Shortite

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed petrographic and chemical analysis of exceptionally fresh, and thus essentially anhydrous (< 0.5 wt.% H2O), kimberlite samples from the Udachnaya-East pipe (Daldyn-Alakit region, Siberia) is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the hypabyssal kimberlite with particularly fresh olivine from the Palaeogene Koala pipe (Ekati cluster, Slave craton, Canada) is focused on reconstruction of the kimberslide parental melt.

TL;DR: Using XRD, XRF, micro-XRF, and C-O isotope analyses, Li et al. as discussed by the authors determined: (1) the stratigraphic trends in mineral compositions, (2) the cyclic depositional processes, and (3) paleoclimate variations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between secondary melt inclusions (MI) and the groundmass of the unserpentinised kimberlites of the Udachnaya-east kimbersite and found that MI solidus temperature is as high as 500°.
