Meta-sedimentary rocks including marbles and calcsilicates in Central Dronning Maud Land (CDML) in East Antarctica experienced
a Pan-African granulite facies metamorphism with peak metamorphic conditions around 830 ± 20 °C at 6.8 ± 0.5 kbar which was
accompanied by the post-kinematic intrusion of huge amounts of syenitic (charnockitic) magmas at 4.5 ± 0.7 kbar. The marbles
and calcsilicates may represent meta-evaporites as indicated by the occurrence of metamorphic gypsum/anhydrite and Cl-rich
scapolite that formed in the presence of saline fluids with
X
NaCl in the range 0.15–0.27. The marbles and calcsilicates bear biotite, tremolite and/or hornblende and humite group minerals
(clinohumite, chondrodite and humite) which are inferred to have crystallized at about 650 °C and 4.5 kbar. The syenitic intrusives
contain late-magmatic biotite and amphibole (formed between 750 and 800 °C) as well as relictic magmatic fayalite, orthopyroxene
and clinopyroxene. Two syenite and two calcsilicate samples contain fluorite. Corona textures in the marbles and calcsilicates
suggest very low fluid-rock ratios during the formation of the retrograde (650 °C) assemblages. Biotite in all but two syenite
samples crystallized at log(

HF) values of up to 5.2. A few samples, though, overlap with the syenite values. Log(

HCl) derived from biotite covers the range 0.5–2.6 in all rock types. Within a single sample, the calculated values for both
parameters vary typically by 0.1 to 0.8 log units. Water and halogen acid fugacities calculated from biotite-olivine/orthopyroxene-feldspar-quartz
equilibria and the above fugacity ratios are 1510–2790 bars for H
2O, 1.3–5.3 bars for HF and 7–600 bars for HCl. The results are interpreted to reflect the reaction of relatively homogeneous
magmatic fluids [in terms of log(

O
/
f
HF)] derived from the late-magmatic stages of the syenites with both earlier crystallized, still hotter parts of the syenites
and with adjacent country rocks during down-temperature fluid flow. Fluorine is successively removed from the fluid and incorporated
into F-bearing minerals (close to the syenite into metamorphic fluorite). In the course of this process log(
