O arcabouço estrutural da região de Chega-tudo e Cedral, noroeste do Maranhão, com base em sensores geofísicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2002-12-05) RIBEIRO, José Wilson Andrade; ABREU, Francisco de Assis Matos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9626349043103626; PINHEIRO, Roberto Vizeu Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3251836412904734
The central-northern continental segment of the Brazilian coast, which straddles the boundary between the Pará and Maranhão States, is known in the geological literature as the Gurupi Region. The region is characterized by the presence of two main erosional Precambrian windows which expose small-sized Proterozoic shields in Phanerozoic sedimentary basins. Advances in the understanding of the Precambrian geological history of this area have been limited by the lack and quality of exposures due to the deep weathering profile developed. The use of airborne geophysics proved to be a helpful tool allowing a better definition of some lithological contacts and the shape of major tectonic features. The study area covers part part of the Gurupi Shear Belt, located in one of the Precambrian windows mentioned. This segment of the belt exhibits a variety of sedimentary- and igneous-derived supracrustal rocks in association with plutonic-derived metamorphic rocks. These rocks are structurally organized in three main NW-trending strips which were correlated to the Maracaçumé Complex, Gurupi Group and Tromai Suite. Sheared- and hydrothermally-altered basic and ultrabasic intrusive rocks are often found tectonically interlayered with the Gurupi Group rocks. All the above-mentioned rocks have been metamorphozed under low green-schist to low amphibolite facies conditions and affected by hydrothermal alteration. Diabase dikes crosscut the main Precambrian lithological units along several structural trends. Alluvial deposits along active drainages constitute the youngest lithologic units in the area. The kinematic and geometric analysis of the main tectonic structures observed allows the definition of the area as a shear-belt segment, characterized by steeply-dipping planar structures which are indicative of an oblique left-hand continental collision. The area is also characterized by the presence of a relatively narrow NW-trending highlystrained zone developed along carbonaceous metapelitic lithologic units. This corridor is well defined in the geophysical data and represents an important zone of crustal weakening responsable for most of the deformation partitioning which took place in the area. A secondary NNW-trending shear zone branches off from this main deformation zone and follows the contact of the metapelites with the metavolcaniclastic rocks. The splay caused the detachment of the coarse-grained volcanic rocks from the metapelites. The dominant NW-trending tectonic fabric observed along the exposed rocks of the belt is crosscut by three main sets of fractures well defined by the geophysical surveys, trending N-S, EW and NE-SW. The N-S and E-W fracture sets are associated with drag folds showing sinistral and dextral displacements, respectively. The E-W faults correspond to those previously described by several authors as strike-slip faults. On the scale used, no displacement along the NE-trending fractures could be observed in the geophysical maps, although they control the main river courses in the study area. The NEtrending fractures themselves are not outlined in the magnetic data. In function of this, the available data can not support the idea of some authors who described them as major fault zones related to the the main devolopment of the belt. The N-S fault zones disrupt the NW-trending dominant fabric of the belt exibit left-hand displacements. The N-S, NW-SE and NNW-SSE tectonic fabric present in the region show multiple disruptions, crosscutting one another probably due to several reactivation episodes. The crosscutting relations observed in the geophysical data suggest the N-S fault zones are later in relation to the main NW-trending structures of the belt, although their timings could not be defined with the available data.

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.

