Mecanismos de alojamento e deformação da fácies albita granito do plúton madeira, Mina Pitinga (AM)

Abstract

The albite granite is the latter facies of the A-type Madeira granite with alkaline affinity, which is a special Orosirian pulse of the A-type magmatic event in the Tapajós-Parima Province into Amazon craton. This facies is subdivided in two subfacies, the core albite granite and the border albite granite. The petrographic study allowed identify that the principals constituent minerals of the magmatic phase in these rocks undergone weak solid-state deformation, in which it is found locally feldspars with grain boundary migration, undulate extinction and mechanical twinning, as well as, some elongate crystals of quartz displaying typical chessboard pattern with slip planes preferably in the a-axes, dynamic recrystallization, subgrain rotation and inclusions of albite according to the limits of the crystals. These microstructures in granitic rocks indicate strain rates under intermediated to high temperatures. Geometric and kinematic analysis of the structures in the albite granite showed that: this granitic rock was deformed during a magmatic stage recording the S0 magmatic foliation, which was grouped in two orientations: N67°W/52°E e S79°W/58°N (predominant). The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility and shape preferred orientation study, confirm the stability of the primary deformation in the albite granite, these results revealed predominantly subcoaxial magnetic and mineral fabrics in both subfácies. Subsequently, the albite granite was affected by brittle deformation through of transcurrent shear zones (ZCA-B) with plunges S70°W/56°N and S23°E/58°W respectively, and dominant dextral strike-slip component associated with the principal shear zone ZCA, as well as, normal faulting (FR) with prevailing attitude S60°E/58°S and normal-sense movement. The progressive petrological evolution and continue structural pattern of the albita granite facies with respect to earlier facies of Madeira granite, define that the emplacement in the upper crust of the different pulses in this granite, was result of nested pluton process controlled by NE-SW trending strike-slip system and predominantly dextral kinematics, which is an expression of regional deformation.
