- Description: Field and Scott Smith [Field, M., Scott Smith, B.H., 1999. Contrasting geology and near-surface emplacement of kimberlite pipes in southern Africa and Canada. Proc. 7th Int. Kimb. Conf. (Eds. Gurney et al.) 1, 214–237.] propose that kimberlite pipes can be grouped into three types or classes. Classical or Class 1 pipes are the only class with characteristic low temperature, diatreme-facies kimberlite in addition to hypabyssal- and crater-facies kimberlite. Class 2 and 3 pipes are characterized only by hypabyssal-and crater-facies kimberlite.

Evolution of a strongly differentiated suite of phonolites from the Klinghardt Mountains, Namibia

- Description: Phonolites of Tertiary age occur as eroded tholoids, lava flows, ignimbrites, and coulees in the Klinghardt Mountains of southern Namibia. Sixty samples have been analyzed for major and trace elements and fourteen of these for 87SR 86SR. The phonolites lie close to the low-pressure cotectics in Q-Ne-Ks, in keeping with their petrography which indicates that most samples have phenocrysts of both nepheline and sanidine. Na has been variably lost from the rocks during crystallization and devitrification/alteration of hypocrystalline specimens.

- Description: Concentrations of the platinum-group elements have been determined in several suites of southern African flood-type basalts and mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB), covering some 3 Ga of geologic evolution and including the Etendeka, Karoo, Soutpansberg, Machadodorp, Hekpoort, Ventersdorp and Dominion magmas.

Al/Cr ratios of coexisting pyroxenes and spinellids in some ultramafic rocks

- Description: Al/Cr atomic ratios of coexisting spinellids and ortho- and clinopyroxenes show a pattern of sympathetic variation that persists through ultramafic rocks of layered mafic complexes of upper-crustal type, Alpine complexes, and the nodules found in kimberlites and alkaline basalts. Simple expressions are empirically derived to link (Al/Cr) orthopyroxene and (Al/Cr)spinel ratios in putatively equilibrated rocks. Equivalence of spinel compositions in shallow layered complexes and kimberlite nodules of deep-seated origin negates direct crystallochemical control of Al/Cr ratios of spinels by pressure.
