    Mineralogical evolution of ophiolites is significant to understand paleo-oceanic crust and mantle requiring multi-proxy techniques to identify steps in the processes. We studied the Bossoroca ophiolite from the southern Brasiliano Orogen, a prime example of Tonian accretion to an oceanic island arc. Integration of field geology, aeromagnetometry, aerogamaspectrometry, electron microprobe analyses, and compositional maps of minerals led to the decoding of oceanic and continental processes. The ophiolite is highly magnetic and low-K and is positioned at the base of the superstructure. We studied amphibolite, tourmalinite, and chromite-talc-magnesite granofels from the ophiolite, Capivaras diorite from the Cambaí Complex infrastructure and one metavolcanoclastic rock from the Vacacaí Group superstructure. Honblende is zoned in all rock types. Low-Ti hornblende is compatible with medium-pressure metamorphism at 7 kbar. This M1 to M2 amphibolite facies resulted in the widespread association of olivine + talc in metaserpentinite. Dravite is similar to tourmaline from the Ibaré ophiolite. Andesine and oligoclase are dominant and albite minor. Cr-spinel in granofels recrystallized in greenschist facies; host rock originated by carbonatization of serpentinite formed in the oceanic crust along with chloritite and tourmalinite. Serpentinite rare earth elements (REE) suggest origin in depleted mantle peridotite. The ophiolite evolved in the Adamastor Ocean until incorporation into the island arc.

    Oceanic crust and mantle evidence for the evolution of tonian-cryogenian ophiolites, southern Brasiliano Orogen.
    (2020) Werle, Mariana; Hartmann, Leo Afraneo; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Silva, Juliana Pertille da; Michelin, Cassiana Roberta Lizzoni; Remus, Marcus Vinicius Dorneles; Roberts, Malcolm; Castro, Marco Paulo de; Leandro, Carolina Gonçalves; Savian, Jairo Francisco
    Unravelling the complexity of tonian-cryogenian (950–680 Ma) evolution of ophiolites requires the search for rare mineral systems and their quantification with varied techniques. Ophiolites in the Brasiliano Orogen are widely distributed over 2,000 km along the eastern half of South America. We selected two ophiolites from different geotectonic settings of the Sul-Riograndense Shield, southern Brasiliano Orogen, to delimit the evolution of the oceanic phase of the orogen. The southern portion of the Bossoroca ophiolite is inserted in the Sao ˜ Gabriel juvenile terrane and contains rare metasomatic tourmaline in chloritite close to serpentinite and metamorphosed Cr-spinel. The southern Bossoroca ophiolite was intruded by Cerro da Cria and Ramada Granites and the U-Pb-Hf isotopic study of zircon from these rocks constrains the crustal evolution of the Sao ˜ Gabriel juvenile terrane. Capan´e ophiolite has similar age (793–715 Ma) as the Bossoroca ophiolite and was inserted in the Porongos fold-thrust belt with preserved Cr-spinel of mantellic composition. Integrated use of Cr-spinel mineral chemistry, B isotopes in tourmaline in the Bossoroca ophiolite and zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes of granites associated with the southern Bossoroca ophiolite revealed several steps in the evolution of the ophiolites in the Dom Feliciano Belt. Capan´e Cr-spinel cores have mantle-derived compositions (Mg# 0.66 – 0.69; Cr# 0.51 – 0.53), tourmaline from the Bossoroca ophiolite is dravite and has δ11B = 0 to + 3, and granites crystallization ages are 578 ± 3.2 and 612 ± 12 Ma (εHfzrn = − 10 to − 25). Zircon from other dravite occurrences of the Bossoroca ophiolite were previously dated at 920 Ma. We unraveled the main steps in the evolution of ophiolites from the southern Brasiliano Orogen, with emphasis on the Bossoroca and Capan´e ophiolites, during their trajectory from mid-ocean ridge (920 Ma), formation of dravite in oceanic crust, preservation of mantellic cores in Cr-spinel, and intrusion of craton-generated granites at 612–578 Ma.