A associação anortosito-mangerito-granito rapakivi (AMG) do Cinturão Guiana Central, Roraima, e suas encaixantes paleoproterozóicas: evolução estrutural, geocronologia e petrologia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2002-12-19) FRAGA, Lêda Maria; COSTA, João Batista Sena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0141806217745286
The geological mapping on a scale of 1:250,000, of an area of approximately 22,500 km2 in the central region of the state of Roraima, combined with the petrographic and microtectonic study and new geochronological, lithochemical and isotopic data, allowed the characterization of an anorthosite-mangerite association -rapakivi granite (AMG), Mesoproterozoic and its Paleoproterozoic host. Orthogneisses, foliated granitoids and charnockite rock bodies from the Serra da Prata Intrusive Suite show Pb-Pb (zircon evaporation) ages around 1.94 Ga, also inferred for the associated norites and gabbronorites. The Paleoproterozoic igneous suites were placed syn-kinematically, during Deformational Event D1, with the evolution of petroweaves indicative of high temperatures, from 600º-650ºC. These features include recrystallized feldspars by subgrain rotation, recrystallized perthitic alkali feldspars and quartz with checkerboard subgrains and have been observed in syn-plutonic dykes that cut the early-kinematic D1 fabric in the host country. The NE-NW arrangement of the Paleoproterozoic bodies was controlled by the previous structure of this sector of the Central Guiana Belt (CGC). The orthogneisses and foliated granitoids comprise two distinct suites, with lithochemical characteristics of type A granitoids, probably related to different oxidation conditions at the source. The charnockite rocks show chemical characteristics approaching those described for C-type magmatism. Sm-Nd TDM model ages between 2.19 Ga and 2.05 Ga, with ƐNd(T) values ranging from +0.68 to +2 ,47 suggested sources of limited crustal residence. The age of the orogenic events in Roraima has not yet been properly clarified, however, despite the limited data, a post-collisional positioning is proposed for the Paleoproterozoic suites studied after the accretion of transamazonian magmatic arcs. The Paleoproterozoic units constitute the basement of the Mesoproterozoic igneous suites, which comprise the anorthosites of the Repartimento unit and associated gabbronorites, the rapakivi granitoids of the Mucajaí Intrusive Suite (SIM), and the fine, porphyritic charnockites, of punctual occurrence and uncertain geochronological positioning. In SIM, three granite facies were identified (fayalite-pyroxene-quartz-mangerites to syenites; hornblende-biotite-granites; and biotite-porphyritic granites) geochemically and petrographically very similar to rapakivi granites from classical areas of Finland. The presence of fayalite in the most primitive rocks of the SIM indicates conditions of low oxygen fugacity, observed in several rapakivi granite complexes. Fine charnockites show no cpm to SIM chemical correlation. The Mesoproterozoic suites are part of an AMG (Anortosito-Mangerito-Granito rapakivi) association placed in an anorogenic environment between 1.54 and 1.53Ga. Model ages Sm-Nd, from 2.07 Ga to 2.01 Ga with ƐNd(T) values ranging from -2.37 to -1.27 suggest, for the granitoids in the association, crustal sources separate from the mantle in the Paleoproterozoic , probably during the Transamazônico. Mylonitic features related to the D2 Deformational Event, registering conditions of moderate to low temperatures (400º-450ºC), in a brittle-ductile environment, locally obliterate the igneous textures of the Mesoproterozoic units, as well as the high temperature D1 petrowebs in the Paleoproterozoic basement. These features are especially well developed in some shear zones that show dextral transpressive kinematics. The D2 event aged around 1.26 Ga relates to the K'Mudku Deformational Episode. The main D2 mylonitic zones were reactivated in the Mesozoic at shallow crustal levels and brittle conditions, during the evolution of Graben Tacutu.

Caracterização estrutural da borda sudeste do sistema transcorrente Carajás com ênfase nas rochas do terreno granítico-gnáissico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2002-04-05) OLIVEIRA, Junny Kyley Mastop de; PINHEIRO, Roberto Vizeu Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3251836412904734
The Itacaiúnas Belts is placed in the east board of the Amazonian Craton. It is dividid into two main tectonic domains: (1) the Carajás and Cinzento Strike Slip systems that expose Archaean and Proterozoic volcano-sedimentary rocks; and (2) several sets of imbricated thurst fans covering the large basement area. The Carajás Strike Slip System (CSSS) is formed by sets of interrupted, anastomosed lineament, trending around the E-W direction, where both acid and basic volcanic rocks together with ironstones, quartzites (Grão Pará Group); sandstones, mudstones (Águas Claras Formation) and conglomerates (Gorotire Formation) are present inside a kilometer-scale dilational jog. These rocks cover the granitic-gneissic rocks of the Archaean basement. Proterozoic granites are intruded in almost all these rocks forming several plutons. The CSSS is cut by the Carajás Fault representing the most important particular structural feature associated to the Archaean tectonic evolution of the region. The basement of the region, exposed to the south of the CSSS is affected by an early ductile sinistral transpressional event of deformation able to develop a foliation on the rocks. A later ductile-brittle deformational event is overprinting the early mylonitic fabric. This feature has been related to an important hydrothermal episode of alteration including several pulses. On the basis of this general tectonic setting was defined the main aim of this research is which related to the presence of the later planar and linear ductile-brittle fabrics that overprint the early ductile foliation of the basement