Diamonds and the inclusions that they host as well as eclogites and peridotites can be used to study the evolution of the continental lithospheric mantle. Recent advances come from the application of the naturally occurring beta decay of 187-rhenium to 187-osmium to these rocks and minerals, a technique which was pioneered at the Carnegie Institution. Studies such as these are the perhaps the best direct probe we have of ancient continental tectonics at mantle depths.
