Gord, winspear.com winspear.com Another term for cone sheet is ring dyke. Imagine a circular dyke, 5 kilometers in diameter, dipping inwards, towards the feeder/blind pipe at a depth of about 700 meters. The top figure shows the indicator mineral train south east of Snap Lake. The width of the train approximates the diameter of the circular ring dyke where it subcrops. The second figure shows a cross section through a portion of the ring dyke and illustratres its dip towards the apex where we all hope the top of a monster blind pipe will be found. I would think that it would take one heck of a magmatic event to inject over 120 million tonnes of orangeite into a cone shaped bowl with a diameter of 5 kilometers and an average thickness of 2.6 meters. Just think of the energy it must have taken to lift a cone shaped plug of country rock 5 kilometers accross and over 1000 meters deep at the apex, about 2.6 meters to rapidly inject all that highly diamondiferous magma!!!I hope this helps visualize the monster at Snap Lake aka "diamond discovery of the century" to cite Dr. Bob. regards, teevee
