Estudo sedimentológico dos paleocanais da região do rio Paracauari, Ilha de Marajó - estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1981-11-19) BEMERGUY, Ruth Léa; TRUCKENBRODT, Werner Hermann Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5463384509941553
This investigations deals with the paleochannels of the Paracauari river In the northeastern region of Marajó island, based on the photogeological interpretation of maps (scale: 1:20.000) and Sedimentological studies of 13 holes with maximun depth of 50 meters. Morphologically the paleochannels are caracterized by meandering forms and are easily recognized by the vegetation and topographic features. The paleochannels are constituted of texturally mature and well sorted sands. The study of the heavy minerals fractions shows that following species are more importante: tourmaline, staurolite, zircon, andalusite and kianite. These minerals constitute a mature suite whi.ch are not only from the Amazon river system but also from the Tocantins river system. The clay fraction are represented by kaolinite, montmorilionite, illite and chlorite. These mineralogical composition reveals the influente of the more them one climatic change. The possible sources areas for these minerals are: the Andes Mountains; the upper Amazon and the Tocantins basin from this work we conclude that the methods of sedimentological research presented here with the studies of the morphological patterns in the northern and northeastern regions of Marajó Island can be applied to groundwater prospecting.

Evolução geológica da região de Colméia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1980-09-03) COSTA, João Batista Sena; HASUI, Yociteru; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3392176511494801
A geological mapping of the Colmeia region, in northern Goiás, has been carried out on a 1:100.000 scale. Semi-detailed geological observations coupled with stratigraphic, structural and petrological data are integrated aiming at the geological evolution of that region. The oldest recognized unit, the Archean Colmeia Complex, is represented by gneisses, granites and migmatites with associated schists, quartzites and amphibolites, and forms the central core of the Colmeia brachyanticline. Two main deformation periods have affected these rocks at the end of the Archean: the earliest period, F1deformed the rock banding surfaces into folds with E-W orlented axes and originated a well-defined axial-plane schistosity; the other one, F2, caused the refolding of the banding surfaces and folded the schistosity planes as to produce folds also with E-W oriented axes. Furthermbre, two migmatization phases were recognized: the first phase was contemporaneous with F1 and formed quartz-feldspar-rich neossomes in which minerais show a preferred orientation; the second phase predates F2 but post-dates F1, and is characterized by neossomes consisting essentially of non-oriented quartz and feldspar minerals. In the Middle Proterozoic, the Amazon Craton was regenerated leading to the accumulation of a thick volcano-sedimentary pile known as the Baixo Araguaia Super Group (Abreu, 1978). The lower unit of this pile is represented by the Estrondo Group which consists, from bottom to top of the Morro do Campo Formation (quartzites with schist intercalations), the Xambioá Formation (schists of various lithologies) and the Canto da Vazante Formation (feldspathic schists with biotite schist intercalations). The upper unit constitutes the Tocantins Group which is represented in the Colmeia region by the chlorite-quartz schists of the Pequizeiro Formation. Metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic rocks are associated with both the Estrondo and the Tocantins Group. In the Colmeia region, the Baixo Araguaia Super Group had a poliphasic evolution throughout the Middle Proterozoic. Its rocles recorded three major deformation periods: the first one is represented by intrafolial folding of the So surfaces and by the formation of an axial-plane schistosity; the second deformation event disturbed the schistosity surfaces generatinÉ folds with inclined axial planes and N-S oriented axes; the third deformation period is characterized by crenulation of the schistosity. The resulting folds have milimetric to kilometric dimensione and their axes parallel. NW-SE directions. Where the schistosity was completely transposed, crenulation cleavage was developed and biotite and chlorite recrystallizations took place on the transposition planes. The planar structures of the Baixo Araguaia basement were bent in response to shearing. Regional metamorphism of greenschist and amphibolite facies is concomitant with the first deformation episode while the second event affected the underlying Colmeia Complex superirnposing a similar folding style; at the same time contemporaneous migmatization originated N-S oriented quartz-feldspathic neossomes. Subsequent remobilization of the Colmeia Complex and the emplacement of intrusive granitic bodies gave rise to the Colmeia brachyanticline with which minor N-S oriented folds are associated. Radial faults were developed cutting both the basement and the metasedimentary cover. Other major discontinuities are also related to this event. The sedimentation of the Rio das Barreiras Formation marks the final act of the evolutionary history of the Colmeia region. Such an evolution included lithogenetic processes of the Archean and Middle Proterozoic as well as thermo-tectonic phenomena related to the Jequié and Uruaçuano cycles. K-Ar and Rb-Sr radiometric dating indicates reheating associated with the Transamazonic and Brazilian cycles.

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.

