Diamonds on the Earth mainly occur in volcanic rocks such as kimberlites and lamproites^([1-8]),but can also be found in ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks^([9-10]),meteorites^([11])and alluvial deposits^([12]).In r...
Post-Neoproterozoic dolerites from the Kéniéba region (Western Mali) are often associated with kimberlites. The rarity of kimberlite outcrops led to the study of doleritic rocks, spatially associated with them. The ...
Magmatism in the Cretaceous sedimentary basins of the Figuil and Léré regions constitutes one of the fundamental parameters in the reconstruction of the history of the Cretaceous sedimentary basins. The main objecti...
"Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF)" through the BAGL (Bureau Afrique Centrale et des Grands Lacs) for financial support of Le Projet de soutien aux équipes de recherche 2012/2013 (No 51110SU201) for supplement analyses;"Laboratoire GEOPS" of the University Paris-Saclay is thanked for financial support of thin sections and electron microprobe analyses。
The Temtebasement in North Cameroon is crosscut by dyke swarms with N 20°–40°trending,including dykes 15–30 m wide,up to 3 km-long.Representative rocks exhibit intersertal to sub-ophitic textures.Electron micropro...
This work presents the petrographic and geochemical data of the dolerite dykes crosscutting the Pan-African basement of Figuil (North-Cameroon) and Léré (South-West Chad) in order to approach their petr...

The mafic dykes(dolerites)during the Early Paleozoic are widely spread in Langao-Ziyang,southern Qiling Block,and the investigation on these dykes are very important.Previous studies have mainly focused on the Siluria...
Two petrochemical types of doleritic dykes have been distinguished in Bafoussam area: 1) the olivine-bearing dolerites which are the most representative are dark green, showing characteristics of alkaline basalts and,...
This article examined the use of the 40Ar/39Ar incremental heating and K/Ar analyses to date dolerites located in the extreme north region in Brazil. The material used for dating was whole rock a...
