(PDF) Kimberlite Terminology and Classification Abstract. Description, classification and interpretation of kimberlites and related rocks, and communication of that information, underpin the development of three-dimensional geological models used in generating reliable diamond resource estimates. Kimberlite Terminology and Classification SpringerLink textural and genetic classification schemes for kimberlite The nomenclature and classification of lamprophyres, lamproites, kimberlites and the kalsilitic, melilitic and leucitic rocls are inaaequately detined. Kimberlite Terminology And Classification - m.motoraid.com Kimberlites: descriptive geological nomenclature and classification. 9th International Kimberlite Conference, Frankfurt, Germany. Long Abstract and Proceedings Volume, respectively. Kimberlites: Descriptive Geological Nomenclature and... Kimberlites: Descriptive Geological Nomenclature and Classification B.H. Scott Smith1,3, T.E. Nowicki2, J.K. Russell3,... volcanic terminology and how it can and should be applied to kimberlite, the scheme proposed here is founded on several decades of applied kimberlite geology focused primarily on the development of practical and economically relevant geological models for primary diamond... Kimberlites: Descriptive Geological Nomenclature and... Numerous classification models have been developed for kimberlites and the large textural and mineralogical variations seen in these rocks doesn't help to make the task any easier. A Textural-Genetic Classification of Kimberlites Although kimberlite pipes/bodies are usually the remains of volcanic vents, in-vent deposits, and subvolcanic intrusions, the terminology used for kimberlite rocks has largely developed independently of that used in mainstream volcanology. A new approach to kimberlite facies terminology using a... Figure 1: Descriptive terminology for magmaclasts in kimberlite (after Webb 2006) Interpretation Description of the characteristics of magmaclasts represented in Fig. 1, combined with other textural, component and structural aspects of a kimberlite, forms the foundation of valid interpretations of the textural-genetic classification, intrusive or volcanic spatial context and emplacement... Magmaclasts in Kimberlite - 11ikc.com 1. IntroductionThe terminology used in kimberlite geology contains many terms that are not used in volcanology, even though kimberlite bodies are often the remains of volcanic conduits, vents and edifices. A practical guide to terminology for kimberlite facies: A... Kimberlite is an igneous rock, which sometimes contains diamonds. It is named after the town of Kimberley in South Africa, where the discovery of an 83.5-carat (16.70 g) diamond called the Star of South Africa in 1869 spawned a diamond rush and the digging of the open-pit mine called the Big Hole. Kimberlite - Wikipedia given, variouslyln mineralogical and geochemical terms, and a reviied sequence for the systematic classification of the rocks is provided which integrates with the existing IUGS hierarchical system. 4 / 6
