It is well known that water significantly lowers mantle solidi. But it turns out this paradigm is
not always true. Here, we studied the interaction of K-rich carbonate melts with the natural …

The range of carbonatite melts in equilibrium with the subcontinental lithospheric mantle
(SCLM) under geothermal conditions is limited by alkali-rich near-eutectic compositions …

Compositional ranges of carbonate melt s stable under PT conditions corresponding to the
base of subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) are limited by alkali-rich near-eutectic …

Melt inclusions in kimberlitic minerals and diamonds indicate that chlorides are important
constituents of mantle carbonatite melts. Besides, alkaline chlorides are important …

Decoding the petrogenesis of carbonatites is of great importance for our understanding of
the Earth's deep carbon cycling and formation of rare-earth-element (REE) deposits. Among …

A suite of coated diamonds from the International'naya (n= 63) and Mir (n= 5) kimberlite
pipes (Mirny field, Siberian craton) was studied to track the most recent metasomatic events …

In this work, we studied the phase relationships in the NaAlSi2O6–CaMgSi2O6–CO2 system
in the range of 3–6.5 GPa and 900–1500℃ using a multianvil press. The duration of most …

Carbon flux metasomatism in the subduction environment is an important process, but it
remains poorly understood. The paucity of exposed lower crust and upper mantle rocks in …

Alkaline chlorides and carbonates are abundant in melt inclusions in diamonds, mantle
xenoliths, and igneous minerals from kimberlites. Despite this, the phase relationships in …

Findings of solid and liquefied CO2 in diamonds from kimberlites and placers have indicated
its presence in the form of a fluid phase in the Earth's mantle at depths of 150–250 km …
