Abstract
Natural titanoclinohumite was reacted in Pt capsules, using open air furnaces, hydrothermal and piston-cylinder apparatus. The reaction was not reversed, nor was it defined in terms of mineral products. Dehydration begins with the formation of forsterite at 950°C at 1 atm., 1150°C at 10 kbar, 1190°C at 20 kbar, and 1170°C at 30 kbar. Therefore, titanoclinohumite can exist as a hydrous mineral in the upper mantle. The reconnaissance results are consistent with the conclusion that titanoclinohumite coexisted with chrome-pyrope and olivine at the mantle source of the Moses Rock kimberlite; they make it unlikely that titanoclinohumite supplied water for the emplacement and eruption of the Moses Rock kimberlite through dehydration above 150 km but they do not preclude the possibility at greater depths.
