Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data Only by understanding all of the parts of this activity in detail may we make progress in our understanding of the whole. Kimberlites are a part of a wide spectrum of continental intra-cratonic magmatism. Their petrographic diversity, complex mineralogy and geochemistry, and unusual style of intrusion provide endless opportunities for stimulating hypothesis and conjecture concerning their origin and evolution. For the petrologist, kimberlites are exciting and challenging objects for study. A common factor essential to all of these activities is a thorough understanding of the characteristics of kimberlites. Kimberlites are consequently of interest to a diverse group of earth scientists, ranging from isotope g~ochemists concerned with the evolution of the mantle, to volcanologists pondering the origins of diatremes, to exploration geologists seeking new occurrences of the diamondiferous varieties. Kimberlites are rare rock types however, their relative obscurity is overriden by their economic and petrological importance to a degree which is not shared with the commoner varieties of igneous rocks. The object of the book is to provide a comprehensive survey and critique of the advances which have been made in kimberlite studies over the last twenty-five years. It is not about upper mantle xenoliths, diamonds, or prospecting for kimberlites. ![]()
