To illustrate the appUcation of these methods we have analysed selected samples from different suites of cratonic peridotites for PGE abundances and Re-Os isotopic composition that had been previously analysed for major elements (Table 1). The sample set comprises three peridotites from the Jericho kimberlite, Northern Slave Craton (Irvine et al. 1999 Kopylova Russell 2000) two peridotites from the Kaapvaal Craton (Pearson et al. 1995a Carlson et al. 1999) three peridotites from the Farm Louwrencia kimberlite, Southern Namibia, on the periphery of the Kaapvaal Craton (Pearson et al. 1994, 1998a Hoal et al. 1995 Frantz et al. 1996) three peridotites from the Vitim alkali basalt field, on the southern margin of the Siberian Craton (Ionov et al. 1993 Pearson et al. 19986). [Pg.73]

Southern Namibia (Pearson et al. 1994 Pearson 1999a). It should be noted that no Archaean Trd ages are observed for off-craton peridotites.

Peridotites from the Newlands kimberlite, in the southern part of the Kaapvaal Craton, have a similar, but less tightly clustered mean Tru age of 2.6 0.4Ga, median 2.6 Ga (Table 2) compared with the Northern Lesotho peridotites. Those from the Kimberley area, in the SW of the craton, show a tightly clustered distribution of Tro and Tma ages with a mean Trd age of 2.6 0.2 Ga, median 2.7 Ga, and a mean Tma age of 2.9 0.1 Ga (Table 2). Peridotites forming lithosphere in the north of the craton (Letlhakane, Bots-... [Pg.81]
