O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geologia e Geoquímica (PPGG) do Instituto de Geociências (IG) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) surgiu em 1976 como uma necessidade de desmembramento do então já em pleno desenvolvimento Curso de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Geofísicas e Geológicas (CPGG), instalado ainda em 1973 nesta mesma Universidade. Foi o primeiro programa stricto sensu de Pós-Graduação (mestrado e doutorado) em Geociências em toda Amazônia Legal. Ao longo de sua existência, o PPGG tem pautado sua atuação na formação na qualificação de profissionais nos níveis de Mestrado e Doutorado, a base para formação de pesquisadores e profissionais de alto nível. Neste seu curto período de existência promoveu a formação de 499 mestres e 124 doutores, no total de 623 dissertações e teses.

Aspecto tectôno-sedimentares do fanerozóico do nordeste do estado do Pará e noroeste do Maranhão, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1992-09-16) IGREJA, Hailton Luiz Siqueira da; FARIA JUNIOR, Luis Ercílio do Carmo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2860327600518536
A synthesis of the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Phanerozoic at Northeastern Pará and Northwestern Maranhão is discussed with enphasis to the Bragança-Viseu and São Luis basins. This research is based on field observations, gravity (Bouguer Anomalies), magnetic, seismic, and borehole data interpretations. Five sedimentary sequences are defined: 1) Piriá-Camiranga (Cambrian-Ordovician to Silurian), 2) Lower Itapecuru (Lower Cretaceous), 3) Upper Itapecuru (Upper Cretaceous), 4) Pirabas-Barreiras (Oligocene-Mioceneto Pliocene) and 5) Pará (Quaternarg). The regional basement is an igneous-metamorphic assemblage which outcrops in two windows. The sedimentary and structural features of the Piriá-Camiranga sequence are consistent with a tectono-sedimentary model of coastal environment with fluvio-glacial influence related to a tilted blocks system induced by strike-slip motion. This sequence represents an evolutive stage coincident to the Eo-Hercynian paroxysm (Paleozoic) which ended with the closure of the Atlantic I (first geotectonic cycle of the Gondwana). The Lower and Upper Itapecuru, as well as the Pirabas-Barreiras and Pará sequences, are related to the Equatorial Atlantic opening during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic times. They are analysed by severa), authors which reached the interpretations refered to as Models of: Fracture Zones; Anti-clockwise rotation of Africa; Intumescence and fracturing; Clockwise rotation of the South America Nate; and Wrench Tectonics. These models were experimented for the studied area. The time and environments of the sedimentary processes are related to the rift and pos-rift phases of the equatorial coastal basins, but these models were not adequate to explain the structural features. A new model is proposed to explain the origin and development of the basins taking into account a regional NE-SW extension axis and formation of the Bragança-Viseu and São Luís basins with similar polarities. The tectono-sedimentary map for the Phanerozoic of the Northeastern Pará / Northwestern Maranhão enhances the compatibility of the depositional and tectonics systems with two periods of oceanic opening of the Northern Gondwana border.

Aspectos lito-estruturais e evolução crustal da região centro-oeste de Goiás
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1985-11-13) COSTA, João Batista Sena; VILLAS, Raimundo Netuno Nobre; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1406458719432983; HASUI, Yociteru; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3392176511494801
The study area is bounded by the cities Paraíso do Norte, Gurupi, and Dianópolis in north-central Goiás State. The area contains diverse lithostratigraphic units and various generations of structures related to distinct thermo-tectonic events. Based on the distribution and the petrographic and structural characteristics of the ancient rock assemblage, four litho-structural domains were defined and attributed to the Archean. Domain "1" includes the region of Almas-Dianópolis and is interpreted as part of granite-greenstone terrane. It includes a group of tonalitic gneisses with associated supracrustal rocks (Goiano Complex), a sequence of metavolcanic rocks and metasediments (Riachão do Ouro Group), and various tonalite bodies (Serra do Boqueirão Suite) intruded into the earlier units. The evolution of the domain includes three principal deformational events: a) Formation of the amphibolites and/or biotite gneisses and granitoids characterized by sub-vertical banding oriented N10ºE and accompanied by mineralogical changes under conditions of amphibolite facies; b) deposition of the Riachão do Ouro Group, followed by isoclinal folding oriented N10°E and consequent transformation to greenschist facies. The emplacement of the tonalitic diapirs of the Serra do Boqueirão Suite is related to this event; c) a foliation gently inclined to the SE resulting from a simple low-angle ductile-brittle shearing process which affected the west part of this domain, transforming the rocks of the Goiano Complex