Fluorine behavior during the partial melting of two-mica bearing protoliths have been experimentally investigated at 700 to 930 °C and 0.4 and 0.6 GPa. Muscovite dehydration and H2O-HF fluid assisted partial melting experiments were carried out using both a natural and synthetic two-mica schist made of natural micas. The mineral composition of the experiments was assessed by BSE imaging and EDS analyses. The F, Cl and major elements contents of the glass and micas were determined by EPMA.The muscovite dehydration melting reaction is muscovite + quartz + plagioclase = peraluminous melt + biotite + sillimanite + potassic feldspar ± hercynite. The starting biotite stays largely stable showing only minor melt + ilmenite and trace magnetite formation in the cleavages. The neo-formed biotite shows similar F contents and a slightly higher XSid component when compared to the starting biotite. HF-added experiments yield F-rich neoformed biotite.The obtained melts consisted of a peraluminous leucogranite with F contents increasing with F-rich protoliths. The bulk partition coefficient DF schist/melt increases from 0.5 to 3.0 when the F content of the protolith rises from 0.05 to 1.2 wt%. The partition coefficient, KdF Bt/melt , increases from 2.0 to 6.0 where the biotite MgO content increases from 5 to 18 wt%.The natural partition coefficient KdF Bt/Ms , measured for a set of rocks with a varied lithology from the Seridó Belt, NE, Brazil, was 2.7 ± 0.5.The obtained F partition coefficients, along with published F partition coefficients, between biotite and melt, biotite and muscovite, and fluid and melt, allow for the modeling of F behavior during muscovite dehydration and fluid-present melting. F-rich, two-mica protoliths will increase F partitioning in favor of the micaceous anatectic residue compared This is the peer-reviewed, final accepted version for American Mineralogist, published by the Mineralogical Society of America.The published version is subject to change.
