Fluid inclusions from a biotite-garnet schist in the Southern Aravalli Mountain Belt (India) give information on both peak metamorphic conditions and post-peak metamorphic processes during uplift. A combination of careful petrography, microthermometry and Raman spectroscopy reveals the presence of at least ®ve generations of enclosed¯uids. Lower amphibolitefacies pressure-temperature conditions of the growth of garnet rims are reproduced by the highest¯uid density of the relatively oldest inclusion type of CO 2 (N 2 )-rich compositions. A calculated¯uid composition in the COH system, in equilibrium with the graphite buer corresponds to a CO 2 -rich¯uid at metamorphic conditions. However, the results of these calculations are very sensitive to small¯uctuations in oxygen fugacity and the accuracy of thermodynamic properties of mineral equilibria. Re-equilibration, conceived by speci®c sizedensity distribution and the absence of an aqueous phase in inclusions that contain nahcolite crystals, is monitored in these inclusions as post-peak metamorphic processes, like partial decrepitation and preferential leakage. The other¯uid types represent heterogeneous uid trapping of coexisting aqueous NaCl-bearing solutions with CO 2 -CH 4 -rich vapour bubbles in healed cracks, and probably the introduction of external¯uids containing high salinity aqueous CaCl 2 -rich solutions in nearly pure N 2 vapour bubbles, at lower P-T conditions. This study illustrates that¯uid inclusions remain a valuable database of peak metamorphic conditions, moreover, alterations of the entrapped¯uids and surrounding crystals are illustrative for speci®c exhumation evolutions.