into mylonitic gneisses under amphibolite facies conditions. Domain 2 includes the counties of Porto Nacional, Brejinho de Nazaré, and Natividade in the east-central part of the area. It is characterized by granulitic gneisses (Porto Nacional Complex), by tonalitic gneisses with associated supracrustal rocks (Manoel Alves Complex), including metasediments and metavolcanics (Morro do Aquiles Formation), and by pegmatitic granites such as the Xobó Suite. The different lithologic units take the form of lenses or sub-horizontal concordant to sub-concordant bodies with strike N30°E. They show structural features produced by a low-angle ductile-brittle shearing process under amphibolite facies conditions. Superposed on the low-angle features are various zones of high-angle directional shear having different intensities of deformation, but all in greenschist facies conditions. Domain 3 is within the NW part of Paraiso do Norte county and is interpreted as a granite-greenstone terrane similar to that of Domain 1. This Domain includes the Colméia Complex, the Rio do Coco Group, and the alkaline gneisses of Monte Santo. Two principal deformational phases are responsible for the structures in this domain: a) folding (S) of the gneissic granitoids of the Colméia Complex into recumbent folds oriented E-W. The axial plane schistosity (S1) formed in medium to amphibolite facies conditions; b) deposition of the Rio do Coco Group, discordant with the Colméia Complex, followed by sub-vertical folding oriented E-W. The second generation of folds in the Colméia Complex is related to this deformational event. Domain 4, in the west-central part of the area, includes parts of Paraíso do Norte, Fatima, Gurupi, and Porto Nacional counties. This domain is composed of the Rio dos Mangues Complex, the Matança and Serrote Suites, and the alcaline gneisses of the Serra da Estrela, distributed in sub-concordant sheets oriented N30°E. Similarly to that observed in Domain 2, these rock assemblages show structural features related to low-and high-angle shearing events. The transition between Domains 1 and 2 and between Domains 3 and 4 is gradational, such that two ancient blocks of crust are defined (Domains 1+2 and 3+4] separated by a belt of granulitic rocks (Porto Nacional Complex). The zone of juxtaposition corresponda to a belt of low-angle ductile shearing developed by the overthrusting of the Brazilian block, on the east, onto the Araguacema block to the west. Similar geologic conditions have been well characterized in South Africa, in western Greenland, and in NW Scotland and are beginning to be described in various regions in Brazil, constituting a new way to understand the relations between Archean terranes. Granite bodies of the Lajeado Suite at the end of the Lower Proterozoic and ultrabasic bodies in the first half of the Middle Proterozoic were injected into this crustal segment stabilized at the end of the Archean. During this epoch the Transbrazilian Lineament became defined as a brittle shear zone. Basins were developed in the second half of the Middle Proterozoic, with deposition of the Baixo Araguaia Supergroup and the Natividade Group. These two are separated today by a block limited by the cities of Paraíso do Norte, Gurupi, and Porto Nacional. The Transbrazilian Lineament was reactivated in this period.At the end of the Middle Proterozoic an E-W regional compression produced the Araguaia and Uruaçu fold belts. The evolution of the Araguaia fold belt involved four stages of structural deformation. In the first stage, N-S recumbent folds were formed having axial plane schistosity (S1) developed in intermediate amphibolite facies to intermediate greenschist facies conditions. The intermediary stages involved folding and refolding of the S1. The last stage is related to the formation of domai structures resulting from the intrusion of the granite bodies of the Santa Luzia Suite. As a result of this evolution, the Araguaia belt has an importent asymmetry characterized by intensification of deformation and mineralogical transformations from west to east. The Uruaçu fold belt is In general characterized by folds with variably-oriented axial planes and mineralogical changes tipical of greenschist facies. In the studied region, regular variations In deformational intensity and metamorphic degree were not found. The immature sediments of the Monte do Carmo Formation are the products of the last lithogenetic processes of the Middle Proterozoic in the area. During the evolution of the Araguaia and Uruaçu fold belts, the north part of the Goiano massif had a limited participation in such a way that it functioned as a rigid block with respect to the folding on either side. The final products related to the polycyclic evolution of this crustal segment during the Priecambrian are represented by directional fault systems oriented principally N40º -60ºE and N40º -50º W. The NE system of faults reflects a reactivation of the Transbrazilian Lineament in the Upper Proterozoic. Thick sedimentary sequences were deposited in the Phanerozoic and new movements on the Transbrazilian Lineament caused the development of important block faulting which is reflected in part by the present-day geomorphology of the area.

