Description
Summary:Arising from: L. Wilson & J. W. Head III Nature447, 53–57 (2007)10.1038/nature05692 ; Wilson & Head reply Wilson and Head 1 model kimberlite ascent and eruption by considering the propagation of a volatile-rich dyke. Wilson and Head’s model has features in common with Sparks et al. 2 , but it is inconsistent with geological observations and constraints on volatile solubility. Here we show that this may be due to erroneous physical assumptions.
