Mantle-derived xenoliths of spinel lherzolite, spinel pyroxenite, garnet pyroxenite and
wehrlite from Bullenmerri and Gnotuk maars, southwestern Victoria, Australia contain up to 3 …

Detailed microscopic studies of rocks from virtually all terrestrial environments show that one
or more minerals in these rocks contain small quantities of liquid (or glass) and/or vapor …

Pervasive flooding of CO2 has been proposed as the cause of granulite facies
metamorphism that is capable of producing many distinctive characteristics of the deep …

Abstract Intermediate (An 25-An 48) plagioclase feldspars from the Nordre Strømfjord shear
zone, central West Greenland, have undergone extensive ductile deformation by …

The Archean was the principal period for gold mineralization. These rocks compose∼ 12%
of the exposed crust but have produced more than half of the world's gold. Most major lode …

Abstract In the Neoarchean (~ 2.7 Ga) contact metamorphosed charnockitic footwall of the
Mesoproterosoic (1.1 Ga) South Kawishiwi intrusion of the Duluth Complex, the primary …

Dislocations in intermediate plagioclase feldspars, which were deformed under granulite
facies conditions, have been analysed. The study reveals extensive ductile deformation by …

Nearly pure CO2 fluid inclusions are abundant in migmatites although H2O‐rich fluids are
predicted from the phase equilibria. Processes which may play a role in this observation …

The continental deep crust is normally nearly fluid-absent. During and after active tectonism
(extension, thrusting or shearing), fluids may be abundant in the deep crust and may be …

The source of volatiles in the continental crust is a long-standing issue. In addition to
controlling the amount of melt generated during anatexis, H 2 O and CO 2 budgets of the …
