(2022-04)
The South Mountain Batholith (SMB) is a 7300 km2, peraluminous, felsic intrusion occurring in SW Nova Scotia. The batholith consists of 13 plutons emplaced in two different phases between ~385 (Phase 1) and ~368 Ma (Phase ...
Dissolution features on diamonds from hypabyssal kimberlite facies and the effect of melt composition on diamond resorption
(2022-04)
Diamonds can preserve features from their time deep in earth’s mantle and their ascent
from the mantle to the Earth’s surface in hot kimberlite magma due to their high stability. The
record of dissolution textures on ...