Estudo tectono-sedimentar da Bacia de Jaibaras, na região entre as cidades de Pacujá e Jaibaras, noroeste do estado do Ceará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1996-04-22) QUADROS, Marcos Luiz do Espírito Santo; ABREU, Francisco de Assis Matos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9626349043103626
Studies carried out in southwestern portion of the Jaibaras Basin in the area of the 300 km², situated between the Pacujá and Jaibaras towns, northwest region of Ceará State, including geological mapping in 1:25,000 scale, faciologic, petrographic and structural analysis of the Pacujá and Aprazível formations, allowed a better visualization of spatial distribution of these units, as well as the characterization of their depositional environment, structural pattern and, at last to take considerations about the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Jaibaras Basin. The Pacujá Formation is characterized by a folded and faulted volcanosedimentary sequence without fossils, made of rhythmic interlayers of fine arkosian sandstones to siltistones with pelites, occurring in tabular decimeter thick beds, laterally continuous, showing abrupt base and upward gradation to siltistones. The sandstones could be massive or stratified, showing planar lamination, micro-hummocky cross lamination, climbing wave -ripple cross lamination, locally parting lineation and convolute lamination. On the top of the sandstone beds occur symetrical and assymetrical wavy-ripples. Pelites show planar lamination and mudcracks. Interlayered with Pacujá Formation sediments occur volcanic and subvolcanic rocks (basalts, andesites, dacites and ryolites), at the form sills, dikes and flows, associated with volcaniclastic rocks, included on the Parapuí Suite. The environment of the Pacujá Formation was characterized as lacustrine with volcanism associated, subjected to storm-wave action, proved by the occurrence of microhummocky cross lamination.The rhythmics interlayering of sandstones and pelites characterizes tempestites cycles, usually incomplete. However, marine environment must be assoc iated, but unfortunately the field datas is insufficient to define this environments. In the Jaibaras Basin setting, Pacujá Formation represents the first deposicional pulse that extend from Neoproterozoic era to Cambrian period. This sedimentation occurred in an area wider than Jaibaras Basin out of their present boundaries. The Pacujá Formation shows a complex fold pattern, that resulted from superimposed folding, with geometric shapes similar to type 1 interference pattern - “domes and basins”, and kinks folds. This folding could be related to transpression in ductile -brittle regime, linked to the northest-southwest sinistral strike -slip system in the Eopaleozoic era, that caused a weak inversion of the Jaibaras Basin. The Aprazível Formation comprises a thin sedimentary sequence, faulted and tilted to southeastern on the whole, unconformably covering the Pacujá Formation. It is made of polymitic conglomerates, with clast-supported and matrix -supported framework, massive or stratified, with volcanic, gneiss, granite, rocks calcissilicatic, quartz, amphibolite, rhyolite, marble, mylonite, siltistone and sandstone clasts, varying in size from granules to boulders. The matrix is coarse to very coarse sandy arkosean, locally microconglomeratic. To a lesser proportion, occurs medium to very coarse grained arkosean sandstones, locally stratified, and intercalations of laterally continuos beds of arkosean sandstones and laminated pelites with mudcracks in surfaces of the beds. These sandstones show planar lamination, climbing-ripple cross lamination, and locally trough cross-bedding and convolute lamination. In the surface of sandstone beds, there are, occasionally, symetrical and assymetrical wave-ripples. The depositional environment of the Aprazível Formation was characterized as alluvial fan/plain, dominated by debris-flows and stream-flows, prograding distally over small lacustrine bodies. The tilting of the Aprazível Formation beds to southeastern, is a results from rotation of blocks, due to an extensional axis in the northwest-southeast direction, acting in Ordovician period, that controlled the deposition of Aprazível Formation in the area between Sobral-Pedro II and Café -Ipueiras shear zones. The Aprazível Formation represents the second and last depositional pulse that occurred in the Jaibaras Basin in the Ordovician period, in a more restrict depositional area, controled by Sobral-Pedro II e Café-Ipueiras shear zones. Its deposition occurred in a time interval between the post-Pacujá sequence and Meruoca Suite Granites, and pre-Serra Grande Group sequence of the Parnaiba Basin.

