Item Petrogenetic processes at the tipping point of plate tectonics : Hf-O isotope ternary modelling of Earth’s last TTG to sanukitoid transition.(2020) Moreira, Hugo Souza; Storey, Craig Darryl; Fowler, Mike; Seixas, Luís Antônio Rosa; Dunlop, JosephModern style plate tectonics is characterized by one-sided subduction and continental margin basaltandesite-dacite-rhyolite (BADR) magmatism, whereas continental magmatic rocks in the Archaean record had tonalite-trondjhemite-granodiorite (TTG) composition. Their main difference is the absence (in the modern style) and the presence (in the ancient style) of abundant juvenile, basalt-derived felsic magmatism. The diversity of modern continental magmas depends partly on metasomatic processes in the mantle wedge providing sediment input (melt/fluid). Contrasting scenarios in the rock record therefore are the presence or absence of (1) basalt-derived melt (TTG) and (2) sedimentary input to the magmas. A late, “Archaean-style” tectonic regime is recorded in the Palaeoproterozoic Mineiro Belt (Brazil) using whole-rock geochemistry of its plutons coupled to zircon Hf and O isotopes from these rocks and from detrital grains from the local (meta)sediments. Increasing δ18O with decreasing εHf(t) values in zircon indicate oceanic crust recycling and input of sediments to the mantle wedge during the Palaeoproterozoic. Since some form of early subduction including the formation of a mantle wedge has occurred since the Mesoarchaean, it seems that the onset of subduction and the final establishment of modern plate tectonics at the global scale are temporally distinct. The latter did not occur until the Palaeoproterozoic. Prior to this time (“ante-plate tectonics”), punctuated subcretion/subduction marks a gestational stage that took c. 800 Myr to transition diachronously to a truly global mechanism. The TTGsanukitoid transition, which signals the opening of a mantle wedge, occurred in the Mineiro Belt during the early Proterozoic “magmatic lull” and thus represents the last gasp of the ante-plate tectonics regime.Item Evolution of Siderian juvenile crust to Rhyacian high Ba-Sr magmatism in the Mineiro Belt, southern São Francisco Craton.(2018) Moreira, Hugo Souza; Seixas, Luís Antônio Rosa; Storey, Craig Darryl; Fowler, Mike; Lasalle, Stephanie; Stevenson, Ross; Lana, Cristiano de CarvalhoPlutonic rocks from the Mineiro Belt, Brazil record a delayed onset of the transition from TTG to sanukitoid-type magmatism (high Ba-Sr), starting during the Siderian magmatic lull when little juvenile magma was added to the continental crust. Rocks mostly belong to the calc-alkaline series, meta- to peraluminous and originally “I-type”, meaning that oxidized magmas were formed by partial melting of subducted material. The temporal distribution and apparent secular changes of the magmas are consistent with the onset of subduction-driven plate tectonics due to an increase of the subduction angle and opening of the mantle wedge. New isotopic analyses (Sm-Nd whole rock and Lu-Hf in zircon) corroborate the restricted juvenile nature of the Mineiro Belt and confirm the genetic link between the Lagoa Dourada Suite, a rare ca. 2350 Ma high-Al tonalite-trondhjemite magmatic event, and the sanukitoid-type ca. 2130 Ma Alto Maranhão Suite. U-Pb dating of zircon and titanite constrain the crystallisation history of plutonic bodies; coupled with major and trace element analyses of the host rocks, they distinguish evolutionary trends in the Mineiro Belt. Several plutons in the region have ages close to 2130 Ma but are distinguished by the lower concentration of compatible elements in the juvenile high Ba-Sr suite.
