Item Andean fingerprint on placer sands from the southern Brazilian coast.(2022) Rizzi, Monique Aparecida Marchese; Dillenburg, Sérgio Rebello; Takehara, Lucy; Girelli, Tiago Jonatan; Wust, Cássia Fatima; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Chemale Júnior, FaridOn the passive margin of southern Brazil, where the availability of sediments and coastal system conditions were adequate for forming a Ti–Zr-bearing placer in the Holocene, could there be a source of detrital contribution other than the Precambrian South American cratons? To answer that, detrital zircon U–Pb–Hf analyses were performed using the LA-ICP-MS method. The U–Pb age pattern distribution of 866 zircon grains showed that 35.3% of the grains belong to the Neoproterozoic, which covers the Brasiliano orogenic belts. However, 9.1% of the total zircons analyzed (up to 12% in some samples) correspond to grains younger than 50 Ma, restricted to the Andean orogeny in southern South America. The Hf signature of the zircons stands out by pointing to five significant and distinct groups interpreted as coming from the Andean (0–50 Ma), Gondwanides (230–380 Ma), Famatinian (380–500 Ma), Brasiliano (850–541 Ma), and Grenville (900–1300 Ma) orogens, confirming an Andean fingerprint as source rocks in addition to the sediments originating from the craton. This Andean source is related to the distal sediment contribution from the La Plata River system and Argentina rivers that discharge in the Atlantic Coast. Based on a statistical and Hf isotope approach, we defined that around 50% of the zircons grains were transported from the Argentina coast and La Plata River by the littoral drift for more than 1000 km to their final sink in the southern Brazilian coast.Item Post-glacial permian debris flow deposits and their paleoclimatic implications (Mariana Pimentel paleovalley, southern Paraná Basin).(2020) Coitinho, Júlia dos Reis; Kern, Henrique Parisi; Cagliari, Joice; Lavina, Ernesto Luiz Correa; Girelli, Tiago Jonatan; Tedesco, Julia; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Silveira, Ariane Santos daThe end of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age was followed by a global warming climate. This climate transition is characterized by, beyond other aspects, a decrease in the intensity of physical weathering, characteristic of arid conditions, and an increase in the intensity of chemical weathering. In the southern Parana ´ Basin, the post-glacial onset and intense record of “Pedra-Areia” diamictite within the Mariana Pimentel paleovalley was likely controlled by warming climate conditions and mark a period of intense rainfall and slope instability. To test this hypothesis, we have performed facies and sequence stratigraphy analysis on cores located within the Mariana Pimentel paleovalley, and U–Pb-Hf investigations to acquire sediment provenance information. Diamictite deposits were produced by debris flow processes, which transported regolith from the valley wall to the bottom, eroding and incorporating mud and peat when reaching the bottom of the valley. The local source of sediment is explained by the sedimentological characteristics of the diamictite and zircon provenance studies. These deposits are preserved within the transgressive system tract and the abundant deposition was controlled by increasing temperature and humidity, and thus the increase in chemical weathering on the walls, forming the regolith. The development of more humid and warmer climatic conditions, contrasting with the cold and dry climate of the glacial period, was an important control over diamictite deposition.Item Provenance and paleogeography of the Southern Paraná Basin : geochemistry and U\\Pb zircon geochronology of the Carboniferous-Permian transition.(2019) Tedesco, Julia; Cagliari, Joice; Chemale Júnior, Farid; Girelli, Tiago Jonatan; Lana, Cristiano de CarvalhoThe Carboniferous-Permian transition of the intracratonic Paraná Basin (S Brazil) includes important evidence of the climate change, tectonics, and paleogeographic configuration of SW Gondwana. During this period, the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) was in its final phase in the Paraná Basin, producing a temperate-tropical climate through the transition to the Permian. UPb laser ablation ICP-MS detrital zircon dates and whole-rock geochemistry of rocks from the upper Itararé Group (Carboniferous) and the lowermost Rio Bonito Formation (Early Permian) in the southern Paraná Basin are determined to characterize the sedimentary-dispersal patterns of the source area and glacial paleoflow. Geochemistry proxies suggest that the studied units experienced different degrees of weathering, with the Itararé Group's units forming in an arid environment. The overlying Rio Bonito Formation's units were deposited under hotter and more humid climate conditions. The Late Carboniferous to Early Permian units showed similar zircon-age distribution patterns, with a Neoproterozoic main peak from the Uruguayan Sul-Riograndese Shield. A lack of Mesoproterozoic sources in the studied samples indicates that this area of the Paraná Basin probably did not receive sediments from the African side during the Late Carboniferous as previously described. This result suggests a more complex system in which ice caps and small ice sheets dominated the glacial environment during the Late Carboniferous in this segment of SW Gondwana.Item Granulite accretion to Rio de la Plata Craton, based on zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes : tectonic implications for Columbia Supercontinent reconstruction.(2018) Girelli, Tiago Jonatan; Chemale Júnior, Farid; Lavina, Ernesto Luiz Correa; Laux, Jorge Henrique; Bongiolo, Everton Marques; Lana, Cristiano de CarvalhoThe paleogeographic reconstruction of the Rio de la Plata involved either allocthonous or autochthonous process reflecting directly the Paleoproterozoic connection of the craton to Columbia Supercontinent. Santa Maria Chico Granulite Complex is a significant fragment of Rio de la Plata intensely affected by the Brasiliano Orogeny. Zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes by LA-ICP-MS, mineral and whole-rock chemistry and a pseudo-section are presently interpreted. U-Pb-Hf isotopes characterize two main accretionary and metamorphic events: oceanic juvenile crustal accretion (i) 2430–2290 Ma (εHf(t) = −3.17 to +7.00), with arc related metamorphism (830–870 °C, 6.7–7.2 kbar) at ~2.3 Ga; and continental arc accretion (ii) 2240–2120 Ma (εHf(t) = −4 to +2.4), with continental collision metamorphism (770–790 °C, 8.7–9.1 kbar) at 2.1–2.0 Ga. Alkaline granitic dikes related to crustal extension at 1.8 Ga cut the granulitic rocks after the stabilization of this crustal segment. The present data point to formation of Paleoproterozoic granulitic rocks of the Santa Maria Chico Granulite Complex and adjacent Nico Pérez and Rivera terranes in multi-stage volcanic arcs to continental collision environment over 370 Ma (2430 to 2060 Ma). These terranes were amalgamated in the Paleoproterozoic to the core of the Rio de la Plata Craton as part of Columbia Supercontinent and intensely reworked during the amalgamation of Western Gondwana in the Neoproterozoic.
