The charnockite-anorthosite suite of rocks exposed in central Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica: a study on fluid-rock interactions, and post-entrapment change of metamorphic fluid inclusions
The study area of central Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica is a typical example of a granulite facies Precambrian terrane that was exposed to substantial polymetamorphism during the late Neoproterozoic/early Palaeozoic. Fluid inclusion studies from typical representatives of the charnockite-anort...

The study area of central Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica is a typical example of a granulite facies Precambrian terrane that was exposed to substantial polymetamorphism during the late Neoproterozoic/early Palaeozoic. Fluid inclusion studies from typical representatives of the charnockite-anorthosite suite of rocks, associated gneisses and syenitic intrusives give new constraints on both peak metamorphic conditions and post-peak metamorphic processes during retrograde uplift. Detailed petrographical studies were supported by Electron Microprobe techniques and combined with microthermometry and Raman spectrometry data.Three distinct fluid phases, either consisting of CO2±N2, H2O-salt or CO2±N2±H2O- salt were differentiated. All fluid inclusion types are hosted by plagioclase, quartz and garnet and display textural relationships indicative for a primary (metamorphic or magmatic) origin. The CO2±N2 fluid is most abundant, and it is assumed that it played an important role during metamorphic charnockite formation and anorthosite emplacement.
