- Description
- The estimation of post-emplacement kimberlite erosion in South Africa through the study of upper-crustal xenoliths is relatively unexplored; however the presence of these xenoliths has been recognized for well over a 100 years. Previously postemplacement erosion levels of a small number of kimberlite pipes have been inferred through the study of the degree of country-rock diagenesis, the depth of sill formation and the depth of the initiation of diatreme facies kimberlite.
