You're welcome, RTV! -- Re. your Q: here's a link to Ashton's paper given at the International Kimberlite Conference in South Africa last year (April/'98): victoryventures.com Excerpt from the Ashton presentation: ---- "The Buffalo Hills Kimberlite Province, North-central Alberta, Canada" ...To date, 15 kimberlites have been discovered in the province, with inferred sizes ranging from <1 to ~45 ha. Some pipes are covered by variable thicknesses of glacial overburden up to 90 m deep. Several kimberlites outcrop, including the spectacular example of kimberlite K5 that forms a hill some 60 m high. Deep seismic profiles suggest that many kimberlites in the province exhibit distinct pipe-like morphologies, with initial pipe flaring apparently beginning at the boundary between Precambrian and Phanerozoic sequences. U-Pb dating of perovskite suggests that the Buffalo Hills kimberlites were emplaced between 86 (+ or -) 3 and 88 (+ or -) 5Ma. Initial petrological studies of the Buffalo Hills kimberlites indicate that all material recovered to date is crater facies. A diatreme -facies component has not as yet been identified in drill core from depths of up to 200 m... ---- There's lots more at the above link to read. Also, here's a link to Ashton Canada's website: ashton.ca regards, -j :> PS, Gordon M., a happy & prosperous 1999 to you too!
