Tectonic Relationship

Isotopic and chemical data of rocks from the Cachoeirinha suite provide new insights on the Proterozoic evolution of the Rio Negro/Juruena Province in SW Amazonian craton. Six U-Pb and Sm-Nd analyses in granitoid rocks of the Cachoeirinha suite yielded ages of 1587-1522 Ma and T DM model ages of 1.88-1.75 Ga (EpsilonNd values of -0.8 to +1.0). In addition, three post-tectonic plutonic rocks yielded U-Pb ages from 1485-1389 Ma (T DM of 1.77-1.74 Ga and EpsilonNd values from -1.3 to +1.7). Variations in major and trace elements of the Cachoeirinha suite rocks indicate fractional crystallization process and magmatic arc geologic setting. These results suggest the following interpretations: (1) The interval of 1590-1520 Ma represents an important magmatic activity in SW Amazonian craton. (2) T DM and arc-related chemical affinity supportthe hypothesis that the rocks are genetically associated with an east-dipping subduction zone under the older (1.79-1.74 Ga) continental margin. (3) The 1590-1520 Ma age of intrusive rocks adjacent to an older crust represents similar geological framework along the southern margin of Baltica, corroborating the hypothesis of tectonic relationship at that time.

In southern Mexico, discrete ultramafic intrusive bodies larger than 4 km2 are genetically related to their enclosing volcano-sedimentary terranes. These terranes are the Cuicateco and Guerrero, which include the Cuicateco and Tierra Caliente metamorphic complexes, respectively. Their basement is largely unknown, and the ultramafic masses previously have been interpreted as allochthonous dismembered ophiolites. To constrain the age of these accreted terranes, the geologic setting and 40Ar/39Ar ages are presented from the localities of Loma Baya – El Tamarindo, Guerrero, and San Pedro Limón, State of México, in the Tierra Caliente Complex, and Teotitlán – Conceptión Pápalo, Oaxaca, in the Cuicateco Complex. The Teotitlán – Conceptión Pápalo area is characterized by a sequence of metamorphosed intermediate granitoid rocks, andesitic lavas, tuffs, and psammites. The intrusive rocks and lavas are pervasively mylonitized and show abundant ultramafic segregations. The largest ultramafic bodies were emplaced into metatuffs, following the regional east-verging structural trend. Three hornblende separates from a hornblende diorite and one from a hornblende-rich clinopyroxenite yielded plateau ages of ca. 130 Ma. The ultramafic rocks in the Tierra Caliente Complex lack orthopyroxene and transitionally grade outward into hornblende diorites. The El Tamarindo ultramafic body (4.6 km2) rose as a diapir into an Albian volcano-sedimentary sequence. The best estimate for the age of this body is ca. 112 Ma from a hornblende separated from a pegmatite dike sample. This age is similar to the Albian fauna reported at Zihuatanejo and other K–Ar ages from ultramafic rocks at Camalotitos. The rigid and poorly serpentinized San Pedro Limon Stock (15 km2) was vertically emplaced into the Xochipala Formation (Cenomanian) during a regional Neogene transpressive disturbance. Four hornblende samples from hornblende clinopyroxenites and hornblendites yielded remarkably flat age spectra, indicating an age of ca. 105 Ma for the San Pedro Limon Stock. Based on the good correlation between the 40Ar/39Ar ages reported here and earlier faunistic data, it is concluded that the ultramafic rocks cooled penecontemporaneously with the deposition of the enclosing volcano-sedimentary sequences.

