Abstract: Abstract Arising from: L. Wilson & J. W. Head III Nature 447, 53–57 (2007)10.1038/nature05692 ; Wilson & Head reply Wilson and Head1 model kimberlite ascent and eruption by considering the propagation of a volatile-rich dyke. Wilson and Head’s model has features in common with Sparks et al.2, but it is inconsistent with geological observations and constraints on volatile solubility. Here we show that this may be due to erroneous physical assumptions.
