    Peritidal microbialites in the upper Araras Group : Morphotypes, potential preservation and the relation with the Ediacaran-Cambrian unconformity in the Araras-Alto Paraguai Basin, southern Amazon Craton.
    (2022) Romero, Guilherme Raffaeli; Santos, Renan Fernandes dos; Nogueira, Afonso César Rodrigues; Rudnitzki, Isaac Daniel; Fairchild, Thomas Rich
    The Proterozoic biosphere was dominated by shallow-marine and intertidal bacterial biota, as evident from a robust record of microbialites in carbonate rocks. The lower Ediacaran successions in the southeastern Amazon Craton, Brazil represented by carbonates rocks of the Araras Group, record excellent occurrences of microbialites implying significant evidence for shallow marine colonization post-Snowball Earth Events (∼635 Ma). Microbialites occur at the lower and upper units of this group -Mirassol D'Oeste and Nobres, respectively with the lower associated to the Marinoan glaciation event. The upper unit, Nobres Formation, is here described with outcrop-based facies analysis discontinuously exposed in the Araras-Alto Paraguai basin. This allowed the paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the carbonate peritidal settings, organized in tidal flats and sabkha meter-scale cycles. Fifteen levels of microbialites have been described, with 4 morphotype associations. These microbialites colonized upper tidal flat zones forming stromatolite deposits of bulbous domes, stratiform, pseudo-columnar, and “cerebroid” forms. The recurrent cyclicity indicates a residence time of hydrodynamic and climatic variations for a long time producing minimum morphological changes without any decline evidence. In addition, no metazoan competition was observed in these strata. The siliciclastic inflow observed in the top of Nobres Formation is interpreted as seasonal variations that imprint turbidity in the shallow waters causing a diversification of the morphology of microbialites. The microbialite record in the Nobres Formation do not show any evolutionary trend or apparent decline, that has been attributed to the evolution of substrate-modifying metazoans, but suggest a continuous record truncated by the Ediacaran-Cambrian unconformity found at the upper portion of the Araras Group.

    The Três Marias Formation, a siliciclastic succession that occurs at the top of the Bambuí Group, has recorded the filling of the Brasiliano foreland basin that developed on the São Francisco craton. At the eastern portion of this craton, the Três Marias Formation outcrops in Gorutuba ridge, north of Minas Gerais, which area was in- vestigated by using field work, stratigraphic analysis, and isotopic U–Pb and Lu–Hf analysis. In this area, the Três Marias Formation includes molasse deposits composed mainly of arkoses and hybrid conglomerates. The arkose sediments came into the basin through a fluvio–deltaic system located to the northeast and were reworked in a siliciclastic shelf under the influence of waves, tides and storm currents. The paleocurrents indicate a coastline around the NW and NE directions, with current flows reworking sediments parallel and transversal to the coast. The detrital zircon grains indicate a 555 ± 17 Ma maximum age of the deposition for this unit, and its main sources are related to granitoids from the pre-orogenic and pre-to syn-collisional stages of the Araçuaí orogen (ca. 630–560 Ma). The filling of the foreland basin system created in response to the Araçuaí fold–thrust belt is younger than the one existing in the occidental portion of Bambuí basin, which is related to the Brasília fold and thrust belt. Therefore, the final filling of the Bambuí basin would have been controlled by the development of these two-fold–thrust belts throughout the margins of the São Francisco craton during the assembly of West Gondwana.

    Age of the emerald mineralization from the Itabira-Nova Era District, Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on LA-ICP-MS geochronology of cogenetic titanite.
    (2016) Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Delgado, Carlos Eduardo Reinaldo; Viana, Deiwys José
    No Distrito Esmeraldífero de Itabira-Nova Era, sudeste do Brasil, esmeralda gemológica é extraída em minas subterrâneas em depósitos do Tipo Xisto na zona de contato da sequência metavulcanossedimentar arqueana do Complexo Guanhães com granitos anorogênicos paleoproterozoicos da Suite Borrachudos. Depósitos do Tipo Xisto são comumente gerados por reações promovidas por deformação e calor durante metamorfismo regional. A idade da mineralização na região tem sido motivo de debates por décadas: idades variando do Arqueano ao Neoproterozoico são mencionadas na literatura. Na zona mineralizada da mina Piteiras, titanita portadora de alumínio e flúor é encontrada em rochas metamáficas. O conteúdo de flúor foi provavelmente derivado dos granitos e pegmatitos Borrachudos, tal como o berílio para a esmeralda, portanto ambos minerais podem ter sido gerados durante o mesmo evento. Geocronologia U-Pb via ablação a laser associada a espectrometria de massa por plasma acoplado indutivamente laser (LA-ICP-MS) em titanita foi realizada em uma seção delgada de um flogopita-plagioclásio- hornblenda xisto da mina Piteiras. A idade determinada de 576 ± 7 Ma é também a provável idade de geração da esmeralda durante o ciclo Brasiliano, que foi o único evento tectonometamórfico posterior à intrusão dos granitos. Este evento forneceu calor e fluidos necessários para reações entre as rochas portadoras de berílio e de cromo, possibilitando assim a formação de esmeralda.

