Soory Joe thats not the current thinking. Kimberlite emplacement is a volcanic event but dont think of red hot lava volcanoes, if the kimberlite came in that hot no diamonds would survive. Mostly the erruptions are gas and kimberlite comes into the path thus cleared and is relatively cool by the time it makes it to surface. So the theory is the trees fell into the kimberlite. regards Walt
