Item Assessing the U-Pb, Sm-Nd and Sr-Sr isotopic compositions of the sume apatite as a reference material for LA-ICP-MS analysis.(2022) Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Gonçalves, Guilherme de Oliveira; Mazoz, Ariela Oliveira; Buick, Ian S.; Kamo, Sandra L.; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Wang, Hao; Moreira, Hugo Souza; Babinski, Marly; Queiroga, Gláucia NascimentoThis study has determined the trace element and the U-Pb, Sm-Nd and Sr-Sr isotope composition of the Sume apatite (from NE Brazil) to assess its suitability as a primary/secondary reference material for LA-ICP-MS. Reproducibility tests demonstrate that one batch (~ 100 g) of the Sume apatite (Sum e-570) is uniform in terms of Nd-Nd and U-Pb isotope compositions. Bulk isotope dilution TIMS/ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS analyses confirm that the apatite is well suited for use as quality control material for Nd isotopes and U-Pb geochronology. U-Pb ID-TIMS analyses yield weighted mean ratios of 0.09211 0.00053 (2s; 206Pb*/238U) and 0.06120 0.00063 (2s; 207Pb*/206Pb*) and a weighted mean 206Pb*/238U date of 568 3 Ma (95% c.l.). U-Pb LA-(SF/MC)-ICP-MS runs using Sume-570 as a primary RM and reproduces the dates of other established RMs within 1% deviation (except for Durango 2–4%). Major and trace element abundances show that Sume-570 is a fluorapatite derived from a syenitic source. It also strongly shows LREE-enriched chondrite-normalised REE patterns with significant negative Eu anomalies, due to crystallisation of plagioclase in the residue.Item Depositional setting and U-Pb detrital record of rift‐related deposits in the Moeda Formation (Minas Supergroup) at the Gandarela and Ouro Fino synclines, Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Brazil.(2021) Madureira, Rafael da Silva; Martins, Maximiliano de Souza; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Dutra, Luiz Fernandes; Alkmim, Ana RamalhoThe Moeda Formation (Caraça Group, base of Minas Supergroup) registers the initial rift stages of the Minas Basin in the Quadrilátero Fer- rífero, Southern São Francisco craton, SE-Brazil. We present stratigraphic and U-Pb detrital zircon dating analyses of the Moeda Formation that contribute to the comprehension of its sedimentary evolution in the southernmost Gandarela and Ouro Fino synclines (Central-Eastern Quadrilátero Ferrifero). The Moeda Formation sequence consists of a basal proximal alluvial fan with clast-supported conglomerates, grading upward into an alluvial floodplain with quartz arenites, and upper massive sandstones from distal fluvial fans. Because the Moeda Formation is normally limited by similar lithologies at both its base (Nova Lima Group, Rio das Velhas Supergroup) and top (Batatal Formation, upper- most Caraça Group) and stratigraphic inversion has occurred in the study area, U-Pb detrital zircon dating was also extended to these units to differentiate them stratigraphically. The youngest clusters of detrital zircon ages in the Nova Lima Group and Moeda and Batatal formations were 2716, 2777 and 2786 Ma, respectively. Based on our data and relevant literature, the depositional age of the Moeda Formation was interpreted as between 2716 and 2520 Ma with the Mesoarchean continental crust, the Rio das Velhas Supergroup and the Archean TTG complexes as its main source areas.Item The changing course of the Amazon River in the Neogene : center stage for Neotropical diversification.(2018) Albert, James S.; Val, Pedro Fonseca de Almeida e; Hoorn, CarinaWe review geological evidence on the origin of the modern transcontinental Amazon River, and the paleogeographic history of riverine connections among the principal sedimentary basins of northern South America through the Neogene. Data are reviewed from new geochronological datasets using radiogenic and stable isotopes, and from traditional geochronological methods, including sedimentology, structural mapping, sonic and seismic logging, and biostratigraphy. The modern Amazon River and the continental-scale Amazon drainage basin were assembled during the late Miocene and Pliocene, via some of the largest purported river capture events in Earth history. Andean sediments are first recorded in the Amazon Fan at about 10.1-9.4 Ma, with a large increase in sedimentation at about 4.5 Ma. The transcontinental Amazon River therefore formed over a period of about 4.9-5.6 million years, by means of several river capture events. The origins of the modern Amazon River are hypothesized to be linked with that of mega-wetland landscapes of tropical South America (e.g. várzeas, pantanals, seasonally flooded savannahs). Mega-wetlands have persisted over about 10% northern South America under different configurations for >15 million years. Although the paleogeographic reconstructions presented are simplistic and coarse-grained, they are offered to inspire the collection and analysis of new sedimentological and geochronological datasets.Item 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 CarvalhoThe 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.Item 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 AntonioThis 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.Item Petrography and geochronology of the Furquim Quartzite, an eastern extension of the Itacolomi Group (Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais).(2015) Evangelista, Hanna Jordt; Alvarenga, João Paulo Mantovani; Lana, Cristiano de CarvalhoThis paper presents the results of a petrographic and geochronological inves¬tigation of the Furquim Quartzite (FQ) to establish its stratigraphic correlation to quartzitic units of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) province. The Quartzite comprises a ca. 20km long and 1-6km wide ridge overlying discordantly the Archean to Paleo¬proterozoic gneissic basement and rocks of the Archean Rio das Velhas Supergroup between the city Mariana and the town Furquim, southeast of the QF. Despite the discordant contacts, previous field-based stratigraphic studies considered the Furquim Quartzite as part of the Archean Maquiné Group – top unit of the Rio das Velhas Supergroup. U-Pb zircon geochronology via LA-ICP-MS identified several detrital populations ranging from Paleoproterozoic to Archean age. The youngest popula¬tion of 2087±19 Ma defines the maximum age for the sedimentation of the precursor sandstone. This age can be correlated to be the age of the youngest zircon population of the Itacolomi Group quartzites in the QF. Thus, in contrast to previous studies, the results indicate that the FQ is an eastern extension of the Itacolomi Group, the young¬est unit of the Paleoproterozoic Minas Supergroup.Item Reavaliação e novos dados geocronológicos (Pb/Pb e K/Ar) da região do Quadrilátero Ferrífero e adjacências.(2012) Endo, Issamu; Machado, RômuloOs estudos geocronológicos efetuados no Quadrilátero Ferrífero e regiões adjacentes têm sido fundamentais para a elucidação dos processos geodinâmicos relacionados à formação e consolidação deste segmento crustal. São reconhecidos dois conjuntos estratigráficos maiores: o Supergrupo Rio das Velhas e unidades correlatas, e o Supergrupo Minas. O evento geológico melhor caracterizado (U/Pb, em zircão) está associado à deposição, metamorfismo e magmatismo do Supergrupo Rio das Velhas. O magmatismo associado ao evento metamórfico principal desta unidade se deu no intervalo entre 2.780 Ma e 2.730 Ma. Rochas vulcânicas do Grupo Nova Lima (base do Supergrupo Rio das Velhas) apresentaram idade (U/Pb, em zircão) de 2.770 Ma. Datações (Pb/Pb) em rochas carbonáticas do Supergrupo Minas forneceram idades de cerca de 2.420 Ma. Granitóides intrusivos na seqüência basal do Supergrupo Minas forneceram idades de 2.612 Ma (U/Pb, em zircão) e 2.608 Ma (Pb/Pb, em zircão por evaporação). A idade do magmatismo Transamazônico está bem registrado em granitos alojados em descontinuidades crustais ocorridos em torno de 2.120 Ma. O ciclo Brasiliano foi responsável pelo reequilíbrio isotópico diferenciado do sistema K/Ar. São controversos os parâmetros tectônicos como vergência e polaridade metamórfica dos eventos arqueanos e paleoproterozóicos.Item Neoproterozoic glacial deposits from the Araçuaí orogen, Brazil : age, provenance and correlations with the São Francisco craton and West Congo belt.(2012) Babinski, Marly; Soares, Antônio Carlos Pedrosa; Trindade, Ricardo Ivan Ferreira da; Martins, Maximiliano de Souza; Noce, Carlos MaurícioGlacigenic diamictite successions of the Macaúbas Group are widespread in the western domain of the Araçuaí orogen, east of the São Francisco craton (Brazil). Diamictites also occur on this craton and in the African counterpart of the Araçuaí orogen, theWest Congo belt. Detrital zircon grains fromthe matrix of diamictites and sandstones from the Macaúbas Group were dated by the U–Pb SHRIMP technique. The geochronological study sets the maximum depositional age of the glacial diamictites at 900 Ma, and indicates multiple sources for the Macaúbas basin with ages ranging from 900 to 2800Ma. Sm–Nd TDM model ages, determined on whole rock samples, range from 1.8 Ga to 2.5 Ga and get older up-section. Comparison of our data with those from the cratonic area suggest that these glacial deposits can be correlated to the Jequitaí and Carrancas diamictites in the São Francisco craton, and to the Lower Mixtite Formation of the West Congolian Group, exposed in Africa. The 900–1000 Ma source is most probably represented by the Zadinian–Mayumbian volcanic rocks and related granites from the West Congo belt. However, one of the most voluminous sources, with ages in the 1.1–1.3 Ga interval, has not been detected in the São Francisco-Congo craton. Possible sources for these grains could occur elsewhere in Africa, or possibly from within the Brasília Belt in western central Brazil.Item Age of pegmatites from eastern Brazil and implications of mica intergrowths on cooling rates and age calculations.