Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Argila de Belterra das coberturas de bauxitas da Amazônia como matéria-prima para a produção de cerâmica vermelha(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-01-10) BARRETO, Igor Alexandre Rocha; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302The Amazon region holds the largest reserves of bauxite in Brazil, whose deposits are covered by a thick bundle of clay material, known as Belterra Clay (ABT). The wide distribution, superficial occurrence, therefore accessible, and clayey ABT nature have aroused the interest of this work in evaluating its technical viability for the production of red ceramics. For the present study, ABT was selected from the large bauxite deposits of Rondon do Pará, samples of the yellow soils from Mosqueiro, illitic clay and gibbsitic clays and one sample of the clayey siltstone. This clay and other materials used as additives were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence (FRX) (CT), Spectrometric Thermal Analysis (TG), Differential Scanning Calorimete (DSC), Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Laser Particle (APL). To determine the physical and mechanical properties, were produce specimens through different mixtures with the samples of Belterra clay and percentages (20, 30 and 40%) of the yellow soil, clayey siltstone, gibbsitic clays and illitic clay. The specimens were calcined at three different temperature moments (900, 1000 and 1200 ° C). Then, linear retraction, water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent density and bending rupture tension were measured. ABT is essentially kaolinite, having quartz, goethite, anatase and gibbsite as accessory minerals. The pure and simple ABT did not present favorable technological aspects for the production of ceramic products, however the same with addition of the yellow soil and clayey silt from the same region significantly improved the technological characteristics of the ABT.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Contribuição à petrologia do granito central da serra dos Carajás(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1980-09-02) ALMEIDA, Regina Célia Cunha; RONCAL, Juan Rolando ZuletaThis study was carried out in the central region of the Serra dos Carajás in the South of the State of Pará. The area referred to is underlain by a granite batholith, surrounded by basic volcanic rocks in the north-east and slightly metamorphised sedimentary clastic rocks. In order to characterize the petrogenetic nature of the granitic body, a study was realized of the petrography and petrochemistry of the various facies of the granite and of the country rocks. Petrographic and geochemical evidence suggests a magmatic origin for the granite of Carajás. During its consolidation the granitic magma underwent a slight differentiation in the formation of various facies. The intrusive character of the body is e4denced by the presence of contact metamorphism of the hornblende hornfels in the country rocks in the proximity of the contacts. The observed mineralogical association (orthoclase and plagioclase) indicates that the granitic body may be included in the SUBSOLVUS group in the classification of the Tuttle and Bowen (1958). The magma was probably originated by partial melting of older crustal rocks.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Evolução magmático-hidrotermal do granito mocambo, Província Estanífera do Sul do Pará: um estudo morfológico e composicional de quartzo e cassiterita(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-10-02) BARROS NETO, Rubem Santa Brígida; LAMARÃO, Claudio Nery; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6973820663339281The present research deals with the morphological, compositional and textural aspects of quartz and cassiterite crystals of the Mocambo Granite (MG) and of associated greisens bodies, belonging to the Velho Guilherme Intrusive Suite, Carajás Province, and its relation with the tin mineralization. The study was performed with the aid of scanning electron microscope (SEM), using catodoluminescence (CL) images, semiquantitative analyzes by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and by electronic microprobe (EM) analyzes. Different facies and greisenized rocks of the MG were studied and it was possible to identify five types of quartz, called Qz1, Qz2, Qz3, Qz4 and Qz5. The Qz1, considered the most earlier type and of magmatic origin, can be found in all facies, being less frequent in the greisens. It appears as anhedral phenocrysts to luminescent sub-rounded (light gray), with varying degree of fracturing, as well as fine-to medium-grained crystals dispersed in the groundmass. Luminescent nuclei with alternating or reasorbed alternating light-dark zonations are common. Qz2 is posterior to Qz1 and not luminescent (dark gray); is present in all facies, but is rare in the greisen. It usually occurs as irregular discontinuous stains or filling fractures and shafts that section the Qz1, suggesting a process of intense replacement. The Qz3 does not show luminescence. It occurs in almost all facies filling a fracture that cuts Qz1 and Qz2. The Qz4 is present in the most evolved and intensely altered rocks, in the greisen and in veins or interstitial cavities, usully associated with cassiterite crystals. It is represented by euhedral, medium-greined, slightly fractured crystals, with well-defined light-dark zoning and variable thickness. Qz5 occurs sectioning and forming irregular spots on Qz4, being associated generally with wolframite or wolframite + cassiterite in quartz veins. They are slightly fractured, luminescent, meduium-to-coarse greined anhedral crystals. Qz1 and Qz2 from porphyritic syenogranite to monzogranite facies show high Ti concentration (9.5 - 104 ppm) and low Al (10 - 149 ppm). Qz1, Qz2 and Qz3 crystals from the aplitic alkali-feldspar granite facies presented slightly lower Ti contents (5 - 87 ppm) in comparison to SGMP quartz values and Al values that reach 2065 ppm. In the Qz1, Qz2 and Qz3 of the greisenized rocks, the Ti presented lower contents (0.0 and 62 ppm) and variable Al content (0 - 167 ppm). In the Qz4 crystals of the mineralized greisenized rocks in cassiterite, the Ti did not exceed 20 ppm, while Al presented strong enrichment, exceeding 3000 ppm. In the mineralized quartz veins in wolframite or wolframite + cassiterite, consisting mainly of Qz5, the Ti and Al concentrations presented generally low values, with maximum contents of 7 and 77 ppm, respectively. The cassiterite is occur as anhedral to subhedral fine-to coarse-grained crystals, anhedral to subhedral, associated to chlorite, muscovite, fengite and siderophyllite in gresenizeds rocks or commonly included in wolframite crystals in quatz veins. Shows light brown to reddish color and high colors of interference. More developed crystals show concentric zoning. Analyzes carried throug ME showed that in addition to Sn, cassiterites have lower concentrations of Fe, Ti, W, Nb and Mn traces. The concentrations of Fe, Nb, Ti and W are higher in the darker spots, while Sn shows higher purity in the lighter parts of the crystals. Cassiterites associated with Qz5 (hydrothermal) are often included in wolframite crystals or are partially substituted by it. This study showed that quartz was an excellent marker of the magmatic evolution and late alteration resulting from hydrothermal processes that operated in the Mocambo granite. It was possible to distinguish one magmatic and four hydrothermal types of quartz. The CL images indicate that the tin mineralization is present in the most evolved rocks and hydrothermally altered as in greisenized rocks and quartz veins, where the cassiterite is associated with Qz4 or Qz5 + wolframite. Qz5 suggests a possible mineralizing hydrothermal event of wolframite, subsequent to the origin of the cassiterite associated with Qz4.