ABSTRACT: The São Luís Cráton comprises an area between northeast Pará state and northwest Maranhão that exposes Paleoproterozoic granitic suites and meta-volcanosedimentary sequences. In the east of this geotectonic unit, about 70 km south of São Luís, there is a portion of the São Luís Craton, represented by the intrusive Rosario Suite (RS). This work is focused on rocks of this suite, including petrographic, lithochemical and geochronological studies to understand the crustal evolution of these granitoid rocks. The rock spectrum varies from tonalitic to granodioritic, quartz dioritic and granitic compositions, and there are partial structural and mineralogical changes related to deformation along transcurrent shear zones. The geochemical studies show granitic metaluminous compositions of the calc-alkaline series with I-type affinity typical of magmatic arc. Rare earth elements show marked fractionation and slight Eu positive or negative anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.82 to 1.1). Zircon U-Pb data provided consistent ages of 2165 ± 7 Ma, 2170 ± 7 Ma, 2170 ± 7 Ma, 2161 ± 4 Ma and 2175 ± 8 Ma, dating emplacement of these granitoids as Paleoproterozoic (Rhyacian). Sm-Nd isotopic data provided model ages (TDM) of 2.21 to 2.31 Ga with positive values of εNd +1.9 to +3.2 (t = 2.17 Ga), indicating predominantly Rhyacian crustal sources for the parental magmas, similar to those ones found in other areas of the São Luís Craton. The data, integrated with published geological and geochronological information, indicate the occurrence of an important continental crust formation event in this area. The Paleoproterozoic evolution between 2.17 and 2.15 Ga is related to the Transamazonian orogeny. The granitoids of the Rosario Suite represent the main phase of continental arc magmatism that has continuity in other parts of the São Luís Craton and can be correlated with Rhyacian accretionary magmatism in the northwestern portion of the Amazonian Craton that amalgamated Archean terrains during the Transamazonian orogeny.

ABSTRACT: Here we report the results of several U-Pb zircon ages, made to generate an integrated history for the Rio Negro-Juruena tectonic province, for the northwestern part of the Amazonian Craton. This region comprises granitoid rocks, described as calc-alkaline syntectonic gneisses, granites and migmatites, affected by medium level amphibolite facies metamorphism. The new measurements, with the available Rb-Sr and K-Ar ages, indicate the formation of these rocks within a series of essentially juvenile magmatic arcs, that are closely related with subduction. Sm-Nd analyses indicate that all samples, regardless of their zircon ages, yielded TDM model ages roughly between 1.9 and 2.2 Ga, suggesting the absence of a much older source material. In the northeastern part (areas of Puerto Inírida and San Carlos), the Atabapo belt comprises rocks formed within a period of about 60 Ma, from 1800 to 1740 Ma. In the southwestern region, including the towns of Mitú and Iauaretê, the granitoids formed in the Vaupés belt between 1580 and 1520 Ma. Finally, the available K-Ar measurements indicate the onset of the Nickerie-K'Mudku intraplate heating event, with temperature above 300oC within the entire region at 1200 - 1300 Ma.

O Stock Nefelina-Sienítico Rio Pardo se localiza na porção sul do conjunto de intrusões alcalinas que constitui a Província Alcalina do Sul do Estado da Bahia. Esse corpo aflora numa área de 46 km2, sendo constituído por sienito, sienito com nefelina, nefelina sienito e sodalita sienito. A idade Pb-Pb obtida em monocristal de zircão para esse stock foi de 725 ± 2 Ma, a qual se insere no intervalo de idades para o magmatismo da parte sul dessa província alcalina (732 Ma a 720 Ma). Os dados litoquímicos obtidos para esse stock o posicionam na suíte alcalina subsaturada em SiO2 da Província Alcalina do Sul do Estado da Bahia. Os conteúdos de elementos traços asseguram sua afinidade anorogênica. Sua evolução, controlada por cristalização fracionada, se marca por acentuado enriquecimento em Na2O (até 15%) e Al2O3 (até 25%) e marcantes decréscimos em SiO2 (63% a 45%) e Elementos Terras Raras.Palavras-chave: nefelina sienito, idade Pb-Pb, Rio Pardo, BahiaABSTRACT: THE RIO PARDO NEPHELINE-SYENITIC STOCK, SOUTH BAHIA ALKALINE PROVINCE. The Rio Pardo nepheline-syenitic intrusion is located in the southern sector of the South Bahia Alkaline Province. It crops out over an area of 46 km2 and consists of syenite, nepheline-bearing syenite, nepheline syenite and blue-sodalite syenite. The Pb-Pb single-zircon evaporation age of 725 ± 2 Ma obtained for the Rio Pardo stock is in agreement with the age range (732 Ma to 720 Ma) for the southern part of province. Lithochemical data provide evidence to consider the Rio Pardo stock as a body of the SiO2 sub-saturated alkaline suite of the South Bahia Alkaline Province. Trace element contents indicate anorogenic afinity and the stock evolution, controlled by a fractional crystallization process, resulted in an outstanding enrichment of Na2O (up to 15%) and Al2O3 (up to 25%), and an important depletion of SiO2 (63% to 45%) and Rare Earth Elements.Keywords: nepheline syenite, Pb-Pb age, Rio Pardo, Bahia State.,
