Item Metallogenetic Mn-model of the Rhyacian-aged Buritirama Formation, Carajás domain (Amazon Craton).(2021) Salgado, Silas Santos; Caxito, Fabrício de Andrade; Silva, Rosaline Cristina Figueiredo e; Uhlein, Gabriel Jubé; Nogueira, Leonardo Brandão; Nalini Júnior, Hermínio Arias; Aranda, Ramon de OliveiraThe Mn-bearing Buritirama Formation is composed of clastic and chemical metasedimentary rocks representing a Rhyacian platformal basin (ca. 2.18–2.06 Ga) that limits the northern border of the Archean-Paleoproterozoic Caraj ́ as domain with the Paleoproterozoic Bacaj ́ a domain in the southern Amazon Craton, northern Brazil. The Buritirama Formation is divided into three main stratigraphic units. The Lower and Upper units consist of a basal quartzite followed by carbonate–silicate rocks (marls), dolomitic marbles (dolostone) and minor biotite schist while the Intermediate Unit consists of Mn-carbonate rocks topped by a supergene Mn-oxide deposit (Cenozoic age). These rocks were deformed and metamorphosed during the Transamazonian event (ca. 2.06 Ga). Geochemical data from dolomitic marbles (Lower Unit) exhibit negative Ce anomalies, high Y/Ho ratios (ca. 48) and seawater-like REE + Y patterns that reinforce an open platform setting for the Buritirama basin. Positive δ13C values (+3.2‰ to +5.0‰ V-PDB) for dolomitic marbles are considered to be an expression of the Loma- gundi Carbon Isotopic Excursion. The metallogenesis of Mn-carbonate rocks is evaluated based on redox- sensitive trace elements (e.g. Zn and Ni), PAAS-normalized REE + Y patterns and δ13C values (− 2.56‰ to +0.15‰ V-PDB) and point out to a classical multi-stage redox-controlled Mn-model involving: i) a primary hydrothermal fluid source related to ocean vents and/or normal faults; ii) microbially-mediated reduction of Mn- oxides particles at the ocean bottom; and iii) reactions between Mn2+ and CO3 2− (organic matter and seawater related), giving rise to diagenetic Mn-carbonates. The Rhyacian age, Mn deposits, and presence of Lomagundi- like δ13C allows to correlate the Buritirama Formation with the Aguas ́ Claras Formation within the Caraj ́ as domain further south, thus establishing an important metalliferous event that was up to now largely overlooked within the southern Amazon Craton.Item Stratigraphy, petrography and tectonics of the manganese-bearing Buritirama Formation, Northern Carajás Domain, Amazon Craton.(2019) Salgado, Silas Santos; Caxito, Fabrício de Andrade; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Castro, Marco Paulo deThe Buritirama Formation (BF) occurs at the extreme north of the Carajás Province, close to the contact with the Bacajá domain, in the southeastern portion of the Amazon Craton (Brazil). The BF consists of a 40 km long, ca. 3 km wide NW-SE trending structure arranged in four imbricated thrusts that individualize three main stratigraphic units. The lower unit is composed of orthoquartzite followed by carbonate-silicate rocks. The intermediate unit hosts a supergene manganese ore deposit formed by weathering of kutnohorite-rich marble. Quartzite/mica-quartz schist followed by carbonate-silicate rocks make up the upper unit. The local basement is constituted by orthogneiss-migmatite (Xingu Complex) and the Buritirama metagranite. Mineral chemistry data and metamorphic textures record high consumption of carbonate and quartz to produce clinopyroxenes. The structural assemblage of the BF records mass transport from NE to SW and the following deformational phases: D1 (compressional ductile), D2 (compressional brittle) and D3 (extensional brittle). The BF is interpreted as part of a platformal depositional system positioned at the border of the Carajás domain, which was probably inverted, deformed and metamorphosed during the Transamazonian event (ca. 2.1 Ga), in a deformation belt related to the amalgamation between the Carajás and Bacajá domains.Item Provenance of the Buritirama Formation reveals the Paleoproterozoic assembly of the Bacajá and Carajás blocks (Amazon Craton) and the chronocorrelation of Mn-deposits in the Transamazonian/Birimian system of northern Brazil/West Africa.(2019) Salgado, Silas Santos; Caxito, Fabrício de Andrade; Silva, Rosaline Cristina Figueiredo e; Lana, Cristiano de CarvalhoThe Mn-bearing Buritirama Formation along the homonymous ridge consists of a 40 km long by ca. 3 km wide NW-SE trending unit that limits the northern border of the Archean Carajás domain with the Paleoproterozoic Bacajá domain in the southeastern Amazon Craton. The Buritirama Formation type section is arranged in four imbricated thrusts that individualize three main stratigraphic units: Lower Unit, Intermediate Unit and Upper Unit. Detrital U-Pb zircons ages from the Lower Unit and Upper Unit record the prevalence of Neoarchean populations, suggesting the Carajás block as the main sedimentary source for the Buritirama basin. However, minor Paleoproterozoic populations attributed to the Bacajá block are also recognized, defining a maximum depositional age at ca. 2186 Ma. The anorogenic Buritirama metagranite occurs at the local basement, represents a probable precursor stage of the Buritirama rift and yielded a Concordia age of 2549 ± 5.9 Ma (U-Pb). Supported by these new geochronological data, a framework model for the evolution of the Buritirama basin is proposed. Contrary to previous interpretations, the basin was active until at least the Rhyacian, representing a platformal setting fringing the northern margin of the Carajás block. A regional metamorphic event (ca. 2.06 Ga) records the closure of the basin during the Transamazonian Orogeny and the amalgamation of the Bacajá and Carajás blocks. The depositional age bracketed in between 2.3 and 2.1 Ga links the Buritirama Mn deposit (southeastern Amazon Craton) with those of Serra do Navio (Amapá Block, northeastern Amazon Craton) and Nsuta (West African Craton), suggesting: (i) widespread chronocorrelation of Mn-bearing sequences in the continental-scale Rhyacian Transamazonian/Birimian orogenic system, and (ii) formation of the primary carbonate ores under the influence of a major global manganese deposition episode.
