    Towards an integrated tectonic model for the interaction between the Bambuí basin and the adjoining orogenic belts : evidences from the detrital zircon record of syn-orogenic units.
    (2020) Amaral, Matheus Henrique Kuchenbecker do; Soares, Antônio Carlos Pedrosa; Babinski, Marly; Reis, Humberto Luís Siqueira; Atman, Dora; Costa, Ricardo Diniz da
    The Sao ̃ Francisco craton and its surrounding orogens are some of the most important tectonic elements of South America, and key regions to understanding the assembly of Western Gondwana in the Proterozoic-Palaeozoic transition. During this major tectonic event, diachronic collisions between small continents developed an intricated orogenic system, where several orogens evolved in unique paths through time and space. In such collisional settings, there are some tectonic processes that promote subsidence, thus controlling the formation of orogenic-related sedimentary basins. Furthermore, the tectonic activity in collisional orogens generates dynamic landscapes that usually favor increased erosion and sediment generation to feed these basins, making them key places to seek for clues about the tectonic evolution of their surroundings. On the S ̃ ao Francisco craton, the Bambuí Group records a complex foreland system, which evolved in response to the lithospheric overload exerted by the uplift of both Brasília belt and Araçuaí orogen. In turn, both Salinas Formation and Ibia ́ Group comprise orogenic deposits resting within the Araçuaí orogen and Brasília belt, respectively, whose tectonic significance is still under debate. Here we present new U–Pb (LA-ICP-MS and SHRIMP) and Lu–Hf isotopic an- alyses on a great amount of detrital zircon grains extracted from the rocks of the Bambuí Group and Salinas Formation, together with a thorough data compilation from the literature. The two units present similar prov- enance patterns, sharing the major detrital zircon age peaks (550–650 Ma, 950–1050 Ma, 1750–2000 Ma, 2600–2800 Ma) and maximum depositional age in c. 550 Ma. The Ediacaran zircons recovered from the Bambuí Group show a wide range of the εHf(t), ranging from c. − 17 to +15, which suggest the existence of multiple late Neoproterozoic sources, some of them juvenile and some with a long crustal residence. The variation in detrital zircon age patterns and εHf(t) values from different units within the Bambuí Group provided additional clues of provenance changes occurred during the evolution of the basin. The new data obtained for the Salinas Formation constrain its deposition between 548 and 500 Ma, which have an important implication on its tectonic signifi- cance. We propose that in both Brasília belt and Araçuaí orogen sides, the early foredeep deposits of the Bambuí basin should have been incorporated to the orogenic domains, which could explain the apparent lack of deposits recording the climax of the Brasilia belt uplift (c. 630 Ma) within the cratonic area. In this same direction, we consider that both Salinas Formation and Ibi ́ a Group could represent remnants of these early foreland deposits related to the uplift of Brasília belt and Araçuaí orogen, respectively, incorporated to the orogenic wedges due to the advance of the deformational fronts. Therefore, what we know as Bambuí Group is in fact the remaining record of an advanced stage of the foreland system, when subsidence was already influenced by the two evolving orogens. Altogether, the analyses of the stratigraphic, structural and geochronological data converge towards an integrated tectonic model for the interaction between the Bambuí basin and the surrounding orogens during West Gondwana amalgamation.

    Provenance and paleogeographic reconstruction of a mesoproterozoic intracratonic sag basin (Upper Espinhaço Basin, Brazil).
    (2014) Santos, Marcelo Nascimento dos; Chemale Júnior, Farid; Dussin, Ivo Antonio; Martins, Maximiliano de Souza; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Pinto, R. T. R.; Santos, A. N.; Armstrong, Richard
    The Mesoproterozoic Conselheiro Mata Group is the uppermost sequence of the Proterozoic intracontinental Espinhaço basin that developed on the Congo-São Francisco Paleoplate. This sequence is represented by amarine shallow-water platform that experienced a sag phase followed by a rift phase in the Upper Espinhaço.We used combined sedimentological-stratigraphic descriptions of sections, whole-rock (WR) geochemistry and U-Pb detrital zircon dating to develop a regional paleogeographic evolution model of the sag phase. The succession corresponds to transgressive-regressive cycles in the following ascending order: 1) offshore to lower shoreface facies represented by quiescent periods and episodic sediment supply (Santa Rita Formation); 2) upper shoreface to foreshore and coastal desert facies with a reworking of the underlying units (Córrego dos Borges Formation); 3) lower shoreface with fallout of suspended fine sediments and a combination of unidirectional and oscillatory flows generated by storm waves (Córrego da Bandeira Formation); 4) tidal-influenced upper shoreface to foreshore facies with the migration of subaqueous dunes, wave swash in a beach environment and cycles of neap-spring tides (Córrego Pereira Formation); and 5) the resumption of lower-shoreface sedimentation and the subsequent development of a stromatolitic carbonate-siliciclastic platform (Rio Pardo Grande Formation). The geochemical data indicate that the studied units contain input from felsic rocks and sedimentary rocks. The basal marine to eolian sediments of the Galho do Miguel Formation are dominated by Rhyacian sources (2.1 Ga). The basal and intermediate units of the Conselheiro Group contain Archean, Rhyacian, Statherian and Calymmian-Ectasian (1.6–1.33 Ga) zircon grains, whereas Orosirian (1.9–2.0 Ga) sources dominate in the upper strata of the group. The study of this Stenian (Mesoproterozoic) intracratonic sequence provides clues to understanding the history of sedimentation and the potential source areas on the São Francisco Craton and adjacent areas, which are very useful for comparison to Phanerozoic intracratonic basins and the reconstruction of Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic supercontinents.

