Caracterização geológica, petrográfica, geoquímica e geocronológica do magmatismo granítico da região de Porto Nacional-TO
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2003-02-28) CHAVES, César Lisboa; GORAYEB, Paulo Sérgio de Sousa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4309934026092502
In the Palmas-Porto Nacional region, Tocantins state, a series of granitic bodies has been assigned to two distinct magmatics events: a) Paleoproterozoic Granites (Areias, Carmo, Itália and Ipueiras plutons); b) Neoproterozoic Granites (Lajeado, Aroeira, Matança and Palmas plutons). Cartographic, petrographic, lithochemical and geochronological studies revealed the main characteristic of these granitic bodies and allowed to improve the knowledge of the granitic magmatism of this region. The Paleoproterozoic granites constitute large bodies affected by small strike-slip zones. Petrographically they are represented by sienogranite, monzogranite and quartz syenite, with different amounts of amphibole and biotite. The geochemical signature of the Paleoproterozoic granites are similar. The show a subalcaline character, and are peraluminous to metaluminous. They are rich in REE and, generally, more fractioned in LREE, with negative Eu anomaly and may be classified as A-type granites. Single zircon Pb-evaporation dating of Areias, Ipueiras and Itália granites gave ages of 2086  5 Ma, 2073  2 Ma and 2078  4 Ma, respectively, interpreted as age of emplacement of these plutons. Sm-Nd TDM model ages between 2.19 Ga and 2.15 Ga suggest that these granites were formed by partial melting of Paleoproterozoic juvenile crust. The Nd(2,08Ga) values between +2.26 and +2.89 indicate the mantelic contribution for the formation of these plutons. The Neoproterozoic granites are petrographically classified as sienogranite, monzogranite and quartz sienite with different amounts of ortopyroxene, amphibole and biotite, In general, they may be called charnockites. The geochemical date revealed similarities among the Neoproterozoic granites. They show subalkaline nature and have metaluminous to peraluminous character. These granites are rich in REE and are more fractioned in HREE than LREE. In the geochemical diagrams they plot in the field of the A-type granites. The Sm-Nd isotopics studies for Neoproterozoic granites revealed TDM ages between 2.1 Ga and 1.71 Ga and the Nd(0,55Ga) values between –13.34 and –9.77 that are interpreted as evidence of strong crustal contribution, but probably with some mixtures of younger of sources. This study corroborated the presence of two main events of granite geration in the Porto National-Palmas region. The older is represented by the Paleoproterozoic Carmo, Areias, Ipueiras and Italia granites, with age around 2.08 Ga. The younger granitogenesis is represented by Lajeado, Palmas, Matança and Aroeira bodies emplaced in the Neoproterozoic at 0.55 Ga.

Deformação das rochas siliciclásticas paleoproterozoicas do Grupo Araí como exemplo das reativações de falhas do embasamento, Serra do Tepequém, Roraima, norte do Brasil
(2012-12) FERNANDES FILHO, Lucindo Antunes; PINHEIRO, Roberto Vizeu Lima; TRUCKENBRODT, Werner Hermann Walter; NOGUEIRA, Afonso César Rodrigues
Serra do Tepequém region comprises paleoproterozoic siliciclastic rocks from Araí and Suapi Groups, which are part of Roraima Super-group. Field data indicate that bedding is dipping towards SE and NW in different domains limited by NE-SW sinistral oblique faults with both normal and also reverse displacements. The structural setting is formed by regional scale forced folds represented by kilometre scale kink bands and chevron folds. The proposed framework is compatible with upper-to-middle crustal level. The studied faults were controlled by reactivation of early ductile basement fabric. These findings differ from previous regional models, based on folding under ductile conditions related to colisional tectonics. Results evidence the importance of Guiana Shield early basement structures in controlling the geometry of the brittle structures, which were seen on the cover rocks of Serra do Tepequém.