rocks. The occurrence, age and role of this earlier fabric in the tectonic evolution of the region is not well known. Previous studies have shown the close relation between this deformational feature and the presence of important ore deposits (mainly Au and Cu) distributed along the area. The studied area is located in the SE board of the CSSS, in the basement terrain and is geographically limited by the coordinates 6º 19'56'S; 6º 3508'S and 49º 4913"W; 50º 16'36"W. This study was developed by 1:50.000 scale geological mapping, 3 supported by remote sensing techniques, focusing the geometry and kinematics of the related structures, and also detail scale mapping (1:100) of selected areas and outcrops. The mapping revealed the presence of rocks from the Pium Complex (granolites; about 3.0Ga); Xingu Complex (gneisses, granitoids, amphibolites and migmatites; 2.8Ga); Plaque Suite (biotite — granites; 2.7Ga); Grão Pará Group (basalts, amphilolites, quatzites and ironstones; 2.7 Ga); Proterozoic Granites (2.0-1.8Ga). The Pium and Xingu complexes and Plaque Suite rocks are marked by the presence of an important milonitc foliation trending about the E-W, WNW-ESE and N-S directions always stepling dipping (>70º). The E-W trendding foliation is the most important. This fabric is better represented by a spaced, disjunctive, anastomosing, sometimes smooth foliation closely associated to several milonitic features. This foliation is associated to a partitioned ductile transpressional episode of deformation developed under both sinistral (more important) and destral displacements. A second non-pervasive planar-linear deformational fabric is observed overprinting the early milonitic one. This features are present in both basement and supracrustal rocks (mainly the Grão Pará Group) where this early fabric may be not present. This new foliation is a brittle cleavage that can reach different stages of development from a coarse brechia placed along fault zones to a spaced disjunctive cleavage (from a typical fracture cleavage to a slaty cleavage) along shear bands. This foliation may be accompanied for a structural constructed lineation (slickenlines and slickensides). The general orientation of this set of foliation places around the NW-SE and NE-SW directions, most of them along the first trend. This fabric is associated to a sinistral-dextral transpressional deformational event, able to reativate part of the early milonitic one. Hydrothermal mineral assemblages forming veins fills the shear bands and associated features. This fabric is supposed to be formed by cataclastic flow during high fluid-pressure along tectonic conducts related to the Carajás Fault reactivation during its nucleation about 2.7Ga.

Datação pelo método de traços de fissão em apatita da região da estrutura dômica de Monte Alegre, Bacia do Amazonas (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-04-05) NEGRÃO, Sílvia Cristina Barroso; LELARGE, Maria Lidia Vignol; MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1035254156384979
In the northern portion of the Amazonas Sedimentary Basin, south of the Monte Alegre city (PA), a semi-elliptical structure defined by a group of small hills occurs, which is known as the Monte Alegre Dome. In the central portion of the dome, Devonian rocks of the Ererê Formation crop out, while toward the edge of the structure the Neodevonian to Mesocarboniferous successions, represented by the Barreirinha, Curiri, Oriximiná, Faro and Monte Alegre formations, are exposed. Diabase dykes and sills of about 200 Ma (Penatecaua Magmatism) cut this set of rocks. The formation of this dome structure has been related to the emplacement of dykes and sills of diabase. However, the contribution of Tertiary tectonism, present throughout the Amazon Basin, cannot be ruled out for the formation of the dome, since in the eastern and southern portions of this structure the Cretaceous to Tertiary rocks of the Alter do Chão formation are in faulting contact with rocks of the Ererê formation. In this study we applied the apatite fission track thermochronology in the diabase of the Penatecaua Magmatism in order to determine the age of formation of the dome structure, and to investigate the role of the Tertiary tectonics in the development of this structure. The apatite fission track method (AFT) is applied to study the thermotectonic evolution of a region, since the quantification of the fission tracks present in the mineral permits to estimate the age at which the rock passed through a given temperature (blocking temperature), which may be related to a tectonic event (uplift / subsidence) that occurred in the area. The mafic rocks studied in the region of Monte Alegre provided ATF apparent average ages between 53.2 and 43.6 Ma. These ages are interpreted as representing major tectonic events that occurred in the Tertiary (Early to Middle Eocene) that uplifted to shallower crustal levels and the diabases and the country rocks. The thermal histories obtained after modeling the AFT data allowed the recognition of four events of cooling, which occurred at 140-110 Ma, 110-100 Ma, 55-45 Ma and 30 Ma-recent. Just one sample (TFMA-12), located outside of the dome structure, did not record the Eocene tectonic event. The ATF data modeling also permitted to estimate cooling rates ranging from 0.4ºC / Ma for slower events, up to 2.82°C / Ma for faster events. Based on these cooling rates it is suggested that 3 to 3.35 km of rocks section was removed due to the reactivation of faults at different moments during the geologic evolution of the region, mainly along the Cenozoic. The apparent ATF ages between 43.6 and 53.2 Ma, as well as the significant cooling thermal event recorded in the Eocene by the data modeling revealed the important role that the Tertiary (Eocene) tectonic in the formation of dome structure of Monte Alegre. It is believed that the apparent ages of fission tracks (43.6 and 53.2 Ma) would place limits on the age of this Tertiary tectonics.

