Origin of megacrysts by carbonate-bearing metasomatism: A case study for the Muskox kimberlite, Slave craton, Canada.
Low-Cr and high-Cr clinopyroxene, garnet, olivine, and ilmenite megacrysts from the Muskox kimberlite (Canada) were analyzed for major and trace elements, as well as Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes. Samples display compositional overlap with respective phases in websterites, while clinopyroxene isotope syst...
