Fig. 3. Trd ages of Siberian whole-rock peridotites (Pearson et al. 1995ft), mostly from the Udachnaya kimberlite, compared with Tma ages of sulphides from Udachnaya olivine macrocrysts (Pearson et al. 2000) and Tma ages from Udachnaya diamond inclusions (Pearson et al. 1999).

A diamond bearing kimberlite pipe was discovered in Siberia in 1954. There are at least 300 kimberlite pipes in Siberia. The most productive of these is the Udachnaya mine near the town of Udachnaya.
