Diamonds, dunites, and metasomatic rocks formed by melt/rock reaction in craton roots

Reactions of depleted, reduced peridotite with oxidised volatile-rich melts can explain several contentious rock assemblages sampled by kimberlites from the metasomatised zone at the base of the lithosphere, according to high pressure laboratory experiments.
