SP513 Lamprophyres, Lamproites and Related Rocks: Tracers to Supercontinent Cycles and Metallogenesis

Edited by L. Krmíček and N.V. Chalapathi Rao

Paleoproterozoic to Cenozoic lamprophyres, lamproites and related rock types (e.g. kimberlites) hold unique potential for the investigation of processes affecting deeper mantle reservoirs in continental regions, which were parts of former supercontinents. This book provides a timely overview of the petrology, geochemistry, source characteristics and metallogenesis of these extraordinary rocks.
