I meant to ask you if you had any opinion of Hal U of M's Wanless, Balta. I saw him present a seminar last week to a standing room crowd at my institute and I was pretty impressed.

Obviously I've heard of "U of M" before, and I've heard of a guy named Wanless before, but I have no idea what "Hal U of M Wanless" means.

pffft, I meant "Hal Wanless from U of M" but muffed it. He let me know my house would be beachfront property in about 50 years.

but how dies it happen? The embedding?

Diamonds, for example, are xenoliths that are entrained in a specific type of eruption called a kimberlite. They are more dense than the liquid and sit in equilibrium within the mantle. However, the liquid is moving fast enough and its viscosity is high enough that the liquid is able to pick up and carry these xenoliths. Once it reaches the surface, the liquid cools, trapping anything it picked up en route.
