Determination of fluid inclusions compositions in the H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 system
Description
This Microsoft Excel spreadsheet implements the model of Steele-MacInnis et
al. (2009) to allow determination of fluid inclusion compositions in the
H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 system using either combination of measured melting temperatures
(Tm) or Tm plus microanalytical compositional data (XNaCl) (e.g., from
LA-ICPMS). The model is applicable for fluid inclusions in which either ice,
hydrohalite, halite or antarcticite (or other CaCl2 hydrate) is the last solid
phase to melt.
