Abstract The carbon isotopic composition of CO2 from fluid inclusions in granulite facies rocks has been determined. The “primary” carbonic fluid — most probably being of Upper Mantle origin — appears to have δ 13C-values around −15%. or even lighter up to −20%. During the late stages of retromorphosis an enrichment in the heavy carbon isotope seems to occur resulting in δ-values between −5 and −7%. which, on the basis of 13C/12C ratios of carbonatites, kimberlites and diamonds have been taken up till now as representative for juvenile carbon. The implications of these findings are discussed.