Estratigrafia e evolução estrutural do segmento setentrional da faixa de desdobramentos Paraguai - Araguaia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1979-06-13) ABREU, Francisco de Assis Matos de; HASUI, Yociteru; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3392176511494801
The northern part of the Paraguai-Araguaia orogenic belt comprises a significant portion of the South American Platform. Here, the Brazilian geotectonic cycle (550-900 m.y), produced a mountain chain through a complex sequence of sedimentary metamorphic, magmatic, and structural events along the eastern margin of the Amazon craton. The lithologic sequence is designated stratigraphically as the Baixo Araguaia Supergroup which comprises the Estrondo Group and the overlying Tocantins Group. The basal formation in the Estrondo Group is the Morro do Campo Formation which consists of quartzites and subordinate schists and gneisses. The Xambioá overlies the Morro do Campo and includes several kinds of schists. The Tocantins Group is formed by Couto Magalhães Formation, represented by phyllites and intercalated quartzites and the overlying Pequizeiro Formation consiwts of pelitic sediments and Mg-rich igneous derivatives. The Estrondo and the Tocantins groups are intruded by ultramafic, mafic, and granitic rocks that are associated with late and post-tectonic igneous events. The Rio das Barreiras Formation, a sedimentary sequence represented by a polymictic conglomerate with carbonate matrix and sandy and silty interlayers, unconformably overlies the Pequizeiro Formation and may represent erosional remnants of a final phase of the Brazilian cycle. Primary lithologic structures in Baixo Araguaia Su pergroup are preserved as relict compositional stratification, inclined, parallel, and graded bedding in metasediments, and flow structures in the igneous rocks. Superposed penetrative planar and linear deformation structures are present in several generations. The regional N-S striking schistosity is of axial-plane type and is related to the intrafolial folds, with an easterly dip getting vergence to Amazon craton. The regional dip is 309 and decreases to abaut 159 adjacent to the Amazon craton. Gneissic banding parallels schistosity of overlying schists in the larger folds and they share a common mineral lineation. Polyphase deformation is recorded by a fold sequence which varies in scale from 1 cm to 30 km and is related to the differents structural levels within the crust. The lower structural level includes: a) similar-type intrafolial isoclinal folds which are contemporaneous with regional metamorphism; b) similar tight folds which involve the s.chistosity and transposed bedding; c) shear folds of crenulation developed near to the top of the level in the more plastic horizons. The intermediate level comprises; d) isolated regional flexures near the localities of Colméia, Xambioà-, Lontra, Muricizal; e) two generations of open and cross folds associated with the Iriri-Martírios lineament zone. N-S and NW-SE fracture and fault systems cut ali stratigraphi.c units of the Baixo Araguaia Supergroup. The faults consist of: 1) NW treding transcurrent fault with strike iengths of severa]. Kilometers; 2) thrust faults with N-S- strike such as those near Andorinhas and Muricizal mountains; 3) N-S striking normal faults developed at the edge of the Parnaíba basin and elsewhere. The mapped facies sequence ranges from incipient greenschist facies in the west to amphibolite facies in the east implying an Bastward increase in metamorphic grade. Sericite to garnet isograds are discernibles. Three magmatic events are distinguished. They comprises: a) pre-tectonic basic and ultrabasic plutonic-volcanic magmatism; b) late-tectonic granitic intrusion; c) post- tectonic unfoliated granitic intrusions. Eleven K-Ar mica dates from gneisses and schists of the orogenic belt yield values in the range of 516 ± 10 m.y to 358 ± 19 m.y. (Brazilian Cycle). Five Rb/Sr determinations from the gneissic core of the Colméia fold gives values around 2,000 m.y (Amazonic cycle). The geologic evolution of the northern Paraguai-Araguaia orogenic belt consists of three sequential stages: I) deposition of psammitic and pelitic sediments comprising the Estrondo and lower Tocantins Groups. Basic and ultrabasic igneous activity in late Tocantins time result in the deposition of mixture of pelitic sediments and Mg-rich igneous material which comprise the Pequizeiro Formation. II) polyphase deformation, metamorphism, magmatism, and orogenic uplift followed. These events are subdivided as follows: 1) F1 - deformation and regional metamorphism (Ma) in which So (original bedding) was transposed by isoclinal folding to S1 (regional schistosity) and progressive metamorphism produced sericite and garnet map zunes; 2) F2 - deformation