Evolução geológica da região de Tucuruí - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1982-05-27) MATTA, Milton Antonio da Silva; HASUI, Yociteru; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3392176511494801
The northern part of the Araguaia Belt is exposed in the Tucuruí region and their stratigraphic, structural, metamorphic and magmatic features had been studied aiming at contributing for the understanding of the geological evolution of the area. The oldest stratigraphic unit of the area is represented by the Xingu Complex, composed by gneisses and granitos and subordinated schists and anphibolites. These rocks show evidence of a polycyclic metamorphic and structural history. Over this unit, during the niddle Proterozoic, the Tucuruí Group was developed. The bottom of this unit is composed by a sequence of tholeiitic basal-tic flows which were hera enclosed in the Caripé Formation. The Morrote Formation, is made up of graywackes, and constitutes the upper part of the Tucurui Group. The geossinclinal evolution of the Araguaia Belt took place during the Uruaçuano Cycle. This geotectonic unit is represented in the studied area by the Couto Magalhães Formation (Tocantins Group) which comprises pelitic and psamitic metasediments. These rocks show a greenshist facies metamorphism and structures generated by two phases of deformation in conditions of lower structures level. After the metamorphism of the Araguaia Belt, the Couto Magalhães Formation acted as the place of mafic and ultramafic intrusion and, lately, the Tucuruí Fault thrusted the metamorphic rocks of the Tocantins Group over the Tucuruí Group lithotypes. This faulting, besides generating a. series of structural features in the both groups as well as in the later migmatites, has also induced a dynamic metamorphic event into the rocks under green-schist facies conditions. Through the statistic treatment of structural data from the denso fault population which cuts the area, it was possible to deduce the shertening and the eterlding directiors related to the progressivo deformation induced by the thrust faulting had acted from E to W. Post-faulting mafic dykes represent the last magmatic event related to the Mesozoic Era. During the Cenozoic the area was a place of Tertiary sedimentation (Barreiras Formation), with sand, clays and conglomeratic levels. A final reactivation was responsible for the fracturing and faulting showed by the Barreiras Formation lithotypes Quatérnaty deposits mostly alluvial sediments, are the final units of the area.

Evolução geotectônica do pré-cambriano da região meio norte do Brasil e sua correlação com a África Ocidental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1990-12-04) ABREU, Francisco de Assis Matos de; HASUI, Yociteru; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3392176511494801
This study presente a proposal for the geotectonic evolution for the pre-Cambrian portion of mid north region of Brazil and its correlation with western Africa based on the Integration of multldisciplinary geologic Information. Two types of geotectonic units are recognized: estabilized areas at the lower Proterozoic/early mid-Proterozoic (cratonic nuclei) and adjacent areas whose tectonic instability continued until the Phanerozoic (mobile belts). In the first case, one finds the Amazonian craton, not analysed in this work, and the Western African Craton/São Luis. The second case, assesses the vast reglon known In Brazil as Araguaia Belt and northwest of the Borborema Province that along with the southwest portion of the Tentugai Belt provide south continuity to the Parnaíba basin emergence. On the African side, the easternmost part of the West African Craton corresponding to the Pharusian, Daomeinian and to the west side of the Rocklides and Mauritanides belts, this last one with configurated evolution until the Hercynian Orogeny. In the cratonic nuclei one finds preserved geometric aspects which are fundamental for the past relationship between the more ancient sialitic crust where one visualizes the presence of globular batholiths, incrusted in high degree gneiss highly deformed and its cover often represented by sequences of the "greenstone belt type". The formation of this continental crust would have ocurred initlally by underplating being increased horizontaliy afterwards by primary cratonic nuclei. In the areas where tectonic Instability continued, continental Ilthosphere was extremely modified providing conditions for the establishment of sedimentary basins by colapse of the superstructure, generating magma simultaneously with plastic deformation that established complex relationships between gneiss and the roots of these basins, generating high degree terrain, low dip follations and migmatization zones. In the studied region, mostly on the Brazilian portion, these areas, where the Instability continued, involves a NE-SW macro shear beit, extending Itself from Africa, crossing the northwest of Ceará and continuing south under the sediment of the Parnaiba basin. These directions modify to E-W as they approach the African border at Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast at the border of the Amazonian. Craton reaching a NW-SE direction In the Guiana Shield. Basically, they encompass the northwest of Ceará In the NE-SW direction and the NE-SW strong gravimetric references. The high and medium degree rocks of this region are replaced in the northwest direction by low to medium degree rocks of the São Luis Craton and by the birrimian complex of volcano-sedimentary basins: the NW-SE Tentugai Belt establishes itself discontinually in relation to the NE-SW structures of the northwest belt of Ceará. Area of less expressive width with these same directions are found west of the Amazonlan Craton. There, it would have occurred a wide range of phenomena In terms of deformation processes that reached an expressive granitogenesis and cratonization with Rb/Sr ages with range of 1900-2000 Ma determining, therefore, the period in which these pheneomena ocurred in the Arquean and eariy Proterozoic. Plane and linear elements define geometrically in the various segments analyzed the special positions of the main axis of the ellipsoid of