From granulite fluids to quartz-carbonate megashear zones: The gold rush

From granulite fluids to quartz-carbonate megashear zones: The gold rush

At peak granulite-facies metamorphic conditions, lower continental crust is arguably fluxed by large amounts of two key low water activity fluids: (i) high-density CO2 and/or (ii) concentrated saline solutions. These fluids are either internally-derived, generated by mineral reactions or dehydration...
