Short summary
Serpentines, magnesian clay-like minerals formed in subduction zones, contain iron in either ferrous or ferric form. The oxidation state of the iron form controls the composition of fluids that form when they are destabilized by heating. Results obtained here with Mössbauer spectroscopy are compared with X-ray spectroscopy and shown to be more reliable for serpentines and magnesium-rich chlorites. Fluids released by serpentines in subduction may be less oxidized than previously thought.
