Analyses of fluid inclusions in magmatic quartz from granite identify fluid sources and decipher their role in earliest hydrothermal processes.
CO2 from a deep-seated crust/upper mantle reservoir and water of meteoric origin are trapped in magmatic quartz PFI.
Granite intrusion occurred in a wrench zone that provided the shear necessary to concentrate the final leucocratic melt in vertical planes.
Thermohaline convection of buoyant “cold” hydrothermal water over heavy “hot” magmatic water allows mixing of surface and deep fluids in PFI.
