| Description | Many granulites contain CO2 rich high density fluid inclusions (carbonic fluids). This observation has led to the concept of carbonic metamorphism, the dry character of granulites being less explained by the absence of water (vapor absent metamorphism) than by the presence of a CO2-rich fluid phase which dilutes the water and lowers considerably its partial pressure. Recent observations have indicated that the situation is much more complicated than initially assumed and that any interpretation must be carefully evaluated and discussed against other, independent evidence. The nature of fluid inclusions and the interpretation of fluid inclusion densities are discussed. |