O padrão de distribuição de elementos principais e traços nas lateritas fosfatadas da Chapada de Pirocaua (MA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1982-05-27) SIQUEIRA, Natalino Valente Moreira de; LIMA, Waterloo Napoleão de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1229104235556506
The phosphate e laterite of Piracaua (state of Maranhão) was studied with basis on several lines of evidence, namely, structure of the deposit, mineral distribuition, variations in chemical composition and chemistry of ground waters in the region. The distribuition of elements during the formation of the deposit is interpreted and the conditioning factors analysed. The Pirocaua hill occurs on the coast in the northwestern part of Maranhão state, near the mouth of the river Maracaçume. The hill is 105 m high and the phosphate occurs near the top, and it was possible-to study across section of about 50 m. Five horizons were defined, in the order towards the topgparent rockm which was not' reached, but is probably phyllite of the Gurupi group; transition horizon, with partially.a1tered phyllite; kaolinite horizon; phosphate horizon; and iron riohcrust. The phosphate horizon has an average thickness of 5 to 6 m and contains mostly augelite and smaller amounts of crandallite-goyazite; these are also small amounts of variscite, wavellite and senegalite. Our results show that fluctuations of the hydrostatic level were important during the Formation of the phosphate horizon. When the deposit was formed there was also a decrease of the activity of the silicic acid and a parallel increase of acidity towards the top of the cross-section studied. In these conditions, Fe2+ migrated towards the top of the deposit and was precipitated as Fe3+ in the oxidizing zone. Migration of phosphate was in part due to its affinits to play minerals, in which mechanism ground water played asmajor role. The distribuition of several elements (Fe, P, A1, Si, Ti, Ca, Sr, Mg, Mn, Na, K, B, Mo, Ga, Cu, Ni, V e Cr] shows that: The increase in iron contents from the lowermost horizon to the iron-rich top is related to the increase in the contents of hematite and goethite, similarly, high contents of A1 and P are related to the occurence of Al-and Al-Ca-phosphate. Si contents show little variation in the laterite zone and phosphate horizon; as can be expected, its values are much higher in the kaolioite horizon. Ti shows only a smell variation in the erase section and is found mostly in anatose. Ca and Sr are found mostly in the phosphates, particularly ovandallite-goyazite. Mg, Na and K ware ale strongly bleached during the process. B is obviously associated with tourmaline (dravite). While Mn and Mo show only little variation, the highest concentrations of Ga,V and Cr are fund in the phosphate horizon and iron - rich crust. Cu end Ni show a similar distribuition and their behaviour is probably influenced by their chemical similarity to Mg. Mass balance Calculations indicate that of the parent-rock is a phyllite, it is neeessary an extreme enrichement in P and Sr to give the composition of the phosphate horizon. With basis on these observetions we conclude that: 1) the parent-rock must have contents of P and Sr higher than the average for phyllites; or 2) the phosphate has some other source; We support therefore that drill-holes be made in order to collect samples of the metassediments beneath the deposit to determine the concentrations of the two elements in these rocks.

Tratamento estatístico de dados geoquímicos e sua aplicação ao mapeamento geológico e definição de anomalias geoquímicas no alvo 2 - corpo 4 - Província Mineral de Carajás
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1982-12-29) MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso; RAMOS, José Francisco da Fonseca; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8189651755374537
A geochemical soil survey was .carried out in the Alvo 2 - Corpo 4 area of t.he Província Mineral de Carajás (Carajas Mineral Province), Pará, Brazil. Sample elements were collected and analyzed in order to determine, for each one of them, the degree of concentration of the following chemical elements: iron, aluminum, magnesium, manganese, titanium, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, copper, and zinc. Thereafter, multivariate statistical techniques were employed to process the data, that are known as cluster analysis and discriminant analysis. The former algorithm was applied in order to classify the elements of the soil sample into geochemically homogeneous groups that could be correlated with underlying lithologies. A discriminant analysis was then per formed to statiscally evaluate the distinctiveness of groups arrived at, and at the same-time to define those chemical elements which were most determinant throughoot the discriminatory process. Cluster analysis classified the soil sample elements into eight homogeneou groups that are perfectly correlated with underlying rocks. Discriminant analysis showed that results of the cluster are good, and only titanium and zinc do not play an important role in discriminating the groups arrived at. The results obtained show that the multivariate statistical processing of geochemical soil data can be used successfully as a useful tool when mapping the geology of tropical areas. Finally, an examination of Pearson correlation coefficients, scatter diagrams and residuals from regression analysis, allowed to explore the possible effect of hydrous iron and manganese oxides and of clay minerals (extra-mineralization factors), in producing the copper and zinc anomalies revealed by the geochemical soil survey, originally. Concentrations of hydrous iron and manganese ox ides and of clay minerals were correlated with concentrations of iron, manganese and aluminum in the soil. The Pearson correlation coefficients and the scatter diagrams of copper, and then of zinc, with iron manganese and aluminum, as well as the reduced major axis regression line of copper on iron, indicated that high, grades of copper and zinc found in the soil sample of Alvo 2 - Corpo 4 are not affected by the extra-mineralization factors considered. Therefore, it is conclude that it is the sulphide mineralization present in the study area that can be held responsible for those high concentrations of copper and zinc.
