The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Scientific and Media Articles based on Major Keyword - Shoshonite
The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation is compiled by Patricia Sheahan who publishes on a monthly basis a list of new scientific articles related to diamonds as well as media coverage and corporate announcements called the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service that is distributed as a free pdf to a list of followers. Pat has kindly agreed to allow her work to be made available as an online digital resource at Kaiser Research Online so that a broader community interested in diamonds and related geology can benefit. The references are for personal use information purposes only; when available a link is provided to an online location where the full article can be accessed or purchased directly.

Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Scientific Articles by Author for all years
Each article reference in the SDLRC is tagged with one or more key words assigned by Pat Sheahan to highlight the main topics of the article. In an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific topic, KRO has extracted these key words and developed a list of major key words presented in this Key Word Index to which individual key words used in the article reference have been assigned. In most of the individual Key Word Reports the references are in crhonological order, though in some such as Deposits the order is first by key word and then chronological. Only articles classified as "technical" (mainly scientific journal articles) and "media" (independent media articles) are included in the Key Word Index. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow.
Shoshonite is a basaltic igneous rock saturated with silica, low iron enrichment and with a high potassium to sodium ratio. They tend to be associated with volcanism related to calc-alkaline island-arc subduction. A shoshonite is a type of lamprophyre more commonly associated with gold deposits than diamonds.

shoshonite
Abstract: Field geological, petrographic and geochemical characteristics of a lamprophyre intrusion, presumably of plug-type, at Sivarampet (SPL), occurring within the Wajrakarur kimberlite field (WKF) to the west of Cuddapah basin, are presented and discussed. The lamprophyre intrusion occurs as brecciated outcrop with angular country rock granitoid clasts and also it forms stringers/veinlets within the granitic country rock. The melanocratic rock displays panidiomorphic/porphyritic texture, typical of lamprophyres, comprising clinopyroxene, biotite, phlogopite set in a groundmass of feldspar, magnetite and spinel. Plagioclase is dominant feldspar. The K2O/Na2O ratio ranges from 1.55 to 1.89 wt %, making it distinctly potassic and brings out its shoshonitic behaviour. The fractionated chondrite normalised patterns of REE (with average (La/Yb)N= 21.01 ppm) implies involvement of an enriched mantle source while depleted values of Nb, Hf, Th and U concentrations indicate prevalence of subducted component in the mantle source. The concentrations of Rb, Sr and Ba indicate presence of phlogopite in the source. Based on the mineral assemblages, the SPL can be classified as calc-alkaline variety; however, its geochemistry shows characteristics of both alkaline and calc-alkaline varieties. The moderate Mg# (52 to 55.6) and low concentration of Ni (95.61 to 112.4 ppm) in the bulk rock indicate a low degree of partial melting of magmatic fluid from enriched asthenospheric mantle which underwent fractionation of olivine and pyroxene, subsequently producing lamprophyre magma. Recent discovery of diamonds in shoshonitic lamprophyres of Canada, appeals further investigations on diamondiferous nature of similar rock types of the WKF.

shoshonites
Abstract: The diffusive exchange of 30 trace elements (Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr, Co, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Ta, V, Cr, Pb, Th, U, Zr, Hf, Sn and Nb) during the interaction of natural mafic and silicic alkaline melts was experimentally studied at conditions relevant to shallow magmatic systems. In detail, a set of 12 diffusion couple experiments have been performed between natural shoshonitic and rhyolitic melts from the Vulcano Island (Aeolian archipelago, Italy) at a temperature of 1200?°C, pressures from 50 to 500?MPa, and water contents ranging from nominally dry to ca. 2 wt.%. Concentration-distance profiles, measured by Laser Ablation ICP-MS, highlight different behaviours, and trace elements were divided into two groups: (1) elements with normal diffusion profiles (13 elements, mainly low field strength and transition elements), and (2) elements showing uphill diffusion (17 elements including Y, Zr, Nb, Pb and rare earth elements, except Eu). For the elements showing normal diffusion profiles, chemical diffusion coefficients were estimated using a concentration-dependent evaluation method, and values are given at four intermediate compositions (SiO2 equal to 58, 62, 66 and 70 wt.%, respectively). A general coupling of diffusion coefficients to silica diffusivity is observed, and variations in systematics are observed between mafic and silicic compositions. Results show that water plays a decisive role on diffusive rates in the studied conditions, producing an enhancement between 0.4 and 0.7 log units per 1 wt.% of added H2O. Particularly notable is the behaviour of the trivalent-only REEs (La to Nd and Gd to Lu), with strong uphill diffusion minima, diminishing from light to heavy REEs. Modelling of REE profiles by a modified effective binary diffusion model indicates that activity gradients induced by the SiO2 concentration contrast are responsible for their development, inducing a transient partitioning of REEs towards the shoshonitic melt. These results indicate that diffusive fractionation of trace elements is possible during magma mixing events, especially in the more silicic melts, and that the presence of water in such events can lead to enhanced chemical diffusive mixing efficiency, affecting also the estimation of mixing to eruption timescales.
