Abstract

In the previous studies on the stability of hydrosilicates in Archean granulite facies pelitic and basic rocks from the Limpopo Belt, South Africa, the metamorphic fluid had been found rich in CO₂ or low in a (H₂O) (<< 0.5). However, these rocks contain little carbonate minerals. Although such low values for a (H₂O) may explain the relative absence of melting in the high-grade rocks (>800°C) of the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt, a fluid composition of the granulite facies carbonate rocks in the Central Zone has not been investigated. In this paper, we discuss the carbonate rocks of the Beit Bridge Complex near Tshipise in the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt, South Africa to find the dominant gas species. -Authors
