W, aqueous inclusion; C, aqueous-carbonic inclusion; , melting temperature of solid CO2; , temperature of CO2-clathrate dissociation; , homogenization temperature of CO2; , ice-melting temperature; , total homogenization temperature. All of fluid inclusions including W-type and C-type FIs homogenize into the liquid phase.