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Geocronologia U-Pb, classificação e aspectos evolutivos do Granito Marajoara – Província Carajás(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-01-24) SANTOS, Rodrigo Fabiano Silva; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506The Marajoara granite (MjGr) is a stock intrusive in mesoarchean granitoids of the Rio Maria domain, which is formed mainly by leucocratic rocks, represented by equigranular (BMzE) and heterogranular (BMzH) monzogranite facies. Rapakivi texture and occurrences of porphyritic granite (EGp) and microgranular enclaves (EMg) are restricted to BMzH facies. Such varieties have similar mineralogy: microcline, quartz and plagioclase occur as essential minerals; biotite partially altered to chlorite as the only varietal phase; zircon, titanite, opaque, apatite and allanite as primary accessories; and chlorite, sericite-muscovite, epidote, fluorite and clay minerals as secondary phases. The high magnetic susceptibility (SM) values (2.3-6.5 x10-3) and the frequent presence of magnetite show that the BMzH facies is akin to granites with magnetite series, whereas the BMzE variety shows affinity with the ilmenite series considering the modal opaque contents ≤0.5%, low values of SM (<0.15x10-3), and ilmenite as the sole Fe-Ti oxide. These rocks are, in general, peraluminous and have high FeOt/FeOt+MgO ratio, similar to the ferroan granites. In addition, they have geochemical affinities with intraplate A-type granites, which have crustal origin, wherein a significant variation of FeOt/(FeOt + MgO) found for these rocks [EGp (> 0.82); BMzH (> 0.86); BMzE (> 0.97)], allow them to be classified as oxidized (BMzH and EGp) and reduced (BMzE) Atype granites, that are related to the Jamon and Velho Guilherme suites, respectively. Differently from this, the EMg show clear affinity with the magnesian granites and the calcalkaline series. Evidence of magma mixing and geochemical modeling calculations demonstrate that EGp originate from the interaction of EMg (60%) and BMzH (40%) liquids. The compositional gaps existing among the several varieties that constitute the MjGr, as well as their compositional contrasts, suggest that their magmas are not cogenetic. The EMg represents a basic magmatism from the enriched lithospheric mantle that would have been injected into the magma chamber during the underplating process and at different phases of the granitic magma crystallization. The U-Pb zircon isotopic analyzes (SHRIMP) yielded an age of 1885 ±6Ma, interpreted as the crystallization age of MjGr. The MjGr was emplaced at shallow crustal levels (epizone) in an extensional tectonic environment with the effort following the trend NNE-SSW to ENE-WSW. The concentric zoning in the MjGr and the rheological behavior of its country rocks as well as the reduced or no influence of the regional efforts during the emplacement of the pluton indicate that the transport of the magma occurred through dikes. It is suggested that the construction of the MjGr was a result of the vertical rise of magmas through fractures and accommodation along the planes of the regional EW foliation, followed by a change of the vertical flow by a lateral scattering of the magma, analogous to the admitted model for the emplacement of the tabular batholiths of the Jamon Suite.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Geologia, geoquímica e mineralogia dos corpos anfibolíticos de Água Azul do Norte: condições metamórficas e implicações tectônicas para o Domínio Sapucaia - Província Carajás(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-11-09) SOUZA, Diwhemerson Barbosa de; MONTEIRO, Lena Vírginia Soares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6455990478032543; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506The metamafics bodies identified in the Água Azul do Norte area, located in the south-central portion of the Carajás domain, crosscut the TTG basement and include two distinct varieties: (i) actinolite amphibolite, an extensive elongated body (~17 km long) with N-S orientation and inflection to NE, composed essentially of plagioclase and amphibole, with relicts of igneous pyroxene crystals and plagioclase, defining a subophitic texture; and (ii) diopside amphibolite, with occurrence restricted to the extreme east portion of the area, outcropping as small lenticular anastomosed bodies of NW-SE orientation. The latter shows nematoblastic and porphyroblastic textures, mylonitic foliation, and S-C pairs. The mineral paragenesis recognized in this variety include: Plg+Amph+Di+Ilm, which represent the metamorphic peak, while Plg+Amph+Ep+Clz+Tit+Ap+Qtz+Ser were generated during the retrometa-morphism. The plagioclase from the actinolite amphibolite has a broad compositional spectrum, ranging from calcic oligoclase to calcic labradorite (An28-65) with calcic compostions representing igneous inheritances. The plagioclase from the diopside amphibolite has more homogeneous composition and was classified as sodic andesine (An31-35). The amphibole from the actinolite amphibolite shows compositional zoning with Mg/Fe ratio slightly higher than those of the diopside amphibolite, and can be classified as Mg-hornblende, tschermakite, actinolite and edenite. In addition, the amphibole of the diopside amphibolite has AlVI of ~0.4 and Fe3+ of 0.7 to 0.8 contents, which allows its classification as Mg-hastingsite. Taking into account the chemical data, these bodies had a protolith with composition compatible with tholeiitic basalts, multielement standard of continental tholeiites (diopside amphibolite) and tholeiites low K (actinolite amphibolite), incompatible elements (HFSE) ratios suggest a source derived from primitive mantle, with significant changes in the magma composition due to interaction with the continental crust and/or subcontinental lithosphere. The chemical-mineralogical and textural evidences indicate that the protolith of actinolite amphibolite underwent deformation in the submagmatic stage and later a deformation in solid state at shallow depths. In contrast, the diopside amphibolite was submitted to ductile deformation regime in relatively higher depths. The metamorphic path of the actinolite amphibolite reveals isothermal decompression (metamorphic peak at 2.7 kbar and 430 °C; and retrometamorphic equilibrium at 1.2 kbar and 425 °C), associated with its exhumation and/or emplacement of leucogranite bodies, whereas the diopside amphibolite indicates amphibolite facies metamorphism in intermediate crustal level conditions (5 kbar; 540oC). These data indicate the exposure of relatively deep crustal levels in Água Azul do Norte (9-16 km).Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Geologia, geoquímica e petrologia magnética do magmatismo básico da área de Nova Canadá (PA), Província Carajás(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08-29) MARANGOANHA, Bhrenno; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506Through geologic mapping of the Nova Canadá area, was possible to individualize two mafic units, typified for diabase dikes, isotropic, and extensive bodies of amphibolites with nematoblastic and granoblastic textures, outcropping only in the southwestern part of the area. Both units cross-cut granitoids of Xingu Complex and Sapucaia greenstone belts sequence. They are classified as subalkaline tholeiitic basalts. Diabase dikes are divided into three varieties, namely hornblende-gabbronorite, gabbronorite and norite, being the differences between these ones only concerned the modal contents of amphibole, ortho- and clinopyroxene, once petrographically, they don’t show significant differences. They consist of plagioclase, ortho-/clinopyroxene, amphibole, Fe-Ti oxides and olivine; they show a moderate fractional pattern REE and unremarkable negative Eu anomaly. Tectonically, they are related to a continental intraplate environment, and show OIB and E-MORB-types signatures. On the other hand, the amphibolites show a flat REE pattern and an absence of Eu anomaly. They are classified as island arc tholeiites and show N-MORB-type signature. This lithotype includes plagioclase, amphibole, opaque minerals, titanite and biotite as main mineralogical phases. The mineral chemistry shows in the diabases no significant variation between plagioclase core and rim, being classified as labradorite, with rare andesine and bytownite; the amphibole shows a compositional gradation from Fe-hornblende to actinolite with increasing silica. In the amphibolites, the plagioclase shows a wide compositional variation, from oligoclase to bytownite in the foliated rocks; in the amphibolites less/no foliated, there is only sodic andesine. Pyroxene is only found in the diabase dikes and exhibits considerable variation compositional, showing a magnesium content increasing in the cores; the iron and calcium contents increase toward the rims; it is classified as augite, pigeonite (clinopyroxene) and enstatite (orthopyroxene). Diabase dikes have titanomagntite, magnetite and ilmenita as main Fe-Ti oxides. Textural analyses of these oxides allowed identifying five distinct forms of ilmenite in the diabase dikes: trellis ilmenite, sandwich ilmenite, patch ilmenite, individual ilmenite, internal and external composite ilmenite. Texture features suggest that titanomagnetite and individual and external composite ilmenite crystallized in early magmatic stage. During the subsolidus stage, titanomagnetite was transformed by oxidation-exsolution in intergrowths of almost pure magnetite and ilmenite (sandwich, patch, trellis and internal composite ilmenite). Amphibolites have ilmenite as the only Fe-Ti oxide mineral, that occurs as individual ilmenite, and it is always associated to amphibole and titanite. Norites and gabbronorites are characterized by the highest values of the magnetic susceptibility (MS); these varieties exhibit the highest modal opaque minerals content, having primary titanomagnetite as mineralogical phase. Hornblende-gabbronorites exhibit the moderate values of the MS, and amphibolites, the lowest ones. The negative correlation between MS values with modal ferromagnesian contents of the diabases shows that paramagnetic minerals (amphibole and pyroxene) don’t have significant influence in the magnetic behavior in these rocks. In contrast, the positive correlation between these variables, of the amphibolites, suggests these mineral phases are the main responsible for its values of the MS. Geothermobarometric data obtained from titanomagnetite-ilmenite pair in the diabase dikes show temperature and oxygen fugacity conditions (1112°C and -8,85, respectively) close to NNO buffer.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Geologia, petrografia e geoquímica das associações leucograníticas e TTG arqueanos da área de Nova Canadá (PA) Domínio Carajás(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-02-25) SANTOS, Pablo José Leite dos; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506The geological mapping carried out in the Nova Canada and Velha Canada villages, south portion of the Carajas Domain, ally to the petrographic and geochemical data allowed to the characterization of new geological units before inserted in the Xingu Complex geological context. In abundance order they are: (i) Nova Canada Leucogranodiorite composed predominantly by leucogranodiorite rocks that are more enriched in Al2O3, CaO, Na2O, Ba, Sr and in the Sr/Y ratio. They show strong geochemical affinities with Guarantã Suites from the Rio Maria Domain, which are also correlated to Transitional TTGs from Yilgarn Craton. Their REE pattern is slightly fractionated with low (La/Yb)N ratios with Eu negative anomalies absent or discrete; (ii) Velha Canadá Leucogranite comprised essentially by leucogranitic rocks that show higher contents of SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, K2O, Rb, HFSE (Zr, Y e Nb), and K2O/Na2O, FeOt/(FeOt+MgO), Ba/Sr e Rb/Sr ratios. The Velha Canada area rocks are characterized by two distinct patterns REE of: (a) moderate to low (La/Yb)N ratios with accentuated Eu negative anomalies, and (b) high to moderate (La/Yb)N ratios with discrete Eu negative anomalies. A concave HREE pattern is observed. In several aspects, the Velha Canada granite show similarities with K-Leucogranites like Xinguara and Mata Surrão granites from Rio Maria Domain, and more discretely with low-Ca granites from Yilgarn Craton. To origin of Nova Canadá Leucogranodiorite rocks is admitted fractional crystallization by sanukitoid liquids, following by mixing with trondhjemitic magmas, while for those high-K rocks is assumed partial melting of metatonalites rocks related to TTG Suites on different crustal levels, for give rise to these liquids; and (iii) Trondhjemitic