produced tight folds in the schistosity (S1) resulting an axial plane surface (S2); well-marked mineral lineation (L2); 3) F3 deformation developed crenulation folds and a second phase of transposition (S3); e) F4 - deformation produced large folds accopanied by migmatization and late-tectonic granitic intrusions; 5) F5 - deformation formed small-scale plastic folds in cataclastic zones along the Iriri-Martírios lineament. III) The post-metamorphic Rio das Barreiras Formation was then deposited unconformably over this structural sequente and the final deformation event produced fault movements (transcurrent, thrust and normal), established joints, and permitted the rise of post-tectonic granitic plutons. This stage marks a transition from an environment of compressional stress to one of tensional stress on the regional scale. Subsequent to stageIII, consolidation of the South American platform occurred. Related erosional, sedimentary, magmatic, and'tectonic processes affedted this ares at numerous times throughout post-Brazilian cycle time.

Estudo da geometria e cinemática das rochas sedimentares arqueanas da mina do Igarapé do Azul – Carajás-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-09-18) SILVA, Daniela Cristina Costa da; PINHEIRO, Roberto Vizeu Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3251836412904734
The Igarapé Azul Mn Mine is geologically situated along the Carajás Fault trace, in the central portion of the Carajás Strike-slip System. The Mn ore deposit is related to politic sedimentary rocks of the Azul Member on the basal portion of the Águas Claras Formation (Archaean). This unit overlain unconformably the Grão Pará Group (Nogueira et al., 1995). At present day three explotation pits are opened in the mine: (1) Main Mine (Mine 1); (2) Mine 2 and (3) Mine 3. In these locations excellent outcrops of siltstones intercalated with finegrained mudstones, sandstones and Mn-layers are exposed. These rocks are organized in folds and normal/reverse faults sets under heterogeneous deformation, partitioned in different scales. The geologic sections exposed in the mines show the dominance of siltstones intercalated with mudstones in contact with pelitic manganesiferous rocks and ore (Mn bioxide). Primary structures such as hummocky stratification, cross stratification and parallel laminations are common in these rocks. Bedding with thickness of centimeters to a few meters (30-50 cm) represents the main primary structure, used as the main deformation marker observed in rocks. The Igarapé Azul Mn Mine is divided into two blocks separated by normal fault with displacements of tens of meters, where the north block is up in relation to the south one. The south block is poorly deformed, with irregularities in bedding which dips at shallow angles towards south, subsequently positioning the ore layer in deeper levels at S direction. In the north block bedding shows heterogeneous behavior. Deformation is more expressive in this region, with the ore deformed by folds and reverse faults. Faults show vertical along-dipping kinematics with dextral conjugated displacements of oblique character. This region can be defined as a major strain corridor. The kilometer-scale corridor observed at the north block follows the NW-SE trend, in concordance with the main domains separated by the faults described above, characterized as curvilinear asymmetric folds with NW and SE shallow plunge axes (10º-25º). These folds are sectioned by sinuous NW-SE and/or E-W normal faults with shallow dips (10º-30º) associated with dextral strike-slip faults, which generate drag folds. Straight or sinuous NW-SE reverse faults and sub-vertical fault zones are observed. The individual folds in this area are flexural reverse structures with en echelon geometry and similar orientation to the curvilinear folds: shallow SE plunging axes. The features described above drawn a gentle kilometer-scale antiform, which results from bedding accommodation in response to the faulting deformation. The parallelism of the features observed in the Igarapé Azul Mn Mine and the main lineaments which drawn the Carajás Fault suggest a close relation between important deformational episodes occurred during the tectonic history of the Carajás Fault. Faults with normal kinematics associated to directional dextral component of displacement are the major exposures in the area and are related to the dextral transtensional episode responsible for installation of the Carajás Fault prior to 2.6 Ga (Pinheiro, 1997). Folds, thrust faults and subvertical fault zones would be related to deformation under sinistral transpressional regime; a second event responsible for the reactivation and tectonic inversion of most of the primary structures near the Carajás Fault zone (Pinheiro, 1997; Pinheiro e Holdsworth, 2000; Lima, 2002).

