Charnockites from the Skallen area in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region of East Antarctica show carbonic fluid inclusions trapped within garnet, feldspar and quartz. Microthermometric and micro-Raman laser analyses characterize these fluids to be pure CO_2. With a maximum density of 1.05g/cm^3,these fluids...
