Abstract Isotope fractionation of carbon between CO2 and carbon dissolved in a tholeiitic magma measured in the range 1120–1280 ° C, 7.0–8.4 Kb varies from 4.6 to 4‰ in favor of CO2. These results make possible to explain all deep seated 13C values from a restricted range of primary mantle 13C concentrations. They also suggest that carbon could be dissolved in basaltic magmas in a reduced form.