Evolução da região de Santana do Araguaia (PA) com base na geologia e geocronologia Pb-Pb em zircão de granitoides
(2014-06) CÔRREA, Lívio Wagner Chaves; MACAMBIRA, Moacir José Buenano
The region of Santana do Araguaia, focus of this study, is located in the southeast of Pará State, which, in its turn, lies in the southeastern Amazonian Craton. From the tectonic point of view, it is positioned in the Domain Santana do Araguaia, interpreted as an Archean terrain affected by the Transamazonic Cycle. A petrographic and geochronological study, supported by field data, was undertaken in granitoids of the region in order to unravel the evolution of this field. In modal terms, the studied rocks consist of biotite monzogranite, biotite metagranodiorite, hornblende-biotite granodiorite, hornblende-biotite metatonalite and enderbite. These rocks present themselves undeformed to moderately deformed, with some particularities: the biotite metagranodiorite presents foliation following an E-W trend; the hornblende-biotite metatonalite has a foliation following the NW-SE direction, usually with high to subvertical dives, the biotite monzogranite is isotropic, and lithologies hornblende-biotite granodiorite and enderbite show only a slight orientation of their crystals, mainly noticeable in thin section. These rock types were analyzed by evaporating Pb zircon method and the following ages were obtained: biotite metagranodiorite, 3066 ± 3 Ma and 2829 ± 13 Ma, hornblende-biotite metatonalite, 2852 ± 2 Ma, biotite monzogranite, 2678 to 2342 Ma, hornblende-biotite granodiorite, 1990 ± 7 Ma, and enderbite, 1988 ± 4 Ma. The geochronological data indicate that the rocks crystallized both in the Archean and in the Paleoproterozoic; however, no evidence to prove the action of the Transamazonic Cycle was detected in the region.

This study focuses the granitoids of center-southern portion of Guyana Shield, southeastern Roraima, Brazil. The region is characterized by two tectono-stratigraphic domains, named as Central Guyana (GCD) and Uatumã-Anauá (UAD) and located probably in the limits of geochronological provinces (e.g. Ventuari-Tapajós or Tapajós-Parima, Central Amazonian and Maroni-Itacaiúnas or Transamazon). The aim this doctoral thesis is to provide new petrological and lithostratigraphical constraints on the granitoids and contribute to a better understanding of the origin and geodynamic evolution of Guyana Shield. The GCD is only locally studied near to the UAD boundary, and new geological data and two single zircon Pb-evaporation ages in mylonitic biotite granodiorite (1.89 Ga) and foliated hastingsite-biotite granite (1.72 Ga) are presented. These ages of the protholiths contrast with the lithostratigraphic picture in the other areas of CGD (1.96-1.93 Ga). Regional mapping, petrography, geochemistry and zircon geochronology carried out in the UAD have showed widespread paleoproterozoic calc-alkaline granitic magmatism. These granitoids are distributed into several magmatic associations with different paleoproterozoic (1.97-1.89 Ga) ages, structural and geochemical affinities. Detailed mapping, petrographic and geochronological studies have distinguished two main subdomains in UAD. In the northern UAD, the high-K calc-alkaline Martins Pereira (1.97 Ga) and Serra Dourada S-type granites (1.96 Ga) are affected by NE-SW and E-W ductile dextral shear-zones, showing coexistence of magmatic and deformational fabrics related to heterogeneous deformation. Inliers of basement (2.03 Ga) crop out to northeastern part of this area, and are formed by metavolcano-sedimentary sequence (Cauarane Group) and TTG-like calc-alkaline association (Anauá Complex). Xenoliths of meta-diorites (Anauá Complex) and paragneisses (Cauarane Group) reinforce the intrusive character of Martins Pereira Granite. On the other hand, xenoliths of Martins Pereira and biotitebearing enclaves are founded in the younger, undeformed, and SiO2-rich Igarapé Azul Granite (1.89 Ga). This last and the high-K calc-alkaline Caroebe Granite (1.90-1.89 Ga, Água Branca Suite), including coeval volcanic rocks (1.89 Ga, Jatapu volcanics) and charnockitoids (1.89 Ga, e.g. Santa Maria Enderbite), crop out in the southern UAD. This subdomain is characterized only by local and slight NE-SW ductile-brittle dextral shear zones. A-type granites such as Moderna (ca. 1.81 Ga) and Mapuera (ca. 1.87 Ga) granites, cross cut both areas of UAD. Furthermore, the geological mapping also identified three main types of metalotects in this region. Gold mineralization is observed in Martins Pereira-Serra Dourada granitoids (northern UAD), alluvial columbite-tantalite is related to Igarapé Azul granitoids (southern UAD), and amethyst is associated to pegmatites from Moderna A-type granites. The Nd-Pb isotope data suggest that all granitoids of UAD are generated by reworking of older and pre-existence crustal sources (sialic Rhyacian-Archean and/or juvenile Transamazonian origin) and mantle input is not problably a viable model. Although the dominant process may be one subduction in the early stage of NUAD evolution, post-colisional magmatism may be a significant process in the production of new continental crust in the southern UAD. It is possible that, following oceanic closure in the Anauá arc system (2.03 Ga) and subsequent collisional orogeny (1.97-1.94 Ga?), underplated mantle melts (basalt liquids) were trapped below preexisting lower crustal rocks of various compositions (e.g. granulites, metatonalites, amphibolites). The basalt liquids and subsequently melted lower crust could produced the immense volumes of granite (and volcanics) observed at 1.90-1.87 Ga. This geological picture is similar to the Tapajós Domain (TD) in the southern Amazonian Craton and suggest that both belongs to the same province (Ventuari-Tapajós or Tapajós-Parima). Nevertheless, the scarcity of S-type granites and high-grade metamorphic rocks show that the collisional stage is not so evident in TD.

