Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/7656The 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.Acesso AbertoGeologiaGeologia estratigráficaGeologia estruturalGeotectônicaEvolução crustalCinturão de cisalhamentoColisão continentalPetrologiaTerra (Planeta)Goiás, Centro-oesteTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEOLOGIA::GEOTECTONICA
