    (2021) Marques, Rodson de Abreu; Duarte, Beatriz Paschoal; Tupinambá, Miguel Antônio; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Ferreira, Sandro Lúcio Mauri
    Rochas de idade neoproterozoica- cambriana do Terreno Oriental e do Superterreno Central da Faixa Ribeira ocorrem no noroeste do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Este trabalho insere na literatura novos dados de campo, petrologia, química mineral e de geotermobarometria convencional, fundamentais ao entendimento da geologia da região. As rochas metabásicas do Domínio Cambuci, associadas à bacia de retroarco do Superterreno Central, registram dois eventos metamórficos: M0 (anterior à formação da foliação principal, sob condições de 788 °C) e M1 (contemporânea à foliação principal, com pico em 718-752 oC e 6.62 kbar). As rochas do Domínio Costeiro, interpretadas como representantes do arco Rio Doce (Suíte Angelim) e da bacia de retroarco (Grupo São Fidélis) do Terreno Oriental, registram pico metamórfico em facies granulito e os valores de pressão e temperatura obtidos (752-784 oC e 8.2-9.0 kbar) foram os mais elevados dentre os domínios estudados. Para o Domínio Italva, representante da bacia de retroarco do Terreno Oriental, os valores de temperatura e pressão obtidos para o pico metamórfico foram 731 oC e 6.78 kbar, com pico metamórfico na zona de transição entre as condições de fácies anfibolito superior e granulito. Este trabalho apresenta a mais nova abordagem da evolução metamórfica no Terreno Oriental da Faixa Ribeira, sugerindo um caminho P-T-t no sentido anti-horário para as rochas dos domínios Cambuci. Portanto, esse resultado contribui para a compreensão da evolução dos cinturões de orogenicos durante a amalgamados no Gondwana durante o Neoproterozoico.

    O efeito do microfissuramento no desenvolvimento de patologias em rochas ornamentais : o exemplo dos granitos Branco Viena e Branco Itaúnas.
    (2019) Calegari, Salomão Silva; Soares, Caroline Cibele Vieira; Hartwig, Marcos Eduardo; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Marques, Rodson de Abreu; Pontello, Mariana
    O objetivo do presente estudo foi o de investigar as causas das patologias (pequenos pontos acastanhados) que surgem nos granitos Branco Viena e Branco Itaúnas durante ou logo após o seu desdobramento em chapas, o que afeta a sua comercialização. Para tanto, estes materiais foram analisados quanto a suas propriedades físicas, químicas e mineralógicas. Os resultados revelaram diferenças marcantes na densidade, abertura e padrão de distribuição de microfissuras entre os dois materiais, bem como na porosidade aparente, absorção d’água e velocidade de propagação de ondas ultrassônicas. Os dados revelaram que as patologias são causadas pelo microfissuramento dos materiais, sendo este efeito mais pronunciado no granito Branco Itaúnas. Os pontos acastanhados (óxido de Fe) são o produto da alteração química (acelerada) de cristais de granada (Almandina)

    (2019) Marques, Rodson de Abreu; Mattos, Livia Costa Novello de; Marangon, Guilherme Rodrigues; Melo, Marilane Gonzaga de; Ferreira, Sandro Lúcio Mauri; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Velasco, Tamires Costa; Licursi, Ernesto Adler; Bottacin, Cícero Dias
    A região de São João do Paraíso (noroeste do Rio de Janeiro) representa um importante pólo gerador de rochas ornamentais e de revestimento. Atualmente, são escassos os trabalhos que retratam as feições de campo, aspectos petrológicos e recursos minerais desta região. O objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar os aspectos geológicos e recursos minerais baseados no levantamento de campo realizado e análises minerais por meio de estereomicroscópio, microscópio e refratômetro. Na região afloram granitoides diatexíticos leucocráticos (com composição de plagioclásio, quartzo, K-feldspato, granada e biotita), mármores de composição calcítica, paragnaisses de composições variadas, além de inúmeros corpos pegmatíticos. Tais litotipos apresentam grande potencial para o uso como rochas ornamentais e, no caso dos pegmatitos, como fonte de minerais gema, especialmente de berilo em sua variedade água marinha, e de turmalina negra (shorlita).