Evolução geológica pré-cambriana e aspectos da metalogênese do ouro do cráton São Luís e do Cinturão Gurupi, NE-Pará/ NW-Maranhão, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2004-07-06) KLEIN, Evandro Luiz; GIRET, André; HARRIS, Christopher; MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1035254156384979
In the Gurupi region, located at the border between the Pará and Maranhão states in northern Brazil, igneous and metamorphic rocks crop out as part of the Parnaíba Structural Province. Early geochronological studies, based on the Rb-Sr and K-Ar methods have shown two geochronological domains. The rocks that crop out towards the Atlantic margin showed a Paleoproterozoic signature, around 2000 Ma, whereas the rocks that crop out towards the inner portions of the continent showed a Neoproterozoic signature, especially between 800 and 500 Ma. These domains have been then defined as the São Luís Craton and Gurupi Belt, respectively. Several lithostratigraphic propositions have been developed throughout more than two decades. However, these propositions always lack robust geochronological support. Geotectonic models discussed a one- or two-phase evolution for the Gurupi Belt, also lacking robust geochronological and isotopic data to consubstantiate the interpretations. Furthermore, among the several gold deposits that occur in both the cratonic and belt areas, only a few have geological and genetic information. These subjects are addressed in more or less depth by this thesis. New propositions for the regional lithostratigraphy and geological evolution have been achieved in this work by revaluating the available geological, geochemical, geochronological and isotopic dataset, as well as by adding new geochronological data on zircon (Pb-evaporation, U-Pb ID-TIMS, and LAM-ICP-MS) for most of the igneous and orthometamorphic rocks in the region. Whole rock Nd isotope data have also been obtained, allowing the discussion of crustal accretion and reworking. The results show a rather complex geological evolution with intensive and extensive crustal growth between 2.24-2.15 Ga and crustal reworking, involving melting, migmatization, metamorphism, and deformation around 2.10 Ga. The following results have been obtained for the São Luís Craton: Aurizona Group, metavolcano-sedimentary sequence, maximum age of 2241 Ma (juvenile) that possibly evolved until c.a. 2200 Ma; Tromaí Intrusive Suite, calc-alkaline, metaluminous tonalites of oceanic island arc, 2168 Ma (juvenile); Areal Granite, calc-alkaline, weakly peraluminous, 2150 Ma (mixing of juvenile and arc materials). In the Gurupi Belt, the following results have been obtained: Igarapé Grande Metatonalite, small and localized granoblastic tonalite, 2594 Ma; Itapeva Complex, weakly migmatized tonalitic orthogneiss, 2167 Ma (mostly juvenile); Chega Tudo Formation, metavolcano-sedimentary sequence (back-arc basin?), 2150-2160 Ma; Maria Suprema Granite, syntectonic, peraluminous muscovite-bearing granite, 2100 Ma (similar to other peraluminous granitoids in the Gurupi Belt). The Gurupi Group is tentatively placed in the Paleoproterozoic (>2160 Ma), but this must still be proved. The above data are interpreted on a plate tectonics basis, as follows. An oceanic basin is open at ca. 2260 Ma and is followed by the onset of subduction, formation of island arcs and voluminous calc-alkaline magmatism in oceanic settings, and concomitant reworking of the arcs between 2170-2150 Ma. This set of oceanic terranes has been accreted (soft-collision) onto