associations with high-Al and low-K calc-alkaline TTG series affinities. Two varieties were distinguished: (a) biotite-trondhjemite with deformational features like compositional banding, folds and evidence of migmatization, suggesting the presence at least two compressional events during the sin- and post magmamtic stages; and (b) (muscovite) biotite-trondhjemite that differs from the previous one by the presence of muscovite, plagioclase saussuritization, medium evengrained texture and discrete deformation features with development of a low-angle foliation with E-W direction. The restrict occurrence of the first one, ally with intense deformation and eventual anatexie processes that affected these rocks, can indicate a crustal rework linked to generation of the leucogranites described in the Nova Canadá area. The trondhjemites of the southern part of area are more enriched in Fe2O3, MgO, TiO2, CaO, Zr, Rb, an in the Rb/Sr ratio in relation to those of the northern part. The arrangement of trends defined by the set of analyzed samples, suggests that theses varieties are not cogenitc or comagmatic. These rocks also show fractionated REE patterns, with variations in contents of the heavy REE and Strong light REE enrichment, besides the absence of the Eu and Sr anomalies, and low contents of Yb and Y. Such aspects are tipically attributed to magmas generated from partial melting of a mafic source at different depths, with increasing of the garnet influence in the residue, as well as the lack of plagioclase in both residual and fractionating phases. Geochemical affinities between the rocks studied with those of the mesoarchean Rio Maria domain, suggest the extension of Rio Maria Domain to north until the Nova Canadá area, while that the leuocogranodiorites of the Velha Canadá area, that are younger and generated in the neoarchean, discard the hypothesis to associate the generation of these rocks to the same tectonic-magmatic events that acted in Rio Maria.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Geologia, petrografia e geoquímica das associações TTGs e Leucogranodioritos do extremo norte do Domínio Rio Maria, Província Carajás(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-06-18) SILVA, Chrystophe Ronaib Peixoto da; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506The geological mapping carried out in the southeastern portion of Água Azul do Norte / PA, northern part of the Rio Maria domain, ally to the petrographic and geochemical data allowed the individualization of TTGs associations and leucogranodiorites. In this region, mapping was performed only on regional scale which allowed the extrapolation of the area of occurrence of rocks similar to Caracol Tonalite and Mogno Trondhjemite. The TTGs studied were individual in two units based on the contents of mafic minerals, concentration of magmatic epidote and degree of saussuritization of the plagioclase in: (1) Epidote-Biotite Tonalite and, (2) Biotite-Trondhjemite. In general, rocks which have a foliation defined by compositional banding which locally can be disturbed by folds and shear bands. Their geochemical characteristics are consistent with Archean TTG group of high Al2O3 and are still relatively poor in ferromagnesian elements, with HREE pattern moderaly to strongly fractionated and Eu discrete anomalies. The differences in the ratios La/Yb and Eu anomalies, allowed todiscrimination three distinct groups of rocks: The TTGs belonging to the group of high La/Yb, Sr/Y are similar to rocks Mogno Trondhjemite described in Rio Maria Domain. These rocks include the most samples of the unit Biotite Trondhjemite. In the case of TTGs with medium to low La/Yb, Sr/Y compared with the rocks of the Rio Maria area are strongly correlated with the Tonalite Caracol. These groups are composed mainly by unit Epidote- Biotite Tonalite, including also isolated samples the Biotite Trondhjemite. On the basis of geological, petrographic and geochemical data leucogranodiorites of the study area were divided into two groups: Biotite Granodiorite and Leucogranodiorite. The rocks of the Biotite Granodiorite have wide spatial occurrence in the western portion of the area. Field relationships show that these rocks are intrusive in granitoids TTGs. The available geochemical indicate that the Biotite Granodiorite have as well fractionated REE patterns, with high ratio La/Yb (33-186) and Eu anomalies quite pronounced, being strongly positive (1,11 < Eu/Eu* < 3,26). Whereas leucogranodioritos show slightly fractionated patterns, with moderate ratios La/Yb (24.7 to 34.7) and Eu anomalie absent (Eu / Eu * = 1.03). The Harker diagrams for major and trace elements do not favor a genetic link by fractional crystallization processes between the Biotite Granodiorite and TTG associations, considering present distinct evolution trends, thus indicating that the conditions of their genesis and differentiation were quite different, either by partial melting of a TTG source by the fact of the leucogranites not to present significant negative Eu anomaly, as well as for to show similar patterns of REE fractionation in relation to TTG suites, attesting that these rocks were probably not derived from precursor magmas of the TTG suites.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Geologia, petrografia e geoquímica dos granitóides arqueanos de Sapucaia - Província Carajás-PA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013) TEIXEIRA, Mayara Fraeda Barbosa; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2158196443144675Geological mapping performed in the eastern portion of the Transition Subdomain, Carajás Province, southern of Canaã dos Carajás and the northern of Sapucaia cities, allowed the identification, individualization and characterization of a variety of Archean rocks, previously encompassed in the Xingu Complex. The oldest unit identified in this area is a hornblende tonalite, correlated to São Carlos Tonalite (~2.93 Ga), which is exposed as blocks or outcrop and commonly present foliation (NW-SE to E-W) or homogeneous aspect. Its geochemical signatures differ from the typical Archean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) associations due to show enrichment in TiO2, MgO and CaO, low contents of Sr, and Rb contents similar to samples with lower concentrations of silica, which are reflected in higher Rb/Sr ratios and lower Sr/Ba ratios. The REE patterns reveal low to moderate fractionation of HREE compared to LREE, and discrete or moderate negative Eu anomalies. It is stratigraphycally followed by TTG association correlated to Colorado Trondhjemite (~2.87 Ga) which displays gray color, medium-grained, and commonly a NW-SE to E-W foliation. In the southern of area, outcrops a body of 40 km 2, which comprises a small mountain of porphyritic leucogranodioritic rocks named Pantanal Leucogranodiorite . It is emplaced at TTG association and