Google is too dumb to let me put the list of news in this column and falsely claims that all my pages are self-duplicates.

Google's so-called "Artificial Intelligence" is an abuse of the concept of intelligence!

Additional data about how many  fluid inclusions in a sample actually decrepitate on heating?


In the previous discussion, only one of the 4 samples studied was described. The full data for all 4 samples is presented here.

All of the samples were collected from the Pine Creek region, 200 Km south of Darwin, NT, Australia. This region has been an area of minor gold production since the mid 1800's.

PCB4 contains CO2 rich fluid inclusions and has quite intense decrepitation.

PCB5 contains essentially no CO2 rich fluid inclusions.

PCE3 contains a small number of gas rich CO2 fluid inclusions.