deformation. The general movement along the NE-SW and E-W segmente was dextral, with NW-SE and ENW-SSE secondary sinistrai directions of shear. The prevalling metamorphlc conditions in this period mark the presence of stabilized groups of minerais with inciplent to medium degree in the cratonic domaln, while at the beit the conditions of high degree and anatexia might have occurred for large areas. Such geotectonic matrix has conditioned geologic phenomena occurred in the region. The tectonic stability occurred was followed by the emergent of conditions for the deposition of important platform sequences with start around 1600-1700 Ma (Tarkwaiano, Gorotire, Guelb at Hadid etc.). The unstable conditions reappearred around 800-1000 Ma on a more restricted fashion in terms of their area of influence, and it resulted In the formation of an extensive crusta) mobility zone contouring stabilized cratonic areas in the early Proterozoic responsible by the development of the Farausian, Daomenian, northwest of Ceará, Tentugal, Rockelian, Mauritian and Araguaia belts. The distention processes were more important In the Faruslan Beit with the formation of an ocean crust (Bou Azzer ofiolites - Marrocos) and a continental crust strongiy percolated at the Araguaia Belt. In other areas the distention processes were lesa important. Large scale crustal reworking with total or partial rehomonization of rocke occurs in this region as well as granitogenesis with age around 500-600 Ma. Tardl-kinematic effects expressed through tectonic movements among the narrow linear zones and restrict molasses may have followed all these processes and are represented by the Jalbaras Group, Piriá Formation, Rio das Barreiras Formation, among others, In the early Eon Phanerozoic.

Evolução tectono-estrutural da região de Dianópolis-Almas, SE do estado de Tocantins
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1993-12-17) BORGES, Maurício da Silva; COSTA, João Batista Sena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0141806217745286
Several geological sequences of rocks with distinct ages of evolution were mapped in the Dianopólis-Almas region (southwestern part of the State of Tocantins) in the Brasília block: an extensive segment of an Archean-Lower Proterozoic granite-greenstone terrain, Proterozoic metasediments of the Bambuí Group, Cretaceous continental deposits of the Urucuia Formation, colluvial and alluvial (partially lateritized) and Holocenic fluvial-lacustrine deposits. The granite-greenstone terrains include several strands of supracrustal rocks (Riachão do Ouro Group) and granitoid bodies (Serra do Boqueirão Suite), both developed over migmatized tonalitic gneisses, granulites and amphibolites of the Alto Paranã Complex. The Riachão do Ouro Group is composed of phyllite, schist, meta-rhyolite, meta-dacite, iron formation, quartzite, metaconglomerate and breccia; phyllite, schist and metavolcanic rocks are the dominant lithologies. The Serra do Boqueirão Suite includes granitoids of tonalitic, trondhjemitic, granodioritic and granitic compositions, which were strongly deformed in the border zones and cut by pegmatite and aplite veins. All there lithological units underwent ductile deformation which formed an anastomosed pattern of N10-20E, N45E, and N55W transcurrent shear zones. Along the shear zones there are asymmetric or symmetric transpressive duplexes alternating with straigth segments. These structures can be seen extensively developed at supracrustal rock-granitoid boundaries and are characterized by mylonitic foliation parallel to the tectonic layering; other structures are represented by internal duplexes, shear bands, pods of less deformed rocks, extensional cleavage of C' type (crenulation cleavage) and brittle-ductile shear zones expressed by dilatation structures (tension gashes). The stretching lineation is defined by rods of quartz, axes of agregates of elliptical minerais and elongated micas. Dextral sense of shearing is determined from kinematic criteria. Microfabric investigation suggest that the deformation was accommodated mainly by crystal plasticity and the crystallographic shape fabrics confirm the dextral sense of shearing. Only the N55W shear zones underwent sinistral movement. The observed sets of structures is interpreted as linked to a N20E dextral strike-slip system and, in this case, the N10-20E, N45E, N25W and N55W zones correspond respectively to Y, R, P and R' zones. The Archean-Lower Proterozoic evolution is understood in terms of an oblique collision of continental segments which uplifted the granulitic rocks and was followed by transtension regime which originated several basins in where the supracrustal rocks of the Riachão do Ouro Group were deposited, and the granitoids of the Serra do Boqueirão Suite were emplaced. The progressive deformation involved transpression characterized by ductile shear zones. The Middle to Upper Proterozoic is represented by the Bambuí Group which includes slates, metasiltites, phyllites and carbonate rocks. The tectonic structures linked to the São Francisco Basin inversion in the Upper Proterozoic, are represented by N-S oblique thrusts and NE-SW lateral ramps. During the Mesozoic (Upper Cretaceous) the Alto Sanfranciscana Basin was filled by continental sediments of the Urucuia Formation. The lithostratigraphic sequence is composed of the following lithofacies: 1) conglomeratic facies which represents residual paviments of.deflation and in part interdune deposits and wadifans related to an intermittent drainage system; 2) sandstone facies formed by ortoquartzite, arkose and subarkose which constitute wind deposits; 3) and stratified chert facies which represent chemical lacustrine deposits. The basin architecture includes also NNW-SSE listric normal faults and NE-SW transfer faults related to a N5OE extensional axis. During the Tertiary coluvial and aluvial deposits, which underwent lateritization as an immature profile, were formed. The Quaternary is represented by a lacustrine-fluvial sedimentary system. The drainage system is related to the basin of the Manoel Alves and Araguaia rivers, strongly controlled by NE-SW lineaments and associated to pull-apart structures linked to a dextral system.