crosscutted, on its western portion, by deformed leucogranites. The Pantanal Leucogranodiorite shows peraluminous character and calc-alkaline affinity, with high contents of Ba and Sr. The REE patterns show nosignificant Eu anomalies and HREE are strongly fractionated, which is geochemically similar to Guarantã Suite (~2.87 Ga) from the Rio Maria Domain. Its origin may be related to low degrees of melting of TTG, probably accompanied by interaction with fluids enriched in K, Ba and Sr, derived from a metasomatized mantle. The leucogranites exhibit A-type geochemical signature and reduced character, and may have originated from the melt of dehydrated peraluminous calcic-alkaline rocks, during the Neoarchean. In the eastern portion of the Pantanal Leucogranodiorite was also identified ahornblende-biotite monzogranite which is geochemically similar to oxidized A-type granites, correlated to Neoarchean Vila Jussara Suite. Also, it correlated to Neoarchean subalkaline magmatism in the northern area, occur two granitic stocks. They comprise (i) tonalite to granodiorite with geochemical signature similar to oxidized A-type granites and show affinity with Vila Jussara Suite; and (ii) monzogranites which show reduced A-type granites signature and could be compared to Planalto Suite. At northern of the study area was identified an association of mafic-enderbitic rocks which comprises intensely deformed and recrystallized hornblende norite, pyroxene-hornblende gabbros, pyroxeneix hornblende monzonite, hornblende gabbros, amphibolites and enderbites, which are represented in the geological map as a WNW-ESE small elongated body , and a semicircular body controlled by shear zones. The textures observed in these rocks indicate that recrystallization occurs under relatively high temperatures, 6000C or above, and those rocks show metamorphic features. The geochemical behavior of these rocks suggests that the hornblende-norite, hornblende-gabbros and amphibolites are tholeiitic subalkalines, whereas enderbites, pyroxene-hornblende gabbro and pyroxene-hornblende monzonite exhibit calcalkaline signature. The low La/Yb ratios for mafic rocks indicate low degree of fractionation, whereas the high La/Yb ratios for enderbites reveal significant fractionation of HREE during formation and differentiation of its magmas, and the concavity of HREE pattern indicates probably influence of amphibole fractionation during its evolution. In the central and northcentral of area was recognized biotite-monzogranites with peraluminous and calc-alkaline signature and distinct REE patterns, which allowed us to distinguish two groups. The first shows higher REE enrichment, weak enrichment in LREE relative to HREE, and exhibit moderate negative Eu anomalies, indicating no significant fractionation of phases enriched in HREE and show possibly affinity with Bom Jesus Granite from Canaã dos Carajás area. The second group shows a sharp fractionation of HREE relative to LREE, with discrete or absent Eu anomalies, and concave HREE patterns indicating that amphibole was important phase during the fractionation of these rocks, like Serra Dourada and Cruzadão granites, also located in the Canaã dos Carajás area. This comparison should be enhanced as soon as further geochemical and geochronological data are available in order to a correlation can be evaluated.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Granodiorito Rio Maria e rochas associadas de Ourilândia do Norte – Província Carajás: geologia e afinidades petrológicas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-07-22) SANTOS, Maria Nattania Sampaio dos; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506The granitoids of sanukitoid affinity of the Ourilândia do Norte area, located near the Rio Maria-Carajás domain boundary, are associated with Rio Maria sanukitoid suite from the Mesoarchean age. In this area dioritic, quartz-monzodioritic, tonalitic and granodioritic rocks with variable proportions of amphibole and biotite were described. Contrary to what is observed in the sanukitoid rocks of the Rio Maria area, those of Ourilândia do Norte are constantly affected by deformational processes, relating to the installation of the Itacaiúnas Shear Zones. They exhibit pervasive foliation and microstructures developed under three dynamic recrystallization regimes: (1) Bulging recrystallization (300-400°C); (2) Subgrain rotation recrystallization (<500°C); (3) Grain boundary migration recrystallization (<600°C). Granitoids with sanukitoid affinities are magnesian and metaluminous and belong to medium to high potassium calc-alkaline series. They display non-collinear trends from (quartz) diorite toward granodiorite and exhibit a negative correlation for compatible elements (CaO, Fe2O3 t, MgO, TiO2, Zr, Ni, Cr and #Mg) and inverse behavior for incompatible ones (Ba, Sr), as well as Rb/Sr and Sr/Ba ratios. Moreover, they show amphibole, clinopyroxene and subordinate biotite and plagioclase fractionation. The clinopyroxene-bearing monzogranite shows trends parallel to those of sanukitoids and has a lower Sr/Ba ratio and #Mg content, due to its ferrous character, and probably does not belong to the sanukitoid series. The REE pattern of granodiorite shows a slight or absent Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*=0.76-0.97) and moderate (La/Yb)N ratio, indicating garnet, amphibole or pyroxene fractionation. Tonalites are less depleted in HREE and have little Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*=~0.95). Enclaves, (quartz) diorite and quartzmonzodiorite exhibit negative to positive Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu*=0.56-1.71) and a low (La/Yb)N ratio, whose horizontal pattern is similar to that of intermediate rocks from the Rio Maria area. Clinopyroxene-bearing monzogranite shows affinities for the tholeiitic series, following slightly different trends from granitoids, with a negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*= 0.63-0.98) and (La/Yb)N slightly fractionated ratios. Negative Nb-Ta-Ti anomalies, associated with high (La/Yb)N and Y/Nb ratios suggest that these rocks were generated in a subduction zone from a depleted source mantle which was contaminated by fluids or melt. Analysis of the metassomatic agent nature revealed that less evolved rocks were contaminated by fluids, while granodiorites and related rocks were contaminated by melt, whose composition is similar to that of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG). Enclaves, (quartz) diorite and clinopyroxene-bearing monzogranite were produced by relatively low pressures (La/Yb<1.0 GPa) and depths (<33.6 Km), with little or no residual garnet, while the other granitoids could ix have been generated under superior geothermal conditions (La/Yb=1.0-1.5 GPa; 33.6-50.5 Km) with variable proportions of residual garnet. Furthermore, these granitoids started to crystallize at depths between 30.3 and 20.2 Km and ended between 10.1 and 6.7 Km. Ourilândia do Norte sanukitoid rocks and the other analoguous intrusions of the Carajás Province show geochemical and petrogenetic affinities with high-SiO2 adakites and low-TiO2 sanukitoids. They may have originated through a one-stage process, by direct hybridization between the mantle and TTG-melt. Nevertheless, the modeling performed on Rio Maria and Karelian sanukitoids indicates that they were produced by a two-stage process, from meltmetasomatized peridotite remelting.