Spring 2014
The Ironshore Formation, a Pleistocene limestone succession found on Grand Cayman, is formed of six unconformity-bounded units (A to F) that developed in response to transgressive-regressive cycles. Highstands led to deposition whereas lowstands led to diagenetic change in the earlier deposited...

The physical and geochemical characteristics of diamonds from the Artemisia Kimberlite (Northern Slave Craton, Nunavut, Canada) and the micro-/macro-diamond relationship
DownloadFall 2011
This thesis presents the results of a study on diamonds from the Artemisia kimberlite, Nunavut, Canada. This study integrates the isotopic, chemical and physical characteristics of the diamonds in an attempt to provide insight into the nature of the micro-/macro-diamond genetic relationship, and...

The petrography and mineral chemistry of melt-intruded mantle xenoliths from the Chidliak kimberlite field, Baffin Island, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
The nature of kimberlitic melts at mantle depths and their interaction with mantle wall-rocks is poorly constrained. This is due to the scarcity of mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts that have preserved this interaction without disaggregating during their transport to Earth’s surface. This thesis...

The paragenesis and geochemistry of the Bellekeno Ag-Pb-Zn vein, Keno Hill district, Yukon, Canada
DownloadFall 2013
The Keno Hill district Ag-Pb-Zn deposit occurs within the Tombstone-Tungsten Belt, Yukon. Vein mineralization, dominated by siderite, sphalerite, and galena, is spatially associated with, but paragenetically later than, intrusion-related gold mineralization. A direct genetic link between the Keno...

Fall 2009
Recent discoveries of kimberlites in North America have revealed that different processes are involved in the generation of kimberlite magma. A multi-disciplinary approach combining mineralogical, petrological, geochemical, and geochronological methods is used to classify the kimberlites,...

The origin and evolution of eclogite xenoliths and associated diamonds from the Jericho kimberlite, northern Slave craton, Canada: an integrated petrological, geochemical and isotopic study
DownloadFall 2011
Diamond-bearing eclogite xenoliths are relatively rare but provide insight into the composition and evolution of the cratonic lithospheric mantle and also insight into the diamond formation process. The major-, trace-element and Sr-Pb-O-isotope compositions of both high- and low-MgO diamond...