    Pb/Pb single-zircon dating of paleoproterozoic calc-alkaline/alkaline magmatism in the southeastern São Franciso Craton region, Brazil.
    (2000) Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Peres, Guilherme Gravina; Macambira, Moacir Jose Buenano
    Two chemically and petrographically distinct intrusive bodies (a calc-alkaline trondhjemite and an alkaline quartz-syenite cut by granitic aplites) occur in the vicinity of Piranga (Minas Gerais State), near the southeastern border of the São Francisco craton, Brazil. They intrude the Rio das Velhas greenstone belt and the Mantiqueira complex, both of Archean age. Both intrusive bodies are variably deformed and mylonitized. Age determinations using the Pb/Pb single-zircon evaporation method yielded Paleoproterozoic ages for the emplacement/crystallization of the trondhjemite (2058 ± lOMa), quartz-syenite (2036 ± 4Ma), as well as the younger aplites (2012 ± 8Ma). These ages allow us to interpret the calc-alkaline as well as the alkaline magmatism as manifestations of the Transamazonian event in the southeastern São Francisco craton region. Furthermore, the calc-alkaline trondhjemite is interpreted to have intruded during compressional deformation, while the alkaline quartz-syenite and its aplitic differentiates are post-orogenic, possibly extension-related. In terms of the Rb vs. (Y +Nb) contents, the trondhjemite plots in the field of volcanic arc granites, whereas the syenite and the aplites plot in the field of post-collision granites. The mylonitic overprinting of the syenite and the trondhjemite is also Paleoproterozoic, as deduced from the 2012 ± 8Ma age of the undeformed younger aplitic dykes which cut the syenite. It is likely that this alkaline magmatism correlates with a Paleoproterozoic post-collisional magmatic event well documented in the Transamazonian mobile belts of the northern São Francisco craton.

    A interação tectônica embsamento/cobertura em aulacógenos invertidos : um exemplo da Chapada Diamantina Ocidental.
    (2007) Cruz, Simone Cerqueira Pereira; Dias, Vilson Marques; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de
    Um cinturão de dobramentos e cavalgamentos com embasamento envolvido está exposto ao longo da borda ocidental da Chapada Diamantina, um platô recoberto por unidades proterozóicas no interior da porção setentrional do Cráton do São Francisco. Esse cinturão, com trend NNW e vergência ENE, envolve uma parte substancial da porção leste do Aulacógeno do Paramirim, que corresponde a um rifte intracontinental que experimentou uma longa história de desenvolvimento iniciada em 1,75 Ga com a sedimentação do Supergrupo Espinhaço. Após a deposição da segunda maior unidade de preenchimento, o Supergrupo São Francisco, de idade neoproterozóica (Tonian-Cryogeninan), o rifte do Paramirim experimentou uma vigorosa inversão positiva que gerou um sistema de falhas e dobras com trend NNW. Com o intuito de contribuir com o entendimento da tectônica de inversão envolvendo o embasamento, foi realizada a análise estrutural baseada em dados de campo ao longo da borda oeste da Chapada Diamantina. Os resultados indicam que o processo de inversão ocorreu em quatro fases coaxiais de deformação progressiva. Sob um campo de encurtamento geral orientado segundo WSW-ENE, a primeira fase de deformação (Dpdesc) nucleou um sistema em que a cobertura se descolada do embasamento nucleando estruturas vergentes para ESE, incluindo descolamentos intra-estratais, leques imbricados, duplexes confinados a estratos e uma variedade de estruturas de pequena escala. Reativando estruturas pré-existentes, a fase deformacional subseqüente (Dp1/Dp2) foi responsável pela geração de falhas reversas envolvendo o embasamento, zonas de cisalhamento reversas a oblíquas e grandes dobras com trend NNW que domina o cenário estrutural da borda oriental da Chapada Diamantina. Durante a fase Dp3 um trem de dobras orientadas segundo NNW, vergente para WSW e associada com uma proeminente clivagem de crenulação desenvolveu-se sobre as estruturas previamente deformadas em zonas de alta deformação da borda oriental da Chapada Diamantina.

