The Igwisi Hills volcanoes (IHV), Tanzania, are unique and important in preserving extra-crater lavas and pyroclastic edifices. They provide critical insights into the eruptive behaviour of kimberlite magmas that are not available at other known kimb...

The origin of pelletal lapilli in explosive kimberlite eruptions (2012)
Journal Article
Gernon, T., Brown, R., Tait, M., & Hincks, T. (2012). The origin of pelletal lapilli in explosive kimberlite eruptions. Nature Communications, 3, Article 832. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms1842

Kimberlites are volatile-rich magmas from mantle depths of ≥150 km and are the primary source of diamonds. Kimberlite volcanism involves the formation of diverging pipes or diatremes, which are the locus of high-intensity explosive eruptions. A consp...
