Abstract
Initial studies of kimberlites (Wagner 1914) demonstrated that they occur as carrot-shaped vertical intrusions termed pipes or diatremes and as tabular dikes (fissure kimberlites).
Extinct volcanoes brood in silence Ask scatters down into their keep Reposing from their evil deeds The giants are now sunk in sleep.