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Mineralogia e petrologia do complexo ultramáfico e alcalino de Santa Fé - GO(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1978) SOUSA, Ana Maria Soares de; GIRARDI, Vicente Antonio Vitório; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6876269679513816Item Desconhecido Mineralogia, geoquímica e minerais pesados do perfil laterito-bauxítico com cobertura e sua relação com o grupo Itapecuru: lavra piloto ciríaco (Rondon do Pará)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-07-11) PANTOJA, Heliana Mendes; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302The lateritic-bauxite profile studied in Rondon do Pará is part of the Paragominas Bauxite Province, the most important of the Brazil that hosts world-class deposits of considerable economic value. The deposit comprises six horizons: bauxitic clay at the bottom, massive bauxite, massive iron-aluminous crust, iron-aluminous crust dismantled, ferruginous spheroliths and a clay cover equivalent to the "argilas de Belterra" at the top. The sedimentary rocks of the Itapecuru Group are the probable source of the lateritic-bauxite profile and include weathered siltstone and claystone. The mineralogical composition of the three studied units (Itapecuru Group rocks, lateritic-bauxite profile and clay cover) is similar and consist to kaolinite, quartz, hematite, goethite and gibbsite, accessory minerals include anatase and heavy minerals (zircon, tourmaline, rutile, staurolite and opaque). The units differ mainly in this content variation and the absence of gibbsite and goethite in the rocks of Itapecuru Group. The chemical composition of the three units shows that Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2 and LOI are the most abundant constituents, related to the major minerals. Trace elements content in the three units are heterogeneous with V, Cr, Ga, Zr, Hf and Th showing concentrations above the crustal average, these elements display good correlation with iron oxy-hydroxides. When normalized to chondrites, the three units differ by positive Ce anomaly in the Itapecuru Group rocks, but are similar in negative Eu anomaly, the depletion of LREE and enrichment of HREE. The data obtained show clear affinities between the three units, suggesting that the sediments of the Itapecuru Group are similar to those of the bedrock of lateritic-bauxite profile while their respective cover demonstrates strong relationship with the crusts and spheroliths. The structure of the lateritic-bauxite profile together with mineralogical and chemical data allow to correlate the Rondon do Pará lateritic-bauxite profile with the deposits of Paragominas and Juruti.Item Desconhecido Morfologia e assinatura geoquímica de zircão da suíte sanukitoide Rio Maria, Província Carajás: implicações petrológicas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-11-29) COSTA, Hévila de Nazare Silva da; LAMARÃO, Claudio Nery; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6973820663339281This research involved the morphological and compositional study of zircons from granodioritic rocks of Sanukitoide Rio Maria suite, Carajás Province. For this study were chosen five regions inserted in this Province, namely: Rio Maria and Bannach, type areas of the Rio Maria Sanukitoide rocks; Ourilândia do Norte, containing correlated granodioritic rocks to sanukitoids Rio Maria; São Felix do Xingu, where there are still poorly studied granodiorite rocks similar to sanukitoides, besides Trairão Granodiorite, situated in the Pau D'Arco region, belonging to the Guarantã suite and geochemically distinct from sanukitoide rocks. Zircon crystals were studied with the aid of secondary electron images (ES), cathodoluminescence (CL), semiquantitative analysis by spectroscopic energy dispersive (EDS) using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), aiming to define morphological features and characteristics geochemical signatures for zircons from each group of rock, compare the typological aspects between them and reaffirm the importance of zircon in petrological studies and SEM-CL-EDS methodology as a support tool for these purposes. The morphological study was conducted in zircons from two groups of rock. In the first one, made up of zircons from Rio Maria Sanukitoide Suite, were selected one hundred ten zircons and in the second one, represented by zircons of Trairão Granodiorite, twenty nine crystals. Zircons from the first group have euhedral shapes, subordinately subhedral, well defined standard zoning, well-developed and preserved cores, thin luminescent edges, suggesting compositional change at the end of crystallization, and rare to moderate presence of F-apatite inclusions. The zircons of Trairão Granodiorite showed euhedral the subhedral forms and well defined oscillatory zoning. The presence of F-apatite inclusions is recurring in this sample, both at the cores or at the edges of the crystals, truncating or taking place in parallel with the growth zones, suggesting simultaneous crystallization of both minerals. For the typological study were selected two groups of zircons. The first, made up of zircons of the Rio Maria sanukitoides, falls mostly within S18 type, with rare occurrences in P4 type. The second, represented by zircons of the Guarantã Granodiorite, correlates with S3 and S8 types. Semiquantitative ESD analysis performed in zircons from the five studied regions were compared and interpreted in specific geochemical diagrams. Zircons of Rio Maria and Ourilândia do Norte sanukitoides showed the lowest Nb contents (1.0-1.8%), followed by the zircons of Bannach and Xingu regions (1.8-2.5%) and Trairão Granodiorite (dominantly between 2.2 to 3.3%). Zircons from Rio Maria and Ourilândia do Norte sanukitoides showed higher Zr/Nb ratios, between 30 and 50, and zircons from Trairão Granodiorite the lower ratios, predominantly between 17 and 23. Zircons from Bannach and Xingu sanukitoides presented intermediate Zr/Nb ratios, between 23 and 32. The Sr versus Zr/Nb diagram shows a well defined negative trend, with zircons of Trairão Granodiorite more enriched in Sr (1.5 to 2.4%) and zircons from the Rio Maria and Ourilândia of Norte sanukitoides most depleted (0.6 to 1.6%), with partial overlap between them. Zircons from Bannach and Xingu sanukitoides showed intermediate Sr content (1.2 to 1.7%) and Zr/Nb (23 and 32) and plotted between the previous in the diagram. The study showed morphological, typological and compositional differences between the zircons of sanukitoides rocks of southeastern Para, and between these and the zircons of the Trairão Granodiorite. According to Pupin (1980) scheme, these differences allowed to frame the zircons of the sanukitoid rocks and the Trairão Granodiorite into two distinct groups, suggesting its crystallization occurred in different environments and temperatures.Item Desconhecido Morfologia e composição de zircão de rochas ígneas do Terreno Granito-Greenstone de Rio Maria, Cráton Amazônico, através de microscopia eletrônica de varreduracatodoluminescência (MEV-CL)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-04-22) RAMALHO, Ishi Macris de Oliveira; LAMARÃO, Claudio Nery; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6973820663339281Zircons of Archean TTG rocks, represented by Arco Verde Tonalite (2,97-2,93 Ga), Mogno Trondhjemite (2,97-2,96 Ga), Mariazinha Tonalite (2,92 Ga), Água Fria Trondhjemite (2,86 Ga), Rio Maria (2,87 Ga), Trairão and Grotão granodiorites and Guarantã leucogranite (2,87 Ga), beyond the São João paleoproterozoic granite (1,89 Ga), outcropping in the Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone Terrene, southeastern portion of the Amazonian Craton, were studied by cathodoluminescence images (CL) and semiquantitative analysis of EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The internal textural features observed by CL images showed complex stories of crystallization for zircons of different groups of rocks such as: (1) euhedral crystals, strongly zoned without evident alteration and subhedral to anhedral crystals, weakly zoned and intensely altered; (2) crystals showing well defined oscillatory zoning and homogeneous crystals or with imperceptible zones, showing changes in physical and chemical conditions during crystallization; (3) crystals with Ca and U metamict enriched cores and crystals with luminescent cores resembling inherited cores; (4) zircon crystals containing several F-apatite inclusions that truncate or accompany their growth zones, indicating that apatite is a mineral phase as early as zircon in the history of crystallization of their host rocks; (5) crystals devoid of F-apatite inclusions, which could indicate compositionally different source in relation to rocks containing apatite inclusions; (6) zircons crystals with more luminescent edges than their inner portions, suggesting compositional change at the end of crystallization. Temporal and geochemically distinct granitoids were individualized and characterized in specific geochemical diagrams based on the Zr, Hf, Y, Nb and Ta content of their zircons. Zircons of the São João paleoproterozoic granite showed a distinct geochemical signature from those of TTG Archean rocks, indicating that these rocks can be individualized through composing of their zircons, even through semiquantitative analyzes of EDS. SEM-CL-EDS studies in zircons crystals are important tools in the characterization of different groups of igneous rocks and provide complementary information to petrological studies.Item Desconhecido Petrografia, geoquímica e suscetibilidade magnética do granito Gradaús, Província Carajás, SE do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-10-31) CARVALHO, Thiago Andrade de; LAMARÃO, Claudio Nery; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6973820663339281The Gradaús Granite (1882±9 M.y.), located in Pará State, to the West of Bannach city and to the North of Cumaru do Norte, southeastern portion of Amazonian Craton, it is an anorogenic batholith with an area approximately 800 km², it is part of an intense granitic magmatism event that occurred during the Paleoproterzoic in the Carajás Province. It outcrops metasedimentary rocks of Rio Fresco Group, which lays on archean units of Rio Maria Domain. It compreends two distinct petrographic group: monzogranitics, composed by biotite-monzogranite and porfiritic-biotite-monzogranite, and syenogranitics, composed by biotite-anfibolesyenogranite, biotite-syenogranite and porfiritic-biotite-syenogranite. The magnetic suscetibility (MS) data allowed to identify three populations with differents magnetic characteristics, moderate to low MS values (< 3.53 x10-3 SIv) classify it as a moderately reduced granite. The Gradaús Granite shows contents of SiO2 >75%, MgO <0,2%, CaO <1%, FeOt between 1-2% and Al2O3 between 11,3 e 12,9%, metaluminous to peraluminous nature, 0.94 to 0.97 FeOt/(FeOt+MgO) ratios, K2O/Na2O ratios between 1 and 2 and higher LREE contents than HREE ((La/Yb)n=9.40). The LREE shows a moderate fractionation pattern ((La/Sm)n=4.61), while the HREE shows a subhorizontalized pattern ((Gd/Yb)n=1.40). The Eu anomalies are moderate to accentuated in the monzogranitic and syenogranitic rocks (Eu/Eu* 0.43-0.02), and slightly accentuated in the porfiritic ones (Eu/Eu* 0.25-0.03). It shows geochemical affinity to intraplate A-type granites, A2 subtype and ferroan granites. It shows petrografic, geochemical, geochronological and MS similarities to São João and Seringa granites, not yet placed in none of the three granitic suites of Carajás Province. The comparative study between these three granites to those which compreends the Jamon, Velho Guilherme and Serra dos Carajás granitic suites shows that these granites presente greater similarities to the granites that integrate the Serra dos Carajás Suite.Item Desconhecido Petrologia da seqüência xistosa Seridó, Currais Novos - Parelhas (RN)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1981-03-13) GAMA JÚNIOR, Theodomiro; ALBUQUERQUE, Carlos Alberto Ribeiro deThis work deals with the metamorphism of the Seridó schists in the region Currais Novos - Parelhas, of the Seridó schist belt. The study involved the petrography of the rocks, the chemistry of rocks and selected minerals and the application of geothermometers and geobarometers as well as a correlation between deformation and metamorphic crystallization of the minerals. The three consecutive phases of deformation (F1, F2, F3) described have been recognized although F3 was seen only locally. Syntectonic crystallization (relative to F1) was noted for most minerals although post-tectonic crystallization is seen very often. The pressure and temperature of crystallization can be estimated at approximately 4 kb and 550°C, respectively. The occurrence of staurolite in metasedimentary aasemblages defines metamorphic conditions of the amphibolite facies. Garnet, with about 70% of the almandine molecule and 15% of the spessartite molecule, coexists with cordierite and andalusite for sillimanite). Therefore, the metamorphism is of the 1°w-to intermediate pressure type. The grade of metamorphism is almost constant in the region studied, without evidence of retrograde metamorphism