Number of CIs; number of fluid inclusion assemblages of CIs or isolated CIs; : volume proportion of solid phases in CIs at room temperature; : disappearance temperature of H2O vapor bubble in HDAC cell; : homogenization temperature of fluid phase in CIs; : state of the homogenized fluid in CIs; : initial dissolution temperature of daughter minerals in CIs; : total dissolution temperature of daughter minerals in CIs; : pressure in HDAC at the (i.e., external pressure of CIs at ); calculated from densities obtained from using the equation of state of H2O formulated by Zhang and Duan [27], which is more accurate than that by Haar et al. [28] based on recent calibrations using α-β quartz phase transition [29]; : liquid H2O; : liquid CO2; CT: critical phase of H2O and CO2; or was not obvious or not observed during heating.
