Short summary

In order to refine our understanding of how fluid inclusions were trapped in the host minerals, we observed mercury inclusions in quartz samples using X-ray computed tomography technique. We obtained three-dimensional spatial distributions, and analyzed them using fractal and multifractal methods. Given the fractal dimension and its implied mechanism, the mercury-bearing fluids were not primary fluid inclusions, but migrated into the pre-existing cracks of quartz crystals by diffusion processes.