    Geochemistry, Nd isotopes and U–Pb geochronology of a 2350 Ma TTG suite, Minas Gerais, Brazil : implications for the crustal evolution of the southern São Francisco craton.
    (2012) Seixas, Luís Antônio Rosa; David, Jean; Stevenson, Ross
    The Paleoproterozoic is considered the main period of crustal growth in the South American continent, with voluminous production of granitoid suites emplaced during the onset of the ca. 2.2–2.1 Ga Trans- Amazonian orogeny. This work documents and interprets mineral chemistry, whole rock geochemistry, Nd isotopes and U–Pb geochronology data for the high-aluminium Lagoa Dourada TTG suite. This suite constitutes a hitherto unknown episode of Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2350 Ma) juvenile felsic plutonism in the southern São Francisco craton, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is also a rare example of juvenile continental crust production in the global crustal age-gap between 2.45 and 2.2 Ga. The suite is composed of metaluminous to slightly peraluminous, low-Mg#, low-K and high-Ca, biotite-hornblende to hornblende-biotite (± garnet-magnetite) tonalites and biotite trondhjemites, varying from ∼62 to 73 wt.% SiO2. The trace element geochemistry of the suite is characterized by mildly depleted Nd isotope compositions [εNd(t) = +1.0 to +2.1], low large-ion-lithophile element (LILE, i.e., Rb, Ba, and including the highly incompatible Th) and heavy Rare Earth element (REE, Yb < 1.00 ppm) contents. The suite is also characterized by high Sr/Y ratios (≥41 up to 81), high (La/Yb)N ratios (≥12 up to 46), and positive Eu/Eu* anomalies. These data are consistent with the derivation of the suite from a tholeiitic metabasaltic source, which had a short crustal residence time prior to melting. The chemical diversity of the suite is attributed mainly to the fractional crystallization of hornblende and accessory minerals, coupled with plagioclase accumulation in the tonalitic parental melt. Emplacement of new batches of magma could explain samples which diverge from the proposed liquid line of descent of the suite. The composition and age of the Lagoa Dourada suite suggest a link with the accretion of greenstone belt packages in an intra-oceanic tectonic setting.

    Structural style of basin inversion at mid-crustal levels : two transects in the internal zone of the Brasiliano Araçuaí belt, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
    (1996) Cunningham, Dickson; Marshak, Stephen; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de
    The Araçuai belt is the orogenic belt that directly borders the eastern margin of the São Francisco Craton in eastern Brazil. Detailed structural investigations in the Governador Valadares region of Minas Gerais indicate that the amphibolite-to granulite-grade internal zones of the Araçuai belt contain several major, west-vergent, crystalline overthrust sheets. These thrust sheets contain approximately homoclinal east-dipping gneissic banding and are separated from one another by zones of isoclinally and sheath-folded, ductiley sheared, metasedimentary units that behaved as mechanically weak glide horizons during deformation. We interpret this regionally imbricated sequence of basement and cover to be the mid-crustal level manifestation of closure of a mid-Neoproterozoic rift basin that existed to the east of the São Francisco Craton. The major thrusts, which are all cratonvergent, are of Brasiliano/Pan-African age (650-450 Ma) becuase they cut the Neoproterozoic Galiléia batholith. Older fabrics are locally preserved in the basement slices, and these fabrics may be relicts of the Transamazonian orogeny (2.0 Ga). Discrete zones of ductile-brittle extension that were identified in several localities in the study area suggest the occurrence of postorogenic collapse following Brasiliano overthrusting. Alternations of rigid crystalline thrust sheets and highly deformed metasedimentary sequences, such as those of the Governador Valadares region, may be a common structural geometry at a depth of 15–20 km in modern regions of collision and basin closure.

