Studies of kimberlites and associated rocks and minerals provide                significant and often unique information pertinent to petrologic                models, and magmatic and isotopic processes in the mantle beneath               ancient cratonic regions.  However, probably 90% of the available               data are based on southern African kimberlites.  In order to                    geographically expand the existing database, this project will                  investigate the geology, mineralogy and petrology of Brazilian                  kimberlites, xenoliths and diamonds.  The results will be used to               aid in modelling the magmatic evolution of kimberlite and the                   nature of the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath the Brazilian                shield.  The data obtained will also be used to compare and                     contrast the Brazilian kimberlites, about which little is known,                with those from southern Africa and elsewhere, notably the U. S.                and Siberia.
