The Mg-rich whiteschist in Western Alps has a protolith of Permian granite.
Low δ18O metamorphic zircon indicates metasomatism by low δ18O fluids.
High δ26Mg values for whiteschist suggest metasomatism by high δ26Mg fluids.
The metasomatic fluid was derived from dehydration of talc and antigorite in serpentinite.
The supracrustal rock was infiltrated by the Mg-rich fluid at the slab–mantle interface.
