Using mineral chemistry to constrain P-T conditions for mantle xenoliths from the Kaapvaal craton, South Africa

Kimberlites are igneous rocks that originate by small degrees of melting of the mantle. Notably, kimberlites carry large variety of crustal and mantle xenoliths. Geochemical data on xenoliths can provide insights into the processes occurring in the subcontinental lithosphere (SCLM) and deeper. The...