    Two generations of mafic dyke swarms in the Southeastern Brazilian coast : reactivation of structural lineaments during the gravitational collapse of the Araçuaí-Ribeira Orogen (500 Ma) and West Gondwana breakup (140 Ma).
    (2020) Mendes, Raíssa Santiago; Caxito, Fabrício de Andrade; Neves, Mirna Aparecida; Dantas, Elton Luiz; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento
    Mafic dyke swarms emplaced in regional NW-SE trending structures crosscutting the Precambrian basement in the Southeastern Brazilian coast are commonly interpreted as associated to West Gondwana breakup. Recently, however, U-Pb dating suggested that at least some of those dykes were emplaced earlier, at ca. 500–490 Ma, during the gravitational collapse of the Araçuaí Orogen. In order to clarify this issue, we studied dykes from the southern Espírito Santo State. Our results indicate that dykes emplaced in the same regional lineaments can be separated into two distinct groups, according to petrographic, geochemical, isotopic and geochronological characteristics. Group 1 is tholeiitic, with 87Sr/86Sr(i) of 0.7041–0.7065, εNd(t) of −3.4 to −5.5 and TDM ages between 0.8 and 1.5 Ga. Zircon crystals from a dyke of this group yielded the first robust lower Cretaceous U-Pb age for mafic dykes of SE Brazil with a Concordia age of 141.9 ± 1.9 Ma and εHf(t) in a range of −5.5 to −7.9. Group 2 is alkaline, shows higher 87Sr/86Sr(i) of 0.7064–0.7088, evolved εNd(t) < −12 and older TDM ages of 1.7–1.9 Ga. The youngest zircon crystals from a dyke of this group yielded a Concordia age of 504.7 ± 6.9 Ma and εHf(t) of −18.9. Our results suggest that the regional NW-SE trending lineaments of the Brazilian coast were active in at least three episodes, serving as conduits for mafic magmatism of distinct sources and tectonic settings: First, in the Cambrian, during the Araçuaí-Ribeira Orogen collapse, when they served as conduits for both the post-tectonic G5 Supersuite (530–490 Ma; composed of granitic and mafic plutons) and the alkaline dykes of Group 2; second, during the lower Cretaceous breakup of West Gondwana, when they served as conduits for the tholeiitic dykes of Group 1, synchronous to syn-rift evolution of the Phanerozoic Brazilian coast basins; and third, during the Cenozoic, when they were reactivated as normal brittle faults.

    Pseudosection modeling and U-Pb geochronology on Piranga schists : role of Brasiliano Orogeny in the Southeastern Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
    (2019) Queiroz, Yanne da Silva; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Moraes, Renato de; Fernandes, Victor Matheus Tavares; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Schulz, Bernhard; Schmiedel, Julia; Martins, Maximiliano de Souza; Castro, Marco Paulo de; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho
    In the Southeastern Quadrilátero Ferrífero, a package of metapelitic rocks previously attributed to the Archean Rio das Velhas Supergroup crops out in Piranga locality. This study presents the mineral chemistry and U-Pb-Hf zircon geochronology on foliated staurolite-garnet mica schists. Garnet and staurolite index minerals are syn- to post-kinematic towards the main schistosity. Garnet porphyroblasts display well-developed compositional zoning of Mg-Fe-Mn-Ca, with increase of almandine and pyrope and decrease of spessartine towards the rim, implying in prograde metamorphic pattern. Estimates of P-T values for the metamorphic peak resulted in temperatures between 630 to 650ºC and pressure around 7 kbar. Pseudosections show well-defined stability fields in amphibolite facies, with a metamorphic path displaying progressive increase in P-T conditions. Maximum depositional age of 1,875 ± 51 Ma is established for the Piranga mica schists pointing to a depositional history that is younger than those previously described. Metamorphic Cambrian ages characterize the strong influence of deformational processes related to the final stages of Brasiliano Orogeny in the Southeastern Quadrilátero Ferrífero.

    Zircon in emplacement borders of post-collisional plutons compared to country rocks : a study on morphology, internal texture, U–Th–Pb geochronology and Hf isotopes (Araçuaí orogen, SE Brazil).
    (2020) Araujo, Cristina Santos; Soares, Antônio Carlos Pedrosa; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Dussin, Ivo Antonio; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Serrano, Paula; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de
    Zircon is a powerful tool to study the internal evolution of igneous bodies and their interactions with country rocks. At pluton borders, zircon may record the emplacement history from the crystallization onset to deuteric processes, as well as inheritance from country rocks. We present a detailed morphology and internal structure study coupled with isotopic analyses (UeThePb and LueHf) on a great number of zircon grains extracted from samples collected at the borders of three distinct post-collisional intrusions of the Araçuaí orogen: granites from the Arace^ e Pedra Azul and Vitoria plutons, and a tonalite from the Mestre Alvaro pluton. For comparison, we also present mineral and bulk-rock chemistry data from these samples of post-collisional intrusions, as well as zircon UePb-Hf data from their country rocks (the Nova Venecia migmatitic paragneisses and Atal eia granites) and a wide dataset compilation. Zircon saturation geothermometry suggests igneous temperatures above 800 C for pluton borders. Zircon geochronology resulted in crystallization ages for borders of the plutons at 523 ± 2 Ma (Arace^ e Pedra Azul), 505 ± 1 Ma (Vitoria), and 527 ± 2 Ma (Mestre Alvaro). Lu eHf data (Arace^ e Pedra Azul pluton: εHf(t) 18.6 to 23.8, TDM ages from 2.25 to 2.47 Ga; Vitoria pluton: εHf(t) 7.4 to 10.3, TDM ages from 1.58 to 1.71 Ga; Mestre Alvaro pluton: εHf(t) 0.7 to 8.8, TDM ages from 1.27 to 1.66 Ga; Nova Venecia migmatitic paragneiss: εHf(t) þ4.1 to 39.2, TDM ages from 1.20 to 3.47 Ga; and Ataleia granite: εHf(t) 3.2 to 8.1, TDM ages from 1.42 to 1.64 Ga) indicate involvement of country rocks in the petrogenesis of post-collisional intrusions. Together, new and compiled data suggest: i) magma hybridization at high temperature, involving country rocks; ii) rapid growth of zircon crystals probably at rapid cooling rates; and iii) in situ dissolutionerecrystallization and overgrowth processes in zircon crystals in response to interactions with residual (late-stage) melts and/or deuteric fluids.