an Archean continental margin to southwest (Archean part of the Amazonian Craton or a present day concealed cratonic nuclei). The collision provoked the metamorphism, deformation, and partial melting of the newly formed Paleoproterozoic crust and of part of the Archean bloc, or their erosive detritus, migmatization, and emplacement of peraluminous granitoids at 2100-2080 Ma. The region has been the locus of a second event in the Neoproterozoic. A continental rift developed in the bloc that was assembled in the Paleoproterozoic, as attested by the intrusion of a nepheline syenite (Boca Nova) at 732 Ma. Sedimentary rocks that filled this rift (Marajupema Formation) have detrital zircon crystals that show the youngest ages around 1100 Ma. The rift evolved probably to an oceanic basin, as suggested by the widespread occurrence of detrital zircons with ages around 550 Ma in small sedimentary basins that have been filled with immature sediments. The precise time of orogenesis climax that followed basin closure, with mass transport from SSW to NNE and accompanying metamorphism, is not yet constrained. Equivocal geochronological information point to 650-520 Ma (zircon of the nepheline syenite, Rb-Sr and KAr ages in minerals). The metallogeny of selected gold deposits occurring in both the São Luís Craton and the Gurupi Belt is addressed using varied information, such as geology, chlorite chemistry, fluid inclusion geochemistry, and stable (O, H, C, S) and radiogenic (Pb) isotopes. Structural and textural relationships, and Pb isotope data indicate a post metamorphic peak and late- to posttectonic timing for the gold mineralization with respect to the Paleoproterozoic events (post 2080 Ma). At a regional scale, the deposits show a similar signature characterized by formation temperatures between 280° and 380°C; pressures of 2-3 kbars; low-salinity (5 mass % NaCl equiv), reduced and moderately dense aqueous-carbonic (CO2 <20 mol%, traces of CH4 and N2), showing strong evidence for phase separation. Stable isotope studies suggest distinct sources for fluids and solutes. The carbonate, graphite, and fluid inclusion carbon comes from two sources: a depleted organic source, and an unknown source that may be magmatic, metamorphic or mantlederived (or both). Sulfide sulfur derived directly from magmas or from the dissolution of magmatic sulfides. Combined oxygen and hydrogen isotopes attest a metamorphic source for the fluids. Therefore, dehydration and decarbonization reactions during the metamorphism of the Paleoproterozoic metavolcano-sedimentary sequences appear to have produced the mineralizing fluids. Gold was transported as a reduced sulfur complex, such as the Au(HS)2 - and precipitated in response to the breakdown of this complex due to phase separation and fluid-rock interactions. The geological and genetic constraints are consistent with the orogenic gold model, found in metamorphic belts of all ages. As a whole the results of this study have implications for the understanding of the Paleoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic orogenies that built up the South American Platform and for the assembly and break-up of the Atlantica, Rodinia, and West-Gondwana supercontinents. The geological scenario outlined here for the Paleoproterozoic shows good correlations with those found especially in the southeastern Guyana Shield and in the southern portion of the West- African Craton. For the Neoproterozoic, the available information is still insufficient to draw major correlations.