Geologia e petrogênese do “Greenstone Belt” identidade: implicações sobre a evolução geodinâmica do terreno granito - “Greenstone” de Rio Maria, SE do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1994-10-07) SOUZA, Zorano Sérgio de; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2158196443144675
This thesis deals to the geology and petrogenesis of the Identidade greenstone belt, located between Xinguara and Rio Maria towns, SE of Pará state. The data of this area permitted the discussion of the tectonic evolution of the gravite greenstone terrain of the Rio Maria region in the context of the Província Mineral de Carajás, SE of the Amazonian craton. The greenstone studied compose a synformal belt in the WNW-ESE direction, corresponding to one metavolcanic pile, formed predominantly by ultramafic schists (UM), basalts (BAS) and gabbros (GB) at the base, and hypabyssal dacitic rocks (DAC - ca. 2.94 Ga, Pb/Pb) at the top. The whole was intruded by metaplutonic rocks of Mesoarchean ages, the older one being quartz diorites, followed successively by granodiorites, trondhjemites / tonalites and leucogranites. The gneissic basement (GN - outcroping toward north and recognized for having an older fabric Sn-1/D1), the greenstone and the metagranitoids were intruded by hypabyssal rhyolitic (ca. 1.60 Ga, Rb/Sr) and basic dykes at the end of the Paleoproterozoic. The greenstone presents igneous structures and textures still recognized, although obliterated near the contacts with the metagranitoids and shear zones. The ultramafics occur as tremolitites, tremolite - talc schists and talc schists; the amphibole is very elongated and thin, commonly in parallel arrays, interpreted as ghosts of spinifex textures. The basalts are massive or pillowed and frequently variolitic. They show different degrees of recrystallization, with some relicts of hyalophitic, pilotaxitic and traquitoid textures. Clinoamphibole (actinolitic hornblende), epidotes and plagioclase (albite - andesine) are the most abundant minerais. The gabbros may be massives to porphyritics (plagioclase phenocrysts), still with some relicts of subophitic and granophyric textures. The dacites are porphyritic, with phenocrysts of quartz and plagioclase (oligoclase), besides hornblende and mafic clots (biotite, chlorite, opaque minerais, epidotes, sphene, apatite) in the less evolved samples. Concerning the metagranitoids, the leucogranites and trondhjemites have chloritized biotite, whereas the granodiorites and some tonalites comprise biotite or biotite + hornblende (also in quartz diorites). The greenstone and the metagranitoids were affected by one event of heterogeneous, ductile deformation, that evolved to mylonitic zones. The structural framework of the area is marked by a planar fabric (Sn//Sm/D2) in the WNW-ESE to E-W direction, with moderate to strong dips in a divergent fan. E-W, WNW-ESE or NW-SE stretching lineations, meso and asymmetric S-C microstructures, mica and clinoamphibole fishes, and rotation of o and i porphyroclasts indicated one megastructure resulting from a binary system with NW-SE shortening direction. The actual geometry of the greenstone would be derived from a dextral transpression, with the greenstone forming a positive flower structure. The transpressional regime favored the grow of transtensional cites and subsequent emplacement of granitic plutons on the NW contact, and extensional crenulation cleavage (Sn+1/D2) on the SW of the greenstone. Strain measurements displayed a ca. 60% shortening, subhorizontal extension of ca. 60 to 500% parallel to the greenstone trend, and vertical extension of ca. 101 to 280%. The strain ellipsoid may be oblate to prolate, with changes in density and rotation of the axis of maximum stretching (X) toward the mylonitic zones. The inversion of the deformation permitted the reconstruction of the original shape of the greenstone, that would be also elongated WNW-ESE, but with lesser eccentricity than today. These data, together with the quartz petrofabric, suggested that the deformation has been accommodated by pure and simple shear mechanisms, the final framework resulting essentially from the later. The last event (D3) are represented by faults and fractures which also affected the felsic and basic dykes. The paragenesis of the main metamorphic event (Mn/M2) is represented by static recrystallization, which modified some textures and almost ali minerais within the greenstone. The minerais formed phases were bluish green amphibole (actinolitic hornblende), epidotes, sphene and quartz in BAS and GB; tremolite, talc and chlorite in UM. The metagranitoids show transformations of plagioclase (saussurite, fine white mica), amphibole (to biotite and/or sphene) and biotite (to chlorite). The coexistence of hornblende + plagioclase (An>17) and/or actinolitic hornblende + chlorite in metabasic rocks shows that this event was of low pressures and temperatures in the transitional field of the greenschist and amphibolite facies. This episode should reflect a regional crustal heating produced by the plutonism at the end of the Mesoarchean, that obliterated the previous associations of ocean floor metamorphism. Slightly coeval to subsequently, it occurred one event of extensive dynamic recrystallization (Mm/M2) in the greenschist facies, specially within shear zones and lithological contacts. In these places, there are evidences of fluid incoming (schistose blastomylonites and abundant quartz veins) and remobilization of chemical elements (Al, Fe, Ca, K, Na, Rb, Sr, Zr). Finally, under lower PT conditions, it occurred a less expressive event related to crenulation cleavages and forming chlorite, epidotes and quartz (Mn+1/M2). The M2 event, as well as the one detected only in GN (M1 under amphibolite facies), was of ductile nature and cleary distinguished from the last one (D3/M3). The later was placed at the end of the Paleoproterozoic, being of hydrothermal character and associated to high crustal structures. The progressive evolution of the M2 metamorphism with its thermal peak predating the deformation suggested a counterclockwise P-T-t path, corresponding to the metamorphic evolution of Phanerozoic marginal basins. Some chemical analysis of the metavolcanic rocks permitted the definition of magmatic series and a discussion of petrogenetical modeling. It was possible to recognize three geochemical series, that is, from the older to the younger, komatiitic (UM), tholeiitic (BAS and GB) and calc-alkaline (DAC). The first one corresponds to peridotitic komatiites with MgO>18 weight % (volatile-free basis), with an enrichment trend in Al, such as in Geluk and Munro, and less calcic than the Barberton one. The light rare earth element patterns are irregular with (La/Sm)N ratios between 0.42 and 4.2 and negative Eu anomalies. The heavy rare earth elements seem less affected by post-eruptive processes, being plate or slightly fractionated (1.0<(Gd/Yb)N<2.3). The quantitative models were of hard execution due to the remobilization of several elements. It was possible estimate cumulates rich in olivine and orthopyroxene. With regarding to tholeiites, the BAS and GB showed very similar geochemical signatures, both being low potassium tholeiites comparable to depleted Archean tholeiites. The rare earth elements are almost plate, with values 10X the chondrite, and slight or no Eu anomaly. Preliminary modeling suggested similar cumulates for BAS and GB, composed essentially by clinopyroxene and plagioclase. The magma sources that originated the komatiites and tholeiites would be a garnet lherzolite. The DAC presented geochemical characteristics of modern and Archean metavolcanics and metaplutonics of trondhjemitic nature. The magmatic differentiation would be achieved by fractionation of plagioclase>quartz>hornblende>K-feldspar, with subordinated amount of biotite, magnetite, sphene, allanite and zircon. The source of the dacitic magma would be a tholeiite metamorphosed to the garnet amphibolite facies and somewhat enriched in light rare earth elements. The geodynamical model proposed admit the existence of a gneissic basement prior to 2.96 Ga. Between 2.96 and 2.90 Ga, the interplay of high geothermal gradients and lithospheric extension was responsible for extensive rifting, forming marginal basin systems, where extruded the komatiitic and tholeiitic rocks. At 2.94(?)-2.90 Ga, the DAC were generated from partia' melting of oceanic crust in subduction zone settings, and evolved by low pressure fractional crystallization. The same mechanisms that generated the DAC are extended also to the calc-alkaline plutonism, this one being responsible for the structural inversion of the greenstone, crustal thickening and final shape of the granite - greenstone terrain (dextral transpression ca. 2.88-2.86 Ga). The region still suffered a late episode (end of Eoarchean, 2.69-2.50 Ga) of (re)heating, registered only in sorne mineral, without any evidente of deformation and/or metamorphism. Finally, it occurred the intrusion of felsic (1.60 Ga, Rb/r) and basic dykes at the end of the Paleoproterozoic. The correlation with the actual understanding of the Província Mineral de Carajás permitted envisage that the Rio Maria granite - greenstone terrain was then configured at the moment of implantation of the Itacaiúnas Supergroup (ca. 2.76 Ga) and alkaline granitic plutonism at the Serra dos Carajás. So the sinistrai transpression that inverted that supergroup would correspond to a newer event, very distinct as regards as the dextral transpression of the Rio Maria region.

