Description

Educational graphs spotted en route down to the Mantle Room, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Cape Town.

Situated in the bowels of the Leslie Social Sciences Building on upper campus, the Mantle Room ""houses a collection of upper mantle-derived materials (mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts, kimberlites and related rocks and megacrysts, as well as deep crystal xenoliths) that is most likely the largest of its kind. The collection was assembled over the past 50 years and has been and continues to be an invaluable and irreplaceable resource for mantle research. Informally named the “Mantle Room” collection, it is maintained under the auspices of the Department of Geological Sciences”(Department of Geological Sciences 2021).
