Pre-Mesoproterozoic crustal framework and Mesoproterozoic evolution of the SW A...
Merino-Martínez, E.; Ferreira, Ezequiel; Valverde-Vaquero, Pablo; Rodrigues, José Feliciano; Escuder-Viruete, Javier; Garcia-Lobon, Jose LuisABSTRACT: The southwestern Angolan Shield hosts the Earth's largest Mesoproterozoic massif-type anorthosite complex (up to 53,500 km(2)), the Kunene Complex (KC). This complex is the result of a long-lived (similar to 200 Ma) episodic emplacement of coalescent magmatic pulses. The recent acquisition of multidisciplinary data during the PLANAGEO project has significantly enhanced our understanding of the Precamb...
From source to surface: clues from garnet-bearing Carboniferous silicic volcani...
Cravinho, André; Rosa, Diogo; Relvas, Jorge M.R.S.; Solá, A. Rita; Pereira, Inês; Paquette, J. L.; Borba, M. L.; Tassinari, Colombo C. G.; Chew, DavidABSTRACT: This work investigates the relationships between partial melting, melt extraction, pluton growth and silicic volcanism in garnet-bearing felsic volcanic rocks that were extruded in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, at ca. 345 Ma. The garnets are of peritectic origin, displaying textural and chemical features of disequilibrium crystallization during partial melting reactions involving biotite at high temperatur...

Lains Amaral, João; Solá, A. Rita; Santos, Telmo M. Bento Dos; Feitoza, L. M.; Tassinari, Colombo C. G.; Crispim, Lourenço; Chichorro, MartimABSTRACT: The Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) is a late Devonian- Early Carboniferous world-class polymetallic VMS province that includes significant Cu-(Sn)-Pb-Zn-(Ag) deposits of massive sulphides and feeder zones. The Aljustrel brownfield region contains one of the highest concentrations of ore in the IPB in 6 known deposits (Gaviao, Sao Joao, Moinho, Algares, Estacao and Feitais). To delve into the petrogenesis o...

Zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes reveal the crustal evolution of the SW Angolan S...
Ferreira, Ezequiel; Lehmann, Jeremie; Rodrigues, José Feliciano; Hayes, Ben; Merino-Martinez, Enrique; Milani, Lorenzo; Bybee, Grant M.ABSTRACT: The crustal evolution of the Angolan Shield (AS) remains poorly constrained. To address this, we analysed U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes in detrital and igneous zircons to investigate the age and provenance of extensive sedimentary strata in southwestern Angola and use it as a proxy to gain insight into the Archean to Mesoproterozoic evolution of the region. Mesoproterozoic maximum depositional ages for the ...
O magmatismo mais antigo da Faixa Piritosa Ibérica: dados geocronológicos UPb d...
Feitoza, L. M.; Santos, Telmo M. Bento Dos; Amaral, Joao Lains; Solá, A. Rita; Tassinari, Colombo C. G.; Basei, M.A.S.; Matos, João XavierSUMMARY: New U-Pb geochronological data (SHRIMP/LA-ICP-MS) is presented for zircons of volcanic rocks and dark shales of the Salgadinho deposit, located in Cercal, Iberian Pyrite Belt. Results show that the main magmatic event was placed between 387-392 Ma, indicating the oldest volcanism in the Iberian Pyrite Belt so far. Inherited and detrital zircon ages suggest affinity to Laurussian and Avalonia (s.l.) per...
The paleoenvironmental and thermal histories of the Permian Irati formation sha...
Rocha, Rocha, H.V.; Sant'Anna, L.G.; Rodrigues, Cristina F.A.; Mendes, Márcia; Pereira, Zélia; Lopes, Gilda; Fernandes, Paulo; Pereira, EgbertoABSTRACT: Mineralogical assemblages and organofacies are important sources of information to recover the paleoenvironmental and thermal histories of shale deposits. In this study, a detailed qualitative and quantitative characterization of the Permian Irati Formation (Assistência Member) shale is based on mineralogical (XRD and SEM-EDS) and organic components (TOC, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, organofacies, TAI, fluore...
Tracking hydrothermal events using zircon REE geochemistry from the Carajás Min...
Borba, Maurício L.; Tassinari, Colombo C. G.; Matos, Fernando M. V.; Sato, Kei; Huhn, Sergio; Ferreira, Samuel N.; Medeiros, Carlos A.Zircon geochemistry and geochronology are powerful tools in the study of multistage cratonic settings, yielding information on ages and distinguishing terranes. The Caraj´ as Mineral Province (CMP) SE of the Amazonian Craton is renowned for its complex tectonic evolution and notable mineral deposits endowment, such as the giant iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG)-type Sossego and Salobo. Tectonic, magmatic, metamorph...
U-Pb zircon SHRIMP dating of a protracted magmatic setting and its volcanic emp...
Lains Amaral, João; Solá, A. Rita; Santos, Telmo M. Bento Dos; Tassinari, Colombo C. G.; Gonçalves, JoãoA geochronological study using SHRIMP U-Pb analysis of zircon grains has been conducted to date felsic volcanic rocks hosting the six massive sulphide deposits of the giant Aljustrel mining district in the Iberian Pyrite Belt. A multiple method age calculation approach was used to validate and ponder calculated Concordia ages (emplacement and inherited), which included weighted average, probability density peak...
New palynostratigraphic data of the Irati (Assistência Member) and the Corumbat...
Rocha, H.V.; Mendes, Márcia; Pereira, Zélia; Rodrigues, C.; Lopes, Gilda; Sant'Anna, L.G.; Tassinari, Colombo C. G.; Sousa, M.J. Lemos deABSTRACT: This research presents the palynostratigraphy of organic-rich shales from the Irati and the Corumbataí formations, Paraná Basin (PB), Southeastern Brazil, as part of an unconventional hydrocarbon source rock and CO2 reservoir assessment study. Thirty-four samples from the Corumbataí Formation and the Assistência Member of the Irati Formation were collected in the states of Goiás (northern border of th...
