Summary:

Paleoproterozoic to Cenozoic lamprophyres, lamproites & related rock types are volatile-rich mafic magmatic rocks with a unique potential for the investigation of processes affecting mantle reservoirs. They originated from primary mantle-derived melts that intruded both cratons & offcraton regions, which were parts of former supercontinents - Columbia, Rodinia & Gondwana-Pangea. Well-known for hosting economic minerals & elements such as diamonds, base metals, gold & platinum-group elements, they are also significant for our understanding of deep-mantle processes, such as mantle metasomatism & mantle plume-lithosphere interactions, as well as large-scale geodynamic processes, such as subduction-related tectonics, & supercontinent amalgamation & break-up. This text provides a timely overview of the state-of-the-art & recent advances as achieved by various research groups around the world.
