The deep carbon cycle and melting in Earth's interior
R Dasgupta, MM Hirschmann - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2010 - Elsevier
Carbon geochemistry of mantle-derived samples suggests that the fluxes and reservoir sizes
associated with deep cycle are in the order of 1012–13gC/yr and 1022–23g C, respectively …

Mineralogy of the lower mantle: A review of 'super-deep'mineral inclusions in diamond
F Kaminsky - Earth-Science Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Starting from the late 1980s, several groups of lower-mantle mineral inclusions in diamond
have been found. Three associations were established among them: juvenile ultramafic …