Estudo das feições lineares observadas em dados aeromagnéticos da Bacia do Solimões a partir de imagens digitais de sombreamento do relevo anômalo total
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1991-11-25) AFFONSO, Alexandre de Oliveira; O'BRIEN, Douglas Patrick
The Solimões Basin is a magnetically complex basin characterized by a superposition of different linear magnetic anomalies. These anomalies reflect the different tectonic episodes that have occured in the Amazon Region during the Precambriam and Phanerozoic. In this work, a shaded relief method of digital image processing was applied to the aeromagnetic data from the Solimões Basin. The characteristics of this method, which allow its use as a strike enhancement filter, clarified important aspects of the relationships between magnetic lineations oriented E—W, NE—SW, e NW—SE. A magnetic lineation pattern was identified which reflects the presence of dextral strike-slip fault zones that have a preferential orientation in the E—W direction. The interaction between these systems promoted the development of a convergent stress regime which caused the formation of reversel faults associated with E—W and NE—SW magnetic lineaments; together with directional duplexes, forming positive and negative flower structures associated with N70-80E and N70-80W magnetic lineaments. A parallel quantitative analysis was also performed on the aeromagnetic data which attempts to quantify two importants aspects of these linear magnetic anomalies shown on the digital images. The first analysis was based on a forward modeling of the aeromagnetic data using a superposition of two-dimensional prismatic bodies. It is shown that these magnetic linear features can be explained by the superposition of highly magnetized basement sources and higher frequency shallow sources associated with reverse faulting of diabase sill's present in the Paleozoic sediments of the Basin. The second analysis, which was based on cross-covariance methods, calculated the offsets present in the NE—SW magnetic lineaments along dextral E—W directions. This analysis supports the explanation that the magnetic pattern from this region can be explained by means of lateral offsets presumably along pre-existing zones of weakness (Precambrian, Paleozoic), during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

Estudo do comportamento das feições lineares observado em dados aeromagnéticos da Bacia do Paraná
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1990-12-28) MACHADO, Sérgio Augusto Moraes; O'BRIEN, Douglas Patrick
The digital image processing of aeromagnetic data has proved to be an excellent method of interpretation. This technique is referred to as the shaded relief method. The method was applied to aeromagnetic data, over part of the Parana Basin, to enhance the lineaments that are not clearly seen on the original magnetic-anomaly maps. To support our studies, we have used LANDSAT images, as many lineaments encountered in he basin are non-magnetic. This integration allowed definition of two dominant directions for the lineaments: N40° — 60°W and N40° — 65°E. With the definition of this pattern, we obtained some information about the geological trends and, hence, an idea about tectonic evolution of the basin. We also developed a procedure to compute the total magnetization vector of the principal lineament of the basin wich showed five different inclinations of the magnetization vector. These inclinations are explained by a superposition of induced magnetization effects, field reversal effects, and effects of anisotropic magnetization caused by demagnetization within the dikes.

