Abstract
Abstract Volatile constituents are found to occur abundantly in the liquid inclusions in quartz of an area south of the Gotthard massif, in the Lepontine Alps between the Greina and Simplon cols, where Mesozoic sediments have been subjected to strong Alpine metamorphism. Comparisons with neighboring regions suggest that processes of recrystallization can be attributed in large part to soaking by volatile-rich fluids. The petrogenetic and tectonic significance of the presence of fluids rich in CO <sub>2</sub> is discussed.