Geologia, geocronologia e litoquímica dos granitos paleoproterozóicos do tipo A no setor setentrional da Província Tocantins
(2008-06) CHAVES, César Lisboa; GORAYEB, Paulo Sérgio de Sousa; MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso
This work presents the geologic characterization of the Ipueiras Intrusive Suite, which comprises four granitic plutons, named do Carmo, Areias, Ipueiras and Itália, located in Goiás Massif, northern sector of the Tocantins Province. New petrographic, litogeochemical, geocronological and isotopic data had allowed to discriminate these plutons of other granites of the region. Lithochemical data showed that they are peraluminous subalkaline granites, with A-type affinity. Single zircon Pb-evaporation data indicate an age of 2,08 Ga for this magmatism. Sm-Nd (TDM) ages between 2,15 and 2,19 Ga, and positive εNd(2,08 Ga) values (+2,5 to +2,9) for the Areias and Ipueiras granites suggest an origin involving juvenile mantle components. This granitogenesis may be related to the last magmatic pulses of the Transamazonian thermotectonic event, well defined in the region.

Geologia, Petrografia e Geoquímica do Batólito Seringa, Província Carajás, SSE do Pará
(2011-06) PAIVA JÚNIOR, Antônio Lima de; LAMARÃO, Cláudio Nery; LIMA, Paulo Henrique Araújo
The Seringa Granite, with 2250 km2 of outcropping area represents the biggest granite batholith of the Carajás Province. It is intrusive in Archean units of the Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone Terrane, located in the southeastern of the Amazonian Craton. The Seringa Granite is formed by two great petrographic groups: A) monzogranite rocks, represented by biotite-amphibole coarse-grained monzogranite, amphibolebiotite coarse-grained monzogranite; B) syenogranite rocks, represented by, porphyry amphibole-biotite syenogranite, heterogranular leuco-syenogranite, leuco-microsyenogranite, and heterogranular amphibolebiotite syenogranite. Biotite and amphibole are the varietal minerals and zircon, apatite, opaque, and allanite the accessories minerals. The Seringa Granite is subalkaline, metaluminous to peraluminous, display K2O/ Na2O ratios between 1 and 2 and FeOt/(FeOt +MgO) between 0.86 and 0.97. The patterns of REE show increase in negative europium anomalies from the less evolved facies to the more evolved facies. In these sense, it is enriched in light REE parallel to the impoverishment of heavy REE. It shows geochemical affinities with within-plate ferroan granites, of the A2-subtype and oxidized A-type granites. The field relations and the petrographic and geochemical features of the Seringa Granite are not consistent with the evolution of its facies from a single magma pulse by fractional crystallization. The Seringa Granite show petrographic, geochemical and magnetic susceptibility properties that suggest its inclusion in the Serra dos Carajás Suite.

The São João granite (SJG) is an anorogenic batholith of circular form, with an area of approximately 160 km2, which cuts Archean units of the Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone Terrain, southeastern Amazonian Craton. It consists of four distinct petrographic facies: biotite-amphibole monzogranite (BAMG), biotite-amphibole syenogranite (BASG), amphibole-biotite monzogranite to syenogranite (ABMSG) and biotite monzogranite to syenogranite (BMSG). The SJG has a metaluminous to weakly peraluminous nature, FeOt/(FeOt+MgO) ratios varying from 0.94 to 0.99 and K2O/Na2O from 1 to 2, shows geochemical affinities with the intraplate granites, A-type granites of A2 subtype and ferrous granites, suggesting a crustal source for its origin. The SJG has higher contents of LREE compared to HREE and a sub-horizontal pattern for the latter. The negative anomalies of Eu rising from less evolved towards more evolved rocks (BAMG → BASG→ ABMSG→ BMSG). Magnetic susceptibility data (MS) allowed the identification of six populations with different magnetic characteristics, where the highest values of MS relate to the less evolved facies and the lowest to the more evolved facies. The comparison between SJG and the granite suites of the Carajás Province shows that it displays strong geological, petrographic, geochemical and MS similarities with the granites of the Serra dos Carajás suite, and may be preliminarily included in the same.

Granito Serra da Queimada, Suíte Intrusiva Velho Guilherme, Província Carajás: tipologia, aspectos petrológicos e afinidades metalogenéticas.

The Serra da Queimada Granite (GSQ) is a subcircular paleoproterozoic anorogenic batholith, approximately 20 km2 in area, located north of the city of São Félix do Xingu, in the Carajás Province, southeast of the Amazonian Craton. It splits archean units of the São Félix Group and paleoproterozoic groups of the Iriri Group, Uatumã Supergroup. It is formed by three distinct petrographic facies: syenogranite biotite (BSG), monzogranite biotite (BMG) and porphyritic syenogranite (SGP), all with graphics content<10%. The frequent occurrence of spherulitic and granopyric intergrowths suggests that GSQ rocks crystallized at shallow crustal levels. Electron probe analysis showed that GSQ biotites are predominantly magmatic, ferrous and Al-enriched. Total rock geochemical analyzes showed that GSQ is peraluminous to weakly metaluminous, FeOt/(FeOt +MgO) ratios between 0.75 and 0.99 and K2O/Na2O between 0.6 and 2.3; shows geochemical affinities with intra-plate A type granites, of subtype A2, and ferrous granites, suggesting a crustal source for their origin. It has higher light rare earth element contents than heavy rare earth elements, with a sub-horizontal pattern for the latter, as well as increasing negative Eu anomalies towards the more evolved BSG facies. The geochemical data show that BSG have higher average K2O, Y, Rb, W and Sn content and lower TiO2, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, Ba and Sr than other facies, typical characteristics of specialized granites. Crystallization temperatures based on the Zr saturation geothermometer indicated ranges between 754 °C and 870 °C, similar to other anorogenic granites in the Carajás Province. Comparative geological, petrographic, mineral chemistry and geochemical studies between the GSQ and other specialized granites belonging to the Velho Guilherme Intrusive Suite indicate that sienogranitic rocks of the GSQ show potential for mineralization in W and Sn and that it can be framed in the geological context of this important granite suite.