    Tectonic implications of precambrian Sm-Nd dates from the southern São Francisco craton and adjcent Araçuaí and Ribeira belts, Brazil.
    (2000) Brueckner, Hannes K.; Cunningham, Dickson; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de; Marshak, Stephen
    The Archean and Paleoproterozoic São Francisco craton of eastern Brazil is surrounded on all sides by Brasiliano (=Pan African) orogens. The N–NE trending orogen that separates the eastern edge of the southern São Francisco craton from the Atlantic coast can be divided into the largely greenschist and amphibolite facies Araçuaı́ belt on the west and the largely granulite facies Ribeira belt on the east. A pronounced linear gravity and magnetic anomaly, the Abre Campo discontinuity, defines the boundary between these two belts. We obtained Sm–Nd mineral ages and whole-rock Sm–Nd model ages for garnet-bearing metamorphic rocks along an E–W transect across the southern São Francisco craton, the southern Araçuaı́ belt, and the Ribeira belt at about latitude 20°S. A recrystallization age of 2.1 Ga from metasediments recrystallized during the development of the classic dome-and-keel province of the southern São Francisco craton (the ‘Quadrilátero Ferrı́fero’) indicates that dome emplacement occurred during the waning stages (extensional collapse) of the Transamazonian collisional orogeny. Seven mineral ages from the southern Araçuaı́ and Ribeira belts date the thermal peak of metamorphism at between 538 and 589 Ma, confirming that these belts were pervasively remobilized during the Brasiliano event. Samples from the Araçuaı́ belt yield either Archean (>2.6 Ga) or Transamazonian (2.1–2.3 Ga) TDM model ages, indicating that the protoliths were either fragments of the São Francisco craton crust or were sediments derived from that craton, which presumably had been stretched to form a thinned continental margin during Meso- and Neo-Proterozoic rifting events. Notably, a mixed meta-pelite and metabasite sequence in the southern Araçuaı́ belt, the Dom Silvério Group, has Transamazonian ancestry and thus may represent oceanic sediments deposited on or east of this stretched margin and then thrust back onto the continent to mark a collisional suture between the São Francisco block and an Archean (?) crustal sliver to the east. The rocks of the Ribeira belt (i.e. the region east of the Abre Campo discontinuity) have younger model ages (TDM=1.6–2.0 Ga), indicating that this belt was not originally part of the São Francisco craton — it may represent an accreted Transamazonian terrane. Therefore, the Abre Campo discontinuity marks an important crustal boundary, possibly a suture. Brasiliano shear zones appear to steepen and root into the Abre Campo discontinuity, suggesting that it formed in Brasiliano time.

    Proterozoic first-order sedimentary sequences of the São Francisco craton, eastern Brazil.
    (2012) Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de; Martins Neto, Marcelo Augusto
    The São Francisco craton in eastern Brazil hosts sedimentary sequences deposited between the Paleoarchean (∼3300 Ma) and Late Neoproterozoic (∼580 Ma). Proterozoic successions occurring in this region comprise five 1st-order sedimentary sequences, which besides episodes of global significance record major basin-forming events. The ca. 8000 m-thick Minas-Itacolomi 1st-order sequence, exposed in the Brazilian mining district of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero and containing as marker bed the Lake Superior-type Cauê Banded Iron Formation, tracks the operation of a Wilson cycle in the Paleoproterozoic Era. The quartz-arenite dominated Espinhaço I and II sequences record at least two major rift-sag basin-forming events, which affected the host continent of the São Francisco craton at around 1.75 Ga and 1.57 Ga. The Macaúbas sequence and its correlatives in the extracratonic domains witness the individualization of a São Francisco-Congo plate in synchronicity with the break-up of Rodinia in the Cryogenian period. The São Francisco-Congo plate together with various fragments derived from Rodinia reassembled to form Gondwana in the Ediacaran period. In the course of the Gondwana amalgamation, orogenic belts developed along the margins of the craton; its interior, converted into foreland basins, received the shallow water carbonates and pelites of the Bambuí 1st-order sequence and its correlatives.

    Stabilization of the southern portion of the São Francisco craton, SE Brazil, through a long-lived period of potassic magmatism.
    (2012) Romano, Rafael Cotta; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de; Stevens, Gary; Armstrong, Richard
    Although the southernportion of the SãoFranciscocraton in southeast Brazil encompasses one of the largest segments of Meso- to Neoarchaean crust in the South American plate, there is little understanding of the processes leading to cratonization of this region. Our combined field and U-Pb age data show that the crust experienced massive intrusions of potassic (K-rich) granitoids between 2750 and 2600 Ma, and that this magmatic event marked the beginning of a fundamental change in the tectonics of the terrain, with the ensuing billion years being dominated by the deposition of a series of thick clastic and chemical sedimentary successions. Thus, deep crustal partial melting and subsequent transport and intrusion of these granites in the upper crust is a likely mechanism by which this segment of the SãoFrancisco crust attained buoyancy to survive recycling. Regional mapping indicates that the potassic granitoids are distributed over an area of ∼25000 km2, and are related to one of the most prolific periods of potassicmagmatism in the craton. LA-ICP-MS and SHRIMP U-Pb data from 16 samples of potassic granitoids together with published TIMS ages suggest alonglivedperiod of magmatism from 2750 to 2700 Ma, and a small pulse of granite crystallisation at ca. 2612 Ma. The U-Pb SHRIMP and LA-ICP-MS data also indicate that the Archaean granitoids do not record evidence of U-Pb zircon resetting. Our interpretation is that partial melting and transport of granitoid melts (rich in heat producing elements) to the upper crust gave rise to a thermally stable lower crust and that this lower crustal segment (in the craton area) became sufficiently refractory and resistant to further partial melting.