    Geothermobarometry of granulites of the Juiz de Fora complex and the Andrelândia group in the region of Abre Campo and Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais, Brazil
    (2017) Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Marques, Rodson de Abreu; Velasco, Tamires Costa; Soares, Caroline Cibele Vieira
    Granulitos máficos e félsicos ortoderivados do Complexo Juiz de Fora e granulitos aluminosos paraderivados do Grupo Andrelândia ocorrem na região de Abre Campo e Manhuaçu, estado de Minas Gerais. As rochas orto- e paraderivadas estão tectonicamente intercaladas como resultado da edificação do Orógeno Araçuaí de idade neoproterozoica. Os granulitos máficos são formados pela associação mineral plagioclásio + ortopiroxênio + clinopiroxênio ± hornblenda. Os granulitos félsicos são compostos por plagioclásio + quartzo ± feldspato potássico ± ortopiroxênio ± granada. A associação mineral dos granulitos aluminosos é dada por plagioclásio + quartzo + granada + biotita ± feldspato potássico ± sillimanita. Os cálculos utilizando a geotermobarometria convencional e o programa THERMOCALC resultaram em temperaturas entre 748 °C e 870 °C e pressões entre 5,7 kbar e 7,5 kbar para o metamorfismo de fácies granulito que gerou essas rochas durante o desenvolvimento do Orógeno Araçuaí. A ocorrência local de foliação milonítica e de porfiroclastos intensamente deformados é associada a reativação das zonas cisalhamento Manhuaçu e Abre Campo durante o escape lateral da porção sul do orógeno. Esse estágio é caracterizado pelo desenvolvimento de grandes zonas de cisalhamento transcorrentes dextrais. A exumação dos granulitos do Complexo Juiz de Fora e do Grupo Andrelândia está relacionada ao colapso gravitacional do Orógeno Araçuaí.

    A-type Medina batholith and post-collisional anatexis in the Araçuaí orogen (SE Brazil).
    (2018) Serrano, Paula; Soares, Antônio Carlos Pedrosa; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Boa, Tobias Fonte; Araujo, Cristina Santos; Dussin, Ivo Antonio; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho
    The Medina batholith and its host granitic migmatites record intriguing plutonic processes in the northern Araçuaí orogen (SE Brazil). This orogen shows a long lasting (630–480 Ma) succession of granite production events from the earliest pre-collisional plutons to the latest post-collisional intrusions. The Medina batholith includes granite intrusions ascribed to the post-collisional stage. They show high alkali and halogen contents, low CaO (at SiO2=71%:Na2O+K2O=7 to 9%; CaO=1.6%), and high FeOt/(FeOt+MgO) ratios (0.78 to 0.92). The Medina granites are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, with ASI (molecular ratio Al/(Ca-1.67P+Na_K)) values of 1.76 to 2.07, and have high concentrations of high field strength elements (Zr+Nb+Ce+Y N 700 ppm), as well as high Ga/Al ratios. Accordingly, the Medina intrusions are typical ferroan A-type granites. U\\Pb ages fromzircon (501±2 Ma) and monazite (497±2 Ma) constrain the emplacement timing of theMedina batholith. Surprisingly, all monazite ages from host rocks also cluster around 500Ma, despite their nature and distance from the batholith, suggesting that they would have shared a same thermal process. The studied host rocks are granitic migmatites varying from patch metatexite to nebulitic diatexite, comprising paleosome of foliated sillimanite-garnet-biotite metagranite to gneiss, and non-foliated garnet-cordierite neosome poor to free of biotite. A metatexite (R14) located relatively far from the Medina batholith, and a diatexite (M26) found at the batholith contact were sampled for detailed studies. The paleosome of foliated metagranite (R14A) only shows zircon grains with igneous features and Th/U ratio from1.64 to 0.26. Although the spreading of zircon spots, themain cluster yields a Concordia age at 556±6 Ma, constraining the protolithmagmatic crystallization. A minor cluster furnishes a Concordia age at 499±7 Ma, in agreement with the U\\Pb monazite age at 501±2Ma. Extracted from the same metatexite sample, the non-foliated garnet-cordierite neosome (R14B) shows both igneous and metamorphic zircon domains with Th/U ratios ranging from 1.47 to 0.00. Again, the U\\Pb spots cluster at two distinct Concordia ages (562±3Ma and 499±3Ma). The youngest of them, fitting with themonazite age (495±3Ma), constrains melt crystallization,while the oldest age suggests paleosome inheritance. The nebulitic diatexite (M26) showsmonazite (497±2Ma) and zircon (Th/U=1.7 to 0.0; Concordia ages at 564±2Ma and 507±3Ma) populations similar to themetatexite neosome, alsowith the youngest ages bracketing themelt crystallization process around 500 Ma. Accordingly, all those ages at around 500Ma disclose a partial melting episode coeval with the Medina batholith emplacement. Phase equilibrium modeling on a garnet-cordierite neosome furnished P-T conditions of 750–840 °C at 2.4–3.5 kbar for that post-collisional anatexis. Evidence for such a late thermal event are common in the Araçuaí orogen, even far from the post-collisional batholiths. Thus, a possible major heat source can be envisaged, like a mantle plume triggering crustal anatexis and regional fluid circulation during the gravitational collapse of the Araçuaí orogen.