    Carbon isotopes of Mesoproterozoic–Neoproterozoic sequences from Southern São Francisco craton and Araçuaí Belt, Brazil : paleographic implications.
    (2004) Santos, Roberto Ventura; Alvarenga, Carlos Josá Souza de; Babinski, Marly; Ramo, Maria Luiza S.; Cukrov, Neven; Fonseca, Marco Antônio; Sial, Alcides da Nóbrega; Dardenne, Marcel Auguste; Noce, Carlos Maurício
    This paper addresses the carbon isotope variations observed on Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic carbonates from the southeastern part of the Sa˜o Francisco craton and Arac¸uaı´ Belt, Brazil. Carbonates were collected across sections of the Mesoproterozoic Espinhac¸o Supergroup (Rio Pardo Grande Formation) and of the Neoproterozoic units of the Sa˜o Francisco basin, including: (i) dolomites and marls of the Macau´bas Group (Domingas Formation); (ii) dolomite pebbles and carbonatic matrix of the diamictites of the Jequitaı´ Formation; (iii) limestones of the overlying Bambuı´ Group. Limestones of the Espinhac¸o Supergroup present a flat trend of positive d13CPDB values (varying betweenC1 andC2‰), while samples of the Macau´bas Group present an upward trend of decreasing carbon isotopic values (fromC0.7 toK4.0‰). The lower d13CPDB values of this latter unit were obtained on the upper part of the section. Dolostone pebbles and carbonates in the matrix of the diamictite also present negative d13CPDB values (K3.1 and K0.6‰). Except for carbonatic pelites placed above the diamictites, that present d13CPDB of C7.7‰, limestone samples of all the sections of the Bambuı´ Group have d13CPDB values above C8‰. The data presented here reveal significant differences between carbonates from the Espinhac¸o and Macau´bas Groups, indicating that this latter unit may be correlated with the diamictites from the Jequitaı´ Formation, as already suggested by previous stratigraphic studies. The data also reveal the absence of the low positive d13CPDB carbonates (belowC3‰) frequently present at the base of the Bambuı´ Group, thus suggesting that the deposition of this unit in the Serra do Cabral and Jequitaı´ areas took place after the regional positive d13CPDB excursion observed in other parts of the basin. Hence, it is proposed that these areas were paleo-highs during the deposition of the lower portion of the Bambuı´ Group sediments.

    Syn-collisional peraluminous magmatism in the Rio Doce region : mineralogy, geochemistry and isotopic data of the Urucum suite (eastern Minas Gerais state, Brazil).
    (2000) Nalini Júnior, Hermínio Arias; Bilal, Essaid; Neves, José Marques Correia
    The Urucum Suite granitoids (Rio Doce region, southeastern Brazil) contains four main facies: megafeldspar granites, deformed medium- to coarse-grained granites, tourmaline, and pegmatitic facies. They intrude both the staurolite-garnet-muscovite-biotite schist of the São Tomé Formation (Rio Doce Group) and the Galiléia metaluminous suite (596 ±4 Ma). Detailed structural studies suggest that the Urucum Suite emplaced during an important dextral strike-slip movement (Dl phase) of the Brasiliano orogeny (650-450Ma). Modal and chemical mineralogical variations suggest an evolution from the megafeldspar facies to the pegmatitic facies. Whole-rock geochemistry indicates the peraluminous character of the Urucum Suite granitoids, the evolution from the megafeldspar facies granites to pegmatitic facies granites and suggests the syn-collisional character of this suite. U-Pb zircon (582 ± 2 Ma) and monazite (576-573 ± 4Ma) data indicate that the Urucum Suite emplaced during the Brasiliano orogeny. The peraluminous nature of the Suite and isotopic-rich character in the Rb-Sr (87Sr/86Sr = 0.7114 to 0.7165) and Sm-Nd (eNd = -7.4 and -8.2) systems indicate that it formed by partial melting of older intermediate to felsic crustal sources. Based on early Proterozoic model-ages (2.3 to 1.8 Ga) and on 2.0 Ga U-Pb inherited signature, granitoids of the Suite are probably derived from a rocks with a long crustal residence (Transamazonian basement), without extensive mantle contribution.

    Geocronologia U-Pb (SHRIMP) e Sm-Nd de xistos verdes basálticos do Orógeno Araçuaí : implicações para a idade do Grupo Macaúbas.
    (2005) Babinski, Marly; Soares, Antônio Carlos Pedrosa; Gradim, Rafael Jaude; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de; Noce, Carlos Maurício; Liu, Dunyi
    No vale do Rio Preto, setor ocidental do Orógeno Araçuaí (ca. 60 km a NE de Diamantina), ocorrem xistos verdes de filiação basáltica, cuja idade e posição estratigráfica foram motivo de controvérsia, pois os autores dividiram-se naqueles que os atribuíram ao Grupo Macaúbas (Neoproterozóico) e naqueles que os correlacionaram ao Supergrupo Espinhaço inferior (ca. 1,7 Ga). Entretanto, estudos detalhados demonstram que os xistos verdes representam derrames basálticos submarinos, sedimentação vulcanoclástica e vulcanismo relacionado a fontes de alta produtividade, relacionados à deposição da Formação Chapada Acauã do Grupo Macaúbas (Gradim et al., 2005). Os dados geoquímicos indicam que os protólitos dos xistos verdes evoluíram em ambiente continental intraplaca. Análises isotópicas U-Pb (SHRIMP) foram realizadas em doze cristais de zircão extraídos de uma amostra de xisto verde, cujo pó de rocha-total foi utilizado para análise Sm-Nd. A idade-modelo Sm-Nd (ca. 1,52 Ga) sugere que os protólitos dos xistos verdes são mais novos que o magmatismo do rifte Espinhaço. A maioria dos cristais de zircão analisados mostra-se como grãos detríticos. As idades mais antigas indicam grãos herdados do embasamento arqueano-paleoproterozóico e de rochas magmáticas do rifte Espinhaço. Os cristais mais jovens limitam a idade máxima dos protólitos dos xistos verdes em ca. 1,16 Ga.