The Porto Nacional region, located at central-southern portion of the Tocantins State, is part of Structural Tocantins Province. That region forms a crustal segment mainly composed by granulitic and gneissic terraines, with a wide variety of lithotypes due to the effects of successive magmatic, sedimentary, tectonic and metamorphic processes during the Precambrian Eon. In the oldest units, from the Lower Proterozoic, have been recognized orthoderived rocks, as tholeiitic basalts type TH-1, calc-alkaline basalts and tonalites as well as paraderived rocks as graywackes, pelites, graphitic and silicic-iron-manganesiferous, submited to high grade metamorphism (Porto Nacional Complex, Morro do Aquiles Formation). Another set of rocks includes tonalites associated with minor granodiorites and granites, occurring along with a supracrustal sequence made up of calc-silicate gnaisses, pelites, psamites and gondites, metamorphosed in the amphibolite facies (Rio dos Mangues Complex). Meta-igneous bodies of anorthositic (Carreira Comprida Anorthosite), nepheline-sienitic (Estrela Suite) and K-rich granitic rock compositions (Matança and Serrote Suite), metamorphosed in the amphibolite facies, constitutes batholites and stocks enclosed by the former units. They represent magmatic events of different origins and ages. Other units from the end of Lower Proterozoic are represented by the Monte do Carmo Formation, composed by conglomerates, arkoses, graywackes and acid to intermediary volcanic rocks, and the Lajeado Suite, which encloses a set of granites. These unites represent intra-continental volcanic and plutonic magmatic processes related to extensional tectonic environment. The Upper Proterozoic and the Phanerozoic are represented, respectivelly, by psamo-pelites low grade metassediments (Natividade Group) and by sedimentary rocks of the Parnaiba Basin (Serra Grande and Pimenteiras Formations). The tectono-structural framework is here designed by the Tocantins Shear Belt, which trends NE-SW between the Amazônico and Paramiririm Archean cratons. This belt defines a regional imbricated system wide about 300 km, where mixed segments of different crustal level. The evolution of the belt is related to the oblique colision of Porangatu and Araguacema crustal blocks during the Lower Proterozoic, and to late transcurrent shears. The metamorphic studies developed in the Tocantins Shear Belt allowed characterize rocks of high grade metamorphism (Domine 1), with maximum temperature of 850°C and pressure of 8 kbar, which indicate that the rocks reached the granulite facies in a depth of about 30-35 km. The second terrain (Domine 2) includes rocks of high amphibolite facies with temperatures of 680°C and pressures of 6-5 kbar, indicating depths of about 20 km. The Domine 3 includes a migmatized gnaissic terrain, that underwent a middle to high amphibolite facies metamorphism, above the hornblende isograde and the curve of granite melt in high H2O activity. The petrogenetic records suggest a anticlockwise P-T-t path for the high grade metamorphism. This path is initially progressive with an increase of temperature, and crosses muscovite, biotite, andaluzite, garnet and sillimanite isogrades in the aluminous sequences, and hornblende, clivo and orthopyroxene in mafic compositions. The metamorphic path cross cuts the curve of granite melt in low H2O activity and generates S-type granites, and charnockites. The thermal peak is reached near 880°C and is followed by a significative increasing in pressure, with the stabilization of kyanite and garnet. Later, there was stablished retrograde pattern whose records suggest an overprinting in amphibolite and greenschist facies conditions at temperatures lower than 600°C and pressures about 5 kbar. The geochronologic data obtained by whole-rock Rb-Sr and single zircon Pb evaporation analysis suggests a minimum ages 2,1 - 2,2 Ga for the high grade metamorphism, indicating effects of the Transamazonian thermo-tectonic event. The petrogenetic interpretations based on lithochemical and tectonic data, suggest that the evolution of the high grade rocks may be related to the rupture of the pre-existent Archean crust. In this crust affected by extensional tectonism, and strongly controled by magmatic underplating, restricted oceans were installed. The crustal evolution was followed by A subduction, delamination and crustal-stacking wedge, which end up with the transportation of infracrustal segments to upper leveis of the crust.
