Marble, a metacarbonate rock, occurs in various orogenic belts throughout the Earth's history. We newly determined C–O isotopecompositions of upper amphibolite-facies dolomitic marbles from the Hida Belt, Japan. The C–O isotope compositions of dolomitic marble are characterized by δ¹³C[VPDB] = –3.3 to +2.8‰, δ¹⁸O[SMOW] = +8.6 to +20.0‰ respectively; overall, calcite tends to show lower δ¹³C values than dolomite. New data can be explained by the result of the olivine forming decarbonation reaction.
