The diamond-bearing, ultrahigh-pressure Kokchetav Massif recrystallized at eclogite-facies conditions deep in the mantle at 180-km depth at 535±3 Ma, and yet new40Ar/39Ar ages suggest that it may have been exhumed to crustal depths (as indicated by closure of mica to Ar loss) by ∼529 Ma. These data indicate a possible exhumation rate of tens of kilometers per million years, i.e., a rate that is comparable to rates of horizontal plate motion and subduction.