Granitóides proterozóicos como marcadores da evolução geotectônica da região nordeste do Pará, Brasil
(2009-12) PALHETA, Edney Smith de Moraes; ABREU, Francisco de Assis Matos de; MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso
Granitoids cropping out inside Phanerozoic sedimentary cover in northeast Pará, Brazil (Gurupi region), records the geotectonic evolution of this region. 207Pb/206Pb single zircon evaporation ages were obtained for different granitoid bodies of the region, besides Sm-Nd isotopic studies. Almost all the plutons are genetically related with regional geological processes operative during this crustal segment formation, which includes the São Luís Craton. Such processes are associated with amalgamation of island arcs and Archean nuclei during the Palaeoproterozoic (2.15 to 2,07 Ga). The reworking of the southwestern margin of the São Luís Craton at the end of the Neoproterozoic formed the Gurupi Belt and is recorded by the occurrence of a granitic pluton of 549 ± 4 Ma.

Petrogênese dos granitos Manda Saia e Marajoara: contribuições para a definição da natureza do magmatismo paleoproterozóico da Província Carajás.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-12-13) SANTOS, Rodrigo Fabiano Silva; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7976-0472
The Marajoara (MJG) and Manda Saia (MSG) granites are located in southeastern Pará State, Brazil, and represent circular intrusions with stock dimensions embedded in Mesoarchean rocks of the Rio Maria Domain, in the central-southern portion of the Carajás Province. These rocks outcrop as extensive pavements, exhibiting no solid-state deformation features (isotropic aspect) and frequently containing angular enclaves of the surrounding host rocks. The MJG comprises equigranular biotite monzogranite (eBMzG) and heterogranular (hBMzG) varieties, as well as porphyritic (pME) and microgranular enclaves (ME) restricted to the hBMzG facies. Quartz content and plagioclase/microcline ratios vary significantly, allowing these rocks to be classified from syenogranitic to monzogranitic, and even granodioritic in the case of microgranular enclaves. They are peraluminous granites, similar to ferroan granites with high K2O+Na2O/CaO and FeOt/(FeOt+MgO) ratios, enriched in Rb, Zr, Y, Nb, F, and heavy REEs, with more evolved facies displaying low Sr and Ba contents. In REE patterns, negative Eu anomalies are prominent, and heavy REEs show a gradual increase with magmatic differentiation. These granites fall within the intraplate granite field and exhibit geochemical affinities with A-type granites. Their FeOt/(FeOt+MgO) ratios align with typical oxidized (hBMzG and pME) and reduced (eBMzG) A-type granites, while the MSG displays a moderately reduced character. The ME, however, show affinity with magnesian and calcalkaline series granites. According to biotite mineral chemistry, MSG and the hBMzG facies of MJG fall within the magnetite series field, while eBMzG rocks are similar to ilmenite series rocks. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb analyses provide crystallization ages of 1884 ± 11 Ma for MJG and 1866 ± 10 Ma for MSG (LA–SF–ICP–MS). Lu–Hf isotopic data indicate ƐHf(t) between - 11 and -18 and Hf-TDMC from 3.2 to 3.6 Ga for MJG; and ƐHf(t) between -13 and -19 and Hf-TDMC from 3.3 to 3.6 Ga for MSG. The compositional gaps among the various MJG varieties suggest that their magmas are not cogenetic. Geochemical modeling suggests that MJG and MSG were generated by partial melting of tonalitic rocks, with occasional metasedimentary contributions, at a melting rate ranging from 16 to 18%, with a residual assemblage of plagioclase, quartz, biotite, magnetite, and ilmenite. Felsic and mafic magma mixing played an important role in the emplacement. The enclaves represent enriched lithospheric mantle-derived magmatism injected into the magma chamber during the subduction process, interacting to varying degrees with the magma forming the Marajoara granite. This hypothesis may be reinforced by the occurrence of a 1.88 Ga diabase-porphyritic granite composite dyke in the Rio Maria region. The proposed model suggests that the granitic magma initially formed a magma chamber, followed by repeated mafic magma injections, resulting in small-scale convection. Subsequently, large volumes of hot mafic magma entered the chamber, leading to mixing processes. Microgranular and porphyritic enclaves were formed due to magma mixing in areas where there were temperature contrasts between felsic and mafic magmas. The results presented in this study highlight the importance of the Archean crust in the origin of Paleoproterozoic granites, which were emplaced in shallow crustal levels through a dyke feeder system as a result of extensional tectonics.

