Abstract:Fluid inclusions in the metamorphic aureole of the Eureka Valley-Joshua Flat-Beer Creek (EJB) pluton in the White-Inyo Range, California, reveal the compositions and origin of fluids that were present during variable recrystallization of quartzite with sedimentary grain shapes to metaquartzite with granoblastic texture. Metamorphosed sedimentary formations, including quartzites, marbles, calcsilicates and schists, became ductile and strongly attenuated in the aureole during growth of the magma chamber.
