Abstract
Petrological and mineralogical evidence indicates that bulk F concentrations are dominated by the presence of amphibole and apatite, whereas Cl and Br are mainly hosted in fluid inclusions rather than in hydrous minerals. The variation of F/Cl and Br/Cl ratios may trace the mixing between MORB magmas and seawater-derived fluids, crystallization of apatite and amphibole, and/or extraction of magmatic fluids. Our data support the current S budget of oceanic crust, but indicate that the budgets of C and Cl may have been underestimated.