Química mineral e parâmetros de cristalização do Granito tipo A Paleoproterozoico Bannach, Província Carajás, Pará

The A-type Paleoproterozoic Bannach granite belongs to the Jamon Suíte and cross-cut the Archean units of the Rio Maria Domain in the Carajás Province of the Amazon Craton. It comprises eight facies with varied mafic content.and texture. The dominant amphibole is Fe-hornblende in the more mafic facies and Fe-edenite or hastingsite in the more felsic ones with Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios of 0.53 to 0.81. In the facies with higher mafic content, it also occurs cummingtonite or grunerite originated from the destabilization of clinopyroxene, with Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio around 0.50. The biotite is ferroan with Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio varying between 0.62 and 0.80 except in the late-emplaced medium-grained leucomonzogranites, where it varies from 0.89 to 0.91 and approaches annite in composition. The plagioclase shows normal zoning with sodic andesine or calcic oligoclase cores varying to sodic oligoclase in the more mafic facies and calcic or sodic oligoclase cores and albite borders in the more felsic varieties. The titanite displays Fe/Al ratios similar to those of plutonic magmatic rocks with quartz. Magnetite and ilmenite are significant accessory minerals in all facies. Trellis, composite, individual and patch textural varieties of ilmenite were identified, whereas magnetite occurs in intergrowths with trellis ilmenite, associated with composite ilmenite and in homogeneous crystals associated with cummingtonite-grunerite. There is no significant contrast in composition in the textural varieties of ilmenite, however the ilmenites found in the more felsic granites are enriched in MnO compared to the less evolved ones. The magnetite is always poor in TiO2 and almost Ti-free in the homogeneous crystals. The near liquidus temperatures obtained from the zircon geothermometer vary between 943°C and 795°C, whereas the near solidus temperatures indicated by the amphibole-plagioclase geothermometer are of 807°C to 732 °C, decreasing in both cases from the more mafic to the more felsic granites. The Al-in geobarometer indicated pressures of 300±100 MPa (~11.1±1,9 km) for the emplacement of the Bannach pluton. The Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios of amphibole and the occurrence of magmatic magnetite and titanite indicate that most granite facies crystallized at moderately oxidizing conditions, however, the biotite compositions indicate for conditions a little more reductive to those of the Jamon magma and the anorogenic granites of the series magnetite of Laurentia. Based on this, it was inferred that the crystallization of the dominant facies in the Bannach Granite occurred under conditions of oxygen fugacity corresponding to those of NNO to NNO -0.5. The late-emplaced medium-grained leucomonzogranites facies is an exception because it displays extremely high Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios in biotite and approaches the reduced granites of Carajás Province and the ilmenite series granites of Laurentia and Fennoscandia in this regard. This indicates that it crystallized from a magma derived from a more reduced source compared to that of the dominant facies of the Bannach pluton.

The Gurupi region in northern Brazil has been divided into Paleoproterozoic (São Luís Craton) and Neoproterozoic (Gurupi Belt) geochronological domains based on Rb-Sr and K-Ar. Recent zircon (Pb evaporation) dating of most of the lithostratigraphic and lithodemic units, in addition to limited whole-rock Sm-Nd determinations, shows virtually all rock units (juvenile or reworked) formed between ~2.0 Ga and 2.2 Ga. A single granitoid shows a Neoproterozoic crystallization age (~0,55 Ga), and the Archean has been recorded only in inherited zircons and in protolith Sm-Nd model ages. The compositional, metamorphic, structural, geophysical and geochronological characteristics of the geological units supports the previous subdivision into two domains. However, they also reveal a common Paleoproterozoic evolution of both the Gurupi and São Luís domains. The Gurupi domain is characterized as a collisional orogen, whereas the São Luís domain shows accretionary characteristics, with both participating in the widespread Paleoproterozoic collage at 2.2 - 2.0 Ga. During the Neoproterozoic, the southern border of this region was affected by strong strike-slip shearing and very limited lithogenesis, reflecting the Brasiliano orogenic collage elsewhere and defining the presently observed relationship between the São Luís Craton and the Gurupi Belt.
