Kimberlite Pipes Map. Kimberlite Pipes Map You can find a map of kimberlite pipes in the USA through geological surveys or research institutions that specialize in diamond exploration and mining In all cases, the kimberlite is discontinuously bedded.

Mesozoic-Cenozoic kimberlite between 250 Ma and 50 Ma is the most remarkable kimberlite bloom globally, and more than 60% of the world's known kimberlite clusters on every continent were emplaced. Kimberlite volcanism involves the emplacement of olivine-rich volcaniclastic deposits into volcanic vents or pipes

Kimberlite Pipes Map. A number of other regions that have seen much less exploration, such as the Birch Mountains, Mountain Lake, Caribou Mountains, Chinchaga River, Peace River to Spirit River, Kakwa-Wapiti River, Edmonton and south-central foothills areas, and much of central to southern Alberta across the Prairies, require further exploration to identify the potential for kimberlite pipes and to determine the. The eastern (leading) edge of Farallon slab in central North America at 100 and 90 Ma (at 403 km depth) are shown as thick and thin black-dashed line, respectively [after Spasojevic et al ., 2009 ].

As of 2014 about 6,400 kimberlite pipes are known on Earth including about 900 that have been found to contain diamonds, with mining of diamonds occurring at about 30 pipes The north pipe contains a central zone of dark, dense pyroclastic kimberlite and a marginal zone of volcaniclastic kimberlite (Fig
