths from a southern Indian kimberlite
Kimberlites discovered so far in southern India are restricted to the Eastern Block of the Dharwar Craton and are distributed in three fields: Wajrakarur, Narayanpet, and Raipur. As summarized recently by Paul et al. (2006) and Patel et al. (2006), known kimberlite pipes in the Wajrakarur kimberlite field (WKF), which lies at the western margin of the Cuddapah Basin, occur in three clusters: Wa...
متن کاملSolubility of corundum + kyanite in H2O at 700 C and 10 kbar: evidence for Al-Si complexing at high pressure and temperature
The solubility of the assemblage corundum + kyanite in H2O was determined at 700 C and 10 kbar, using a piston-cylinder apparatus and rapid-quench/fluid-extraction techniques. Weighted mean concentrations of total Al and Si were 5.80 ± 0.03 mmol kg H2O and 0.308 ± 0.003 mol kg )1 H2O, respectively (1r errors). The Al concentration is nearly five times higher than that of corundum solubility in ...
متن کاملRestoring the past glory of Diamond Mining in south India- A plausible case of diamondiferous Wajrakarur kimberlite pipe clusters with geochemical evidences
A plausible case of collective and economical mining of diamondiferous kimberlite deposits of Wajrakarur and adjoining places in Andhra Pradesh, southern India along with the whole-rock geochemical evidences in support of their diamond potentiality are discussed in this article. The kimberlites/lamproites are mantle-derived ultrabasic rocks which rarely carry diamonds from mantle to the earth’s...
متن کاملMelting carbonated epidote eclogites: carbonatites from subducting slabs
Current knowledge on the solidus temperature for carbonated eclogites suggests that carbonatitic liquids should not form from a subducted oceanic lithosphere at sub-arc depth. However, the oceanic crust includes a range of gabbroic rocks, altered on rifts and transforms, with large amounts of anorthite-rich plagioclase forming epidote on metamorphism. Epidote disappearance with pressure depends...
متن کاملConstraints on source-forming processes of West Greenland kimberlites inferred from Hf-Nd isotope systematics
Kimberlites from West Greenland have Hf–Nd isotope as well as major and trace element compositions that are similar to other Group I kimberlites, but that are distinctive in the spectrum of magmas sampled at Earth’s surface. The West Greenland kimberlites have eNdi that ranges from +1.6 to +3.1 and eHfi that ranges from 4.3 to +4.9. The samples exhibit ubiquitous negative DeHfi (deviation from ...