except where intense deformation produced phyllonites. The conditions of metamorphism of this part of the Seridó schist belt can be compared to those of the Abukuma belt of Japan. The metasedimentary rocks were derived from sediments dominantly with a composition corresponding to a mixture of pelite and greywacke.Item Desconhecido Petrologia e geocronologia do magmatismo granítico do Cinturão Araguaia(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-11-28) SILVA NETO, Juvenal Juarez Andrade da; GORAYEB, Paulo Sérgio de Sousa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4309934026092502In the eastern region of the Araguaia Belt (AB), in Tocantins State, four relatively small granitic bodies are identified: Ramal do Lontra (GRL), Presidente Kennedy (GPK), Barrolândia (GBR) e Santa Luzia (GSL). These rocks represent the record of an important granitogenesis event that is related to the evolution of the AB at the later Neoproterozoic. The few geological data on these bodies were poorly organized which precluded an integrated understanding and the correlation with other outcropping areas. This magmatism is not spatially very representative, but it is important due to the relationship of the granitic emplacement with the main phase of the regional metamorphism. This work is focused on the petrological and geochronological interpretation of granitic magmatism of the AB, especially on the petrographic and geochemical characterization of the main bodies, definition of ages of the magmatic episodes by zircon U-Pb dating and investigation of sources and time of crustal residence by TDM model ages (Sm-Nd) and Nd values. The studied bodies comprise stocks with slightly oval shapes and size that varies from 3 to 6 km on the major axis and 2-8 km on the smaller one, which are emplaced on micaxistes and quartzites of the Estrondo Group. In field stage, some important features were noted, such as the lack of the contact metamorphism and xenoliths on the country rocks, as well as the lack of the cooling borders, presence of granitic portions on the country rocks and the structural concordance between the foliations of the country rocks and the granitic body. The rocks were classified as two-mica meta-granites with low mineralogical variation, low mafic mineral content (<6%), hololeucocratic, medium grained and equigranular features, and granoblastic and relic granular hypidiomorphic textures. On the QAP diagram, the GRL, GBR and GSL plotted on the monogranite field or on the limits between the monzogranite and granodiorite fields, whereas, the GPK felt on the granodiorite field. The essential mineralogical content is formed by oligoclase, quartz and microcline, followed by biotite and muscovite. The accessory minerals are represented by apatite, zircon, allanite, garnet, monazite and opaque minerals. The granitic rocks are geochemically similar with SiO2 content from 71% to 74%, and Al2O3 between 13% and 15%. The Na2O and K2O contents are slightly higher in the GRL and GPK, which reflect on the A/CNK ratio, plotting on the peraluminous field. The low content of MgO, Fe2O3Total and CaO indicate these rocks are low fractionated. The trace elements also pointed out small compositional variations on the rocks of the different bodies. The REE patters demonstrated a medium to strong fractionation of the light REE in relation to the heavy REE, showing (La/Yb)N values between 11.8 and 72.8 and week Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.5-1.3). The zircon U-Pb dating by SHRIMP reveled ages of 542.7 ± 1.9 Ma (GPK), 541.5 ± 1.8 Ma (GBR) and 546.4 ± 2.3 Ma (GSL). These ages were interpreted as zircon crystallization at the later Neoproterozoic. The age obtained for the GRL was slightly older (615,7 ± 26 Ma) with a higher MSWD errors. The Sm-Nd isotopic results for the four bodies reveled TDM model ages between 1.69 and 1.84 Ga and Nd values from -12.18 to -6.21. On the Nd versus time diagram, the plots indicate a dominantly Statherian crustal sources for the parental magmas. The integrated data analysis allows us to suggest that the granitic bodies are correlated, which their origin is associated to a same granitogenesis event. The U-Pb ages between 541 and 546 Ma, interpreted as crystallization of the GPK, GBR and GSL, are related to the main metamorphic phase of the AB. The emplacement of this bodies is associated to the orogenic collisional phase of the AB at the later Neoproterozoic. The Sm-Nd data suggest that the studied rocks were generated by anatexia of at least two different sources, which favored the aggregation of granitic melts, rising and late emplacement of these magma at the main phase of the Araguaia Belt.Item Desconhecido Quartzo magmático e hidrotermal do depósito de ouro São Jorge, província aurífera do Tapajós-PA: petrografia, MEV-CL e implicações metalogenéticas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08-05) SOTERO, Aldemir de Melo; LAMARÃO, Claudio Nery; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6973820663339281The São Jorge Deposit (DSJ), located in the municipality of Vila Riozinho, Gold Tapajós Province, southwest of Pará state, is hosted on 1.89 Ga monzogranite rocks, hydrothermalized at different intensities, belonging to the Younger São Jorge granite. Four morphologicaltextural types of quartz (Qz1, Qz2, Qz3 e Qz4) were identified through images of scanning electron microscopy-cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) in the mineral assemblages proposed by Borges et al. (2009) to the area of the São Jorge gold deposit. In the most preserved rocks (assemblages 1 and 2), rich in amphibole and biotite, occur anhedral crystals of primary magmatic quartz, with moderate to high luminescence (Qz1). In the altered rocks (assemblages 2 and 3), post-magmatic to hydrothermal fluids affected the granite and percolated fractures in Qz1 and crystallized Qz2 not luminescent (dark). In the most intensely altered rocks (assemblage 4), successive alteration, dissolution and recrystallization processes gave rise to zoned subhedral (Qz3) and euhedral (Qz4) quartz crystals, typically hydrothermal, the latter being host of the gold mineralization. The textural evolution of quartz is directly related to hydrothermal fluids that affected the rocks of the Younger São Jorge granite. Backscattered electrons images (ERE) and semiquantitative analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) identified two generations of gold: Au1, enriched in Ag (4.3 to 23.7%) and included or associated to crystals of Py; Au2, enriched in Te (1.1 to 17.2%) and included in Qz4. The study of quartz crystals by SEM-CL provided important morphological and textural information for understanding of the hydrothermal processes that acted in the mineralized area of the São Jorge gold deposit, allowing the application of this methodology in studies of quartz of other hydrothermal deposits.
