V11C:
The History of a Diamond: Insights from Melts, Fluids, and Mineral Inclusions Posters


Session ID#: 8057

Session Description:
Diamond is one of the oldest and deepest materials discovered on the Earth’s surface. Inclusions in diamonds are the most informative messengers that provide direct information about the processes in the deep mantle. Findings of superdeep diamonds allowed to shed light on the composition of the transition zone and the lower mantle, as well as provided unique information on the oxidation state at these depths that directly links to the deep volatile cycle. Diamond findings in unconventional settings of UHP terrains imposed important questions of continent assemblage and diamond growth environment. This session invites contributions on diamond inclusions, isotope systematics, morphology, and experiments that expand our understanding of diamond origin in the Earth interior, the deep carbon cycle and the phase assemblage in the deep Earth.
