Although lamproites represent one of the rarest of all rock types, they are both economically and scientifically important and we believe the time is ripe for a review of the advances made in their petrology over the past two decades. Many of these advances stem from the recognition of diamond-bearing lamproites in Western Australia and the reclassification of several anomalous diamond-bearing kim berlites as lamproites. Consequently lamproites, previously of interest only to a small number of mineralogists specializing in exotica outside the mainstream of igneous petrol ogy, have become prime targets for diamond exploration on a worldwide basis. Contemporaneously with these developments, petrologists realized that lamproites possess isotopic signatures complementary to those of midoceanic ridge basalts, alkali basalts, kimberlites, and other mantle-derived melts. These isotopic studies provided new insigh | 出版日期 | Book 1991 | 关键词 | Petrogenesis; chemistry; classification; exploration; formation; geochemistry; mineral; mineralogy; petrogra | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-3788-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-6688-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-3788-5 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1991 |
