Alberta Diamond Inclusion Dataset

Alberta Diamond Inclusion Dataset This Alberta diamond inclusion dataset includes electron microprobe analyses of garnet, clinopyroxene, olivine, ferropericlase and rutile inclusions from diamonds sampled by the Buffalo Head Hills kimberlite field. The data are compiled from Davies et al. (2004) and Banas (2006). Diamond inclusions are of particular research interest in diamond exploration and mantle petrology because they provide direct information about the chemical composition of upper and lower mantle and about the petrogenetic sources of diamonds in a given area/deposit. 2024-05-02 Government of Alberta AGS-Info@aer.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technology72E72L72M73D73E73L73M74D74E74L74M82G82H82I82J82N82O82P83A83B83C83D83E83F83G83H83I83J83K83L83M83N83O83P84A84B84C84D84E84F84G84H84I84J84K84L84M84N84O84PALBERTACANADADATADIAMONDGEOLOGYGEOSCIENTIFICINFORMATIONINCLUSIONSGovernment information Alberta Diamond Inclusion Dataset - (ASCII GRID)ASCII Grid https://static.ags.aer.ca/files/document/DIG/DIG_2007_0006.zip Alberta Diamond Inclusion Dataset - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/f739fe018c474962b074e243f45adb20/html Original metadata (https://open.alberta.ca/opendata)HTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/bd6ac873-148b-44fa-bf7e-e13ebe37cf89 Alberta Diamond Inclusion Dataset - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/f739fe018c474962b074e243f45adb20/xml