    Petrogenesis and age of skarns associated with felsic and metamafic dykes from the Paraíba do Sul Complex, southern Espírito Santo State.
    (2017) Mesquita, Raissa Beloti de; Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Dussin, Ivo Antonio
    This paper concerns the study of petrography, mineral chemistry and geochronology of skarns generated at the contact of marbles of the Paraíba do Sul Complex with felsic and metamafic dykes in the southern Espírito Santo State. The marbles were metamorphosed under P-T granulite facies conditions during the syn-collisional stage of the Neoproterozoic Araçuaí orogen. Metamafic bodies are composed of amphibolite and hornblende granofels, while felsic dykes consist of alkali-feldspar granite, monzogranite or syenogranite. From marble towards the dyke, skarns related to the metamafic bodies are composed of carbonate + olivine and diopside + hornblende zones. Skarn associated to the granitic dykes are composed of three different zones: carbonate + tremolite, diopside, scapolite + diopside. Variations in mineral chemical compositions along the metasomatic zones suggest introduction of Mg and Ca from the marbles, Fe from the metamafic dykes and Na from the granitoids. The presence of spinel in the metamafic dykes and their skarns indicates that both were metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions during the 580–560 Ma syn-collisional stage. U-Pb zircon geochronology (LA-ICP-MS) of an alkali-feldspar granite dyke resulted in a crystallization age of ca.540 Ma, which suggests that its skarns are therefore younger than skarns associated with the syn-collisional metamafic dykes.

    Electron microprobe Th-U-Pb monazite dating and metamorphic evolution of the Acaiaca Granulite Complex, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
    (2016) Medeiros Júnior, Edgar Batista de; Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Schulz, Bernhard; Marques, Robson de Abreu
    The Acaiaca Complex (AC) is located in southeastern Minas Gerais state, and comprises felsic, mafic, ultramafic, and aluminous granulites as well as lower grade gneisses and mylonites. The complex is distributed over an area of ca. 36 km by 6 km, surrounded by amphibolite facies gneisses of the Mantiqueira Complex (MC). The discrepancy in the metamorphic grade between both complexes led to the present study aiming to understand the metamorphic history of the AC by means of geothermobarometric calculations and electron microprobe Th-U-Pb monazite dating. Estimates of the metamorphic conditions of the granulites based on conventional geothermobarometry and THERMOCALC resulted in temperatures around 800 ºC and pressures between of 5.0 and 9.9 kbar and a retrometamorphic path characterized by near-isobaric cooling. Part of the granulites was affected by ana¬texis. The melting of felsic granulites resulted in the generation of pegmatites and two aluminous lithotypes. These are: i) garnet-sillimanite granulite with euhedral plagioclase and cordierite that show straight faces against quartz, and is the crystallization product of an ana¬tectic melt, and ii) garnet-kyanite-cordierite granulite, which is probably the restite of anatexis, as indicated by textures and high magnesium contents. Th-U-Pb monazite geochronol¬ogy of two granulite samples resulted in a metamorphic age around 2060 Ma, which is similar to the age of the MC registered in the literature. The similar Paleoproterozoic metamorphic ages of both complexes lead to the conclusion that the Acaiaca Complex may be the high grade metamorphic unit geochronologically related to the lower grade Mantiqueira Complex.