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 estrutural da Bacia do Amazonas e sua relação com o embasamento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1991-02-19) WANDERLEY FILHO, Joaquim Ribeiro; COSTA, João Batista Sena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0141806217745286
This dissertation presents some aspects concer- ning the structural evolution of the Amazon basin and discusses the role of the Pre-Cambrian structures in the development of its architeture. The Pre-Cambrian record comprises strutures re- lated to two main thermal-tectonic events. The oldest one, Archean age, is responsible for the installation of granitic- greenstone terrains, and also the formation of shear belts composed of high grade metamorphic rocks. This event controlled the formation of the basic structural lineaments, trending Nw- SE, NE-SW and E-W. The second event, in the eastern Amazon re- gion, caused the development of NW-SE and WNW-ESE normal faults and NE-SW transfer faults related to an extensional NE-SW proterozoic axis giving rise to the formation of several basins of which, Cachimbo Graben is the most remarkable one. The structural evolution of the Amazon basin throug Phanerozoic time is strongly related to the geometry of the Pre-Cambrian structures. The installation of the Amazon basin is related to cyclic opening and closing of the Iapetus ocean during Paleozoic time. During this cycle, ancient weakness zones tren- ding NE-SW and NW-SE were reactivated as normal and transfer faults respectively. The movements associated to the transfer faults compartmentalized the basin into four distinct structural blocks, of which the compartmental zone of Purus (Purus Ar- ch) isa special example. The Purus arch separates the Amazon basin to the East from Western Solimões basin. Its origin is related to reactivation of normal faults of the Cachimbo Graben. The fragmentation of the Gondwana megacontinent, during mesozoic time, is witnessed in the Amazon basin by the following features: a) NE-SW and NNE-SSW normal faults; b) Nw- SE transfer faults; c) ENE-WSW wrench faults and d) igneous and sedimentary infill. During Cenozoic time, the Amazon basin and adjacent zones suffered effects of stress that generated essencially dextral whrench faults.

Evolução geológica da região de Araguacema-Pequizeiro-Goiás-Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1981-12-21) GORAYEB, Paulo Sérgio de Sousa; ALBUQUERQUE, Carlos Alberto Ribeiro de
The region around Araguacema, Pequizeiro and Conceição do Araguaia, belongs to the Araguaia Fold Belt and exhibits a metasedimantary litological sequence which was subjected to deformation and metamorphism at least in the Upper Proterozoic. Geological mapping, structural-stratigraphic, petrographic and chemical analises permit the elucidation of the geological evolution of the ares. The sequences have been included in the Tocantins. Group constituted of Pequizeiro and Couto Magalhães Formations. Ultramafic and mafic-ultramafic bodies represent both pre and post-tectonic magmatic events. The Rio das Barreiras Formation overlays with an angular unconformity the Tocantins sequences. Pequizeiro Formation is the lower unit of the Tocantins Group and is litogically composed of micaschists, with some quartzites, calcschits, and magnetite-muscovite-phyllites. These rocks represente a metasedimentary sequence derived mostly of pelite and graywacks. The unit Couto Magalhães comprises essentially phyllites and slates with minor metapsammites, metapelites, cherts, lenses of limestones and metagraywackes. Most of these rocks represent an original pelitic sequence. Lenticular serpentinitic bodies of dunitic nature have been introduced in the Couto Magalhães Formation by tectonic processes. All of these bodies are associeted to fault zones and have N-S trends.. They are of alpine type but, they may represent ophiolitic bodies. These sequences underwent poliphasic deformational and metamorphic processes during the Middle Proterozoic and up to the Brasiliano Cycle. The structural evolution comprised three plastic deformation phases called F1, F2 and F3. The metamorphic history included two different events called M1 and M2 with synchronical relation between Ml-F1 and M2-F3, and has a large variation.from ankimetamorphism (west) to greenschist facies (east). Three isograds (sericite, chlorite and biotite) have been defined from W to E, as the temperature grows. In the Upper Proterozóic (Brasiliano Event) ruptural tectonic processes reactiveld ancient basement faults and formed new normal faults and fractures. Hornblends Peridotite plutons; diabase dikes and gabbro stocks were emplaced in the Couto Magalhães Formation, representing post-tectonic magMatfc events. Polymitic conglomerates and siltstonea of Rio das Barreiras Formatian acumuiated in grabens, reflecting the Brasiliano tectonic rellef. In the Phanerozoic, intensiva laterization and weathering have developed in an extensive area in the Araguaia valley with sandy and argillaceous sedimentation along the rivers.

Evolução geológica da região de Colméia

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 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.
