Abstract
The Serra das Araras Batholith (SAB), located at the southwest portion of the Paraíba do Sul Domain, Central Ribeira Belt, is composed of orthogneisses with peraluminous character. Combined LA-ICP-MS U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic analyses have been performed in zircon grains for a representative sample (SA-3H) of SAB. Data point to Rhyacian to Orosirian (ca. 2.1–1.8 Ga) inherited zircon cores with positive ɛHf(t) values and Ediacaran U-Pb crystallization age (595 ± 8 Ma). A leucogranite dyke (SA-3D), 15–25 cm thick, which crosscuts SAB and a biotite-hornblende quartz diorite enclave (SA-06) have been analyzed. Crystallization ages for the three samples (ca. 600-590 Ma) and ɛHf(t) values, ranging from −5.6 to −29.4 for Neoproterozoic zircon grains, indicate an Ediacaran crustal magmatism involving mid to lower crust anatexis and the reworking of Paleoproterozoic juvenile and crustal rocks.
期刊介绍:
Papers must have a regional appeal and should present work of more than local significance. Research papers dealing with the regional geology of South American cratons and mobile belts, within the following research fields:
-Economic geology, metallogenesis and hydrocarbon genesis and reservoirs.
-Geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, igneous and metamorphic petrology.
-Tectonics, neo- and seismotectonics and geodynamic modeling.
-Geomorphology, geological hazards, environmental geology, climate change in America and Antarctica, and soil research.
-Stratigraphy, sedimentology, structure and basin evolution.
-Paleontology, paleoecology, paleoclimatology and Quaternary geology.
New developments in already established regional projects and new initiatives dealing with the geology of the continent will be summarized and presented on a regular basis. Short notes, discussions, book reviews and conference and workshop reports will also be included when relevant.
