This proceedings book offers insights into deep magmatism and the significance of enriched mantle reservoirs. Alkaline Rocks, Kimberlites and Carbonatites: Geochemistry and Genesis presents valuable research findings.
The proceedings book titled Alkaline Rocks, Kimberlites and Carbonatites: Geochemistry and Genesis compiles a series of conference papers that delve into the fundamental challenges associated with deep magmatism. It highlights the significance of enriched mantle reservoirs, which are known to be the source of some of the largest apatite and rare metal deposits on Earth. These insights are crucial for understanding the geochemical processes that govern the formation of such valuable resources.
In addition to discussing enriched mantle reservoirs, Alkaline Rocks, Kimberlites and Carbonatites: Geochemistry and Genesis also explores the compositional characteristics of kimberlites, particularly those found in the deep Yubileinaya pipe. The book provides a detailed examination of the mineralogical features of the Nakyn kimberlite field located in Yakutia, offering valuable data for researchers interested in the geological aspects of these formations.
Furthermore, the proceedings delve into the crystallochemical properties of rare and complex silicates discovered in charoite rocks from the deep Murunskii massif in South Africa, as well as the comendites from Mongolia. This comprehensive overview not only enriches the existing literature on deep magmatism but also serves as a vital resource for geochemists and geologists aiming to advance their understanding of these intricate geological phenomena.