(2003) Viana, Rúbia Ribeiro; Mänttäri, Irmeli; Kunst, Henjes; Evangelista, Hanna JordtU–Pb and K–Ar dating of selected minerals from different types of pegmatites in the northern region of the eastern Brazilian pegmatite province (EBPP) are reported. A concordant U–Pb age of 498 ^ 3 Ma for monazite from a simple, quartz-feldspar pegmatite without gem minerals corresponds to the crystallization age related to the Brasiliano-Pan-African posttectonic magmatic stage. This correlation is substantiated by a discordant 207Pb/206Pb age of 498 ^ 11 Ma for a zircon fraction that comprises large, prismatic crystals of pegmatitic origin with recent lead loss. The U–Pb isotope systematics of another zircon fraction composed of fine-grained, transparent grains indicates inheritance from older basement rocks. K–Ar age determinations for the core and rims of very large crystals of muscovite from more evolved, beryl-bearing pegmatites yield a mean age of 498 ^ 4 Ma. However, K–Ar dating of biotite enclosed in muscovite crystals results in a younger age of 485 ^ 4 Ma. This difference in age of ca. 13 Ma is interpreted to correspond to the time span for cooling from 400 to 350 8C (reported closure temperatures for K–Ar isotope systems of coarse-grained muscovite and biotite, respectively), which suggests a mean cooling rate of 3.3 8C/Ma. As such, it took 60 Ma for the pegmatite and its country rocks to cool from 600 8C (approximate crystallization temperature of pegmatite) to the closure temperature of 400 8C of muscovite, thus leading to an emplacement age of 560 Ma for the fertile pegmatite. This date is within the range of ages obtained for nearby fertile granites. The beryl-bearing pegmatites may be late tectonic and related to the main stage of granitogenesis of the Brasiliano orogeny, not posttectonic as determined for the northern, unfertile pegmatite. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

Here, continental sedimentation patterns, such as alluvial fan, braided-plain and lacustrine facies associations, with associated volcanic rocks are documented in two superposed basin fill-successions, which are defined as the Algodão and Sapiranga Synthems and grouped in the Botuporã Supersynthem. Both studied units consist mainly of conglomerates and cross-bedded sandstones and minor amounts of mudstones, sedimentary breccias, volcanic lava beds and volcaniclastic rocks, whichwere deposited in a rift basin – the Botuporã rift – during two syn-rifting phases. The Algodão Synthem represents the first rifting phase. The basal synsedimentary conglomerates of this unit were depositedmainly by subaerial debris flows, most likely along and near a rift border fault. The framework of this rock consists of only crystalline rock clasts from the basement and no fragments of volcanic rocks. Detrital zircon grains that were extracted from this facies show ages older than 2.05 Ga. The remainder of the section is dominated by fluvial sandy lithofacies with minor conglomerate lenses and sandstone–mudstone heterolithic lithofacies, which represent distal, waning-flood deposits in a lacustrine environment. The upper section also contains hummocky cross-stratified sandstone lithofacies, which are related to a storm-influenced deposition. On top of the Algodão succession, the volcanic rockswere dated at 1775±7 Ma,which was interpreted as the near final age of the first rift-phase. Representing the second rift-phase, the Sapiranga Synthem shows similar sedimentation patterns to the Algodão Synthem. The Sapiranga Synthem rests directly on the volcanic rocks of the Algodão Synthem, and its basal conglomerates (which are most likely also related to a master fault) contain voluminous clasts of volcanic rocks, sandstones and crystalline rocks. The detrital zircon grains thatwere extracted from this facies show ages of 1741 ± 14 and 1766 Ma as well older than 2.05 Ga. The volcanic rocks on the upper succession of the Sapiranga Synthem record ages of 1740 ± 10 Ma, which finalized the Botuporã rift evolution. A preliminary geochemical study of volcanic rocks from the Botuporã Supersynthemshowed that these rocks are alkaline rocks with high K2O/Na2O ratios, which belong to an ultrapotassic suite. The low concentrations of MgO wt.% suggest a felsic ultrapotassic character. The Botuporã Supersynthem is unconformably covered by a volcanosedimentary rift-succession of EoCalymmian age — the Pajeú Synthem, which represents the second rifting stage of the Espinhaço basin. Several Statherian-related volcano-sedimentary sequences and anorogenic granitoids occur dispersed in the São Francisco block, which requires a regional geologic model to explain the extensional and magmatism process during this time.We used the last Columbia paleocontinental reconstruction to constrain these processes by relating them to far-field continental extensional and magmatic record as part of a silicic LIP, which was triggered by the convection-driven tectonic-plate motion on the western border of the Atlantica block inside of the Columbia supercontinent.
