Abstract

Based on a detailed petrographic investigation and geological observations of the Paleoproterozoic Kimozero kimberlite (Karelia, Russia), we present a new model of kimberlite pipe with multiphase and mono-crater structure. We recognised volcanoclastic and coherent kimberlite series that filled the inner and outer zones of the kimberlite crater. The multiphase structure, emplacement style, petrography and reconstructed size of the Kimozero kimberlite correspond to Phanerozoic kimberlite pipes.
