Magmatismo Paleoproterozóico do extremo Sul do escudo das Güianas, município de Presidente Figueiredo (AM): Geologia, GeoQuímica, e Geocronologia Pb-Pb em Zircão

Abstract

This work presents the geological arrangement of an area of ~560km2, located at the southwestern this district, where aerial disposition, contact relationships, petrographic and geochemistry variations and the Pb-Pb zircon geochronology are characterized, allowing to comment about the possible sources and ages of those rocks, beyond to propose a geodynamic model for northern Ventuari-Tapajós Province. This study was developed in three stages: (1) bibliographical revision and interpretation of the remote sensing products LANDSAT 5/TM, JERS, DTM, and SAR/SIPAM; (2) geological mapping and sampling; and (3) preparation of the samples for petrographic analyses, whole-rock geochemistry, and Pb- Pb zircon geochronology. The studied area is represented from monzogranites to diorites of the Água Branca Intrusive Suite, vulcanites of the Iricoumé Group, alkali-granites of the Mapuera Intrusive Suite, biotite granite (rapakivi) of the São Gabriel batholite and Neoproterozoic sediments of the Prosperança Formation. Assemble that geological setting, the Canoas Anorthosite, mafic and felsic dikes, beyond cenozoic laterithic coverings. The geochemistry and Pb-Pb zircon geochronology evaluation individualized two rock groups formed in different magmatic events delimited by ca. 1.89 B.y. ago, in which were generated high-K calc-alkaline biotite (hornblende) granites of the Água Branca Intrusive Suite (1898±3, 1895±3 e 1890±2Ma) and post-collisional to within-plate rhyolites, andesites, ignimbrites, K-feldspar granites and rapakivi biotite granites grouped, respectively, in the Iricoumé Group (1883±4Ma), Mapuera Intrusive Suite and São Gabriel batholite (1889±2Ma). I-type Água Branca granitoids revealed weakly peraluminous to metaluminous characteristics, high content in Ba, Sr and Rb/Zr, from LREE to HREE moderately fractionated, sin-collisional tectonic setting. The value of 1936±6Ma was considered as the contamination age from host-rock zircon crystals and 2002±14Ma age, in single-zircon crystal, was interpreted as inherited Pb-component originating from the late-transamazonian source. Post-collisional to within-plate studied rocks demonstrated weakly peraluminous, sub-alkaline, high- to ultra-K characteristics, high levels of Nb, Rb, Ta, Zr, Y e K/Rb and LREE weakly to moderately fractionated in relation to HREE. Different magmatic series and intracratonic reactivation suggest a tectonic model for the northern Ventuari-Tapajós Province is subduction-related paleoplate oceanic in the Amazonian proto-craton. This model brings about the collage and construction final processes of the Ventuari-Tapajós Province. After, processes of continental crust relaxation, post-collisional uplift and associated-caldroncollapse regional tension has occurred (i.e. vulcanites and granitoids of the Iricoumé-São Gabriel magmatism, and Mapuera ultra-K granitegenesis). The granitoids and vulcanites of the study area are compared in this work to the Tapajós Gold Province rocks, in the southern of the Ventuari-Tapajós Province, based on geochemistry and Pb-Pb zircon geochronology data. Therefore, Água Branca, Iricoumé and Mapuera units are correlated respectively to Parauari Intrusive Suite, Moraes Almeida Formation (Iriri Group) and Maloquinha Intrusive Suite.
