Five important magnesite mines and small occurrences in the state of Ceara form a sequence of lenses that extend, discontinuously, for over 140km. The magnesite rocks are hosted by metadolomites with lutecite, sulphate nodules pseudomorphosed by fiber-radiated quartz, scapolite and dissolution breccias. This metacarbonate sequence is more voluminous and more calcic in the southwestern extremity ofthe belt, but ...
Um grande número de inclusões fluidas de dimensões, orientações e morfologias variadas, bifásica à temperatura de 2S°C, ocorre no topázio imperial da região de Ouro Preto. Estudos microtermométricos desses Vários tipos de inclusões mostraram que elas são constituídas essencialmente por soluções aquosas e CO2; possuem, ainda, salinidades e temperaturas mínimas de formação semelhantes, quaisquer que sejam suas mo...
Neoproterozoic granitoid suites in southeastern Brazil are closely related to the different tectonic events. Petrography, geochemistry and structural features allow to separate these rocks into pre-, syn-, late and post-tectonic granitoids. The whole emplacement process lasted less than 100 Ma: from 595 Ma for the pre-tectonic granitoids, to 500 Ma for the post-tectonic ones. During this interval a 45 Ma magmat...
