Earth's carbon, derived from planetesimals in the 1 AU region during accretion of the Solar
System, still retains similarities to carbon found in meteorites (Marty et al. 2013) even after …

Carbonatites are familiar to students of petrology as rare igneous rocks formed
predominantly of carbonate, whose only modern expression is a single active volcano that …

Cratons are the ancient cores of continents, characterized by tectonic inactivity, a thick
mantle lithosphere and low heat flow. Although stable as tectonically independent units for …

Subduction tectonics imposes an important role in the evolution of the interior of the Earth
and its global carbon cycle; however, the mechanism of the mantle–slab interaction remains …

Perhaps the first point to address in this chapter is what role, or roles, experimental petrology
can play in understanding the formation of natural diamond. As can be seen from the other …

Effective CO2-storage in the shallow solid Earth mainly occurs by the formation of
carbonates. Although the possibility of transport and storage of carbonates to great depth is …

Primarily on the basis of C, N, S, and O stable isotope systematics, this article reviews recent
achievements in understanding diamond formation and growth in Earth's mantle. Diamond …

After the discovery of metamorphic coesite in crustal rocks from the Western Alps (Italy) and
the Western gneiss region (Norway) in the mid 1980s of the last century, metamorphic …

The principal sources of natural diamonds are peridotitic (about 2/3 of diamonds) and
eclogitic (1/3) domains located at 140–200 km depth in the subcratonic lithospheric mantle …

The carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) of diamonds containing peridotitic, eclogitic,
websteritic and ultra-deep inclusions is re-evaluated on a detailed level. Applying a binning …
