The precise chronology of geological events on Mars is hampered by the lack of absolute ages for the Martian timescale, and the significant uncertainties that result from the extrapolation of the lunar timescale to Mars (Hartmann and Neukum, 2001). Martian meteorites represent the only samples of Mars currently available. Attempts to identify source craters for the meteorites have thus far proven...
Kimberlite, a deep-sourced ultramafic potassic rock, carries not only diamond, but also invaluable mantle xenoliths and/or xenocrysts, which are important for tracking the evolution of subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). However, it is challenging to accurately determine the emplacement age of kimberlite and its compositions of primary magma because of modifications by crustal and/or mantle...
