Back Cover:  The plasma torch of the Nu Plasma multicollector ICPMS (centre) runs at the temperature of the Sun's surface.  It lit up one of GEMOC's major breakthroughs in 2000/2001 - the development of in situ Re-Os analysis of sulfide grains in mantle rocks, such as this garnet peridotite xenolith (left).  Dating of sulfide grains enclosed in olivine macrocrysts from the Udachnaya kimberlite yielded many high-precision ages (right) showing that the subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath this terrane of Siberia formed between 3 and 3.5 Ga ago, and lithosphere formation ended around 2.7 Ga (see Research Highlights).
