Evolução magmática do plúton Piracaia (SP): parâmetros físico-químicos e evidências de mistura entre magmas monzodioríticos e sieníticos / Magmatic evolution of the Piracaia Pluton (SP): physico-chemical crystallization parameters and evidence of magma interaction between monzodiorite and syenite magmas

Pressi, Leonardo Frederico 17 May 2012 (has links)
O presente trabalho investiga processos de interação e mistura parcial de magmas monzodioríticos e sieníticos s.l. no Plúton Piracaia,(~ 580 Ma), que pertence à Província Granítica Itu, de caráter pós-orogênico. O Plúton Piracaia é uma intrusão alongada com cerca de 30 km2, formada por cinco unidades: Monzodioritos grossos (Mdr); Monzodioritos finos (Mdf); Monzonitos heterogêneos (Mh); Sienitos (Sie); quartzo sienitos e quartzo monzonitos (Qsie). Como base para a caracterização dos processos de interação de magmas, foram estimados os parâmetros físico-químicos dos magmas primários e híbridos identificados no plúton. As temperaturas liquidus foram estimadas a partir da saturação em apatita, e são da ordem de 950-1050°C para os magmas mais primitivos (Mdf) e 850-900°C para os mais diferenciados (quartzo sienitos). As temperaturas solidus, estimadas através das relações de equilíbrio entre hornblenda e plagioclásio, são da ordem de 750°C para Mdf, e 650-700°C para Sienitos e quartzo sienitos (Qsie). A profundidade de alojamento do plúton é estimada em ~13-15 km com base nas pressões estimadas para Mdf com base no conteúdo de Al na hornblenda. A concentração de H2O nos magmas foi estimada com base no teor de An do plagioclásio, conhecida a temperatura de cristalização, que indicou valores da ordem de 2,5-3,3% para Mdf, alcançando até 5% nos quartzo sienitos. Estimativas da fO2 a partir da composição química de cristais de magnetita e ilmenita não puderam ser obtidas, devido a reequilíbrio pós-magmático. Deste modo, foram obtidos valores aproximados com base no conteúdo de ulvoespinélio de cristais de magnetita reconstituídos e no conteúdo da molécula ilmenita dos cristais de ilmenita; em paralelo, foram também utilizadas as razões Fe/(Fe/Mg) de anfibólio e biotita. Os resultados revelaram um importante contraste entre as unidades Mdf e Mdr, caracteristicamente oxidadas, com valores próximos aos do buffer NNO, e as demais unidades, onde quartzo sienitos (Qsie) e especialmente Sie mostram-se mais reduzidas. Os baixos valores de susceptibilidade magnética medidos em campo para as unidade Sie e Mh, que a ela se associa, devem ser reflexos do seu caráter mais reduzido. Ao longo da história de construção da câmara, que foi alimentada intermitentemente por magmas de composição variada, dois eventos principais de interação de magmas foram identificados, com características distintas: (i) interação de magmas monzodioríticos (Mdf) e sieníticos (Sie), gerando a unidade de Monzonitos heterogêneos (Mh), na qual a intensa interdigitação de porções monzodioríticas e sieníticas sugere uma forte atuação mecânica, favorecendo a hipótese de que os magmas tenham se misturado previamente ao alojamento final; e (ii) interação de magmas monzodioríticos (Mdf) e quartzo sieníticos (Qsie), gerando diversas estruturas de coexistência, mistura localizada e possivelmente as rochas quartzo monzoníticas da unidade ( Qsie); neste caso, a interação entre os magmas possivelmente ocorreu na câmara magmática, como sugerido pelas características das estruturas indicativas de coexistência (enclaves e pillows de composição monzodiorítica). / The present study investigates the interaction and partial mixing of monzodiorite and syenite s.l. magmas in the Piracaia Pluton (~580 My), which is part of the post-orogenic Itu Granite Province. The Piracaia Pluton is an elongated intrusion with approximately 30 km², composed by five units: Coarse-grained monzodiorites (Mdr); Fine-grained monzodiorites (Mdf); Heterogeneous monzonites (Mh); Syenites (Sie); quartz syenites and quartz monzonites (Qsie). The physico-chemical crystallization parameters of the primary and hybrid magmas identified in the pluton were determined as references for the characterization of the magma interaction processes. The liquidus temperatures were estimated based on apatite saturation, and are in the range of 950-1050º C for the most primitive magmas (Mdf) and 850-900º C for the more differentiated ones (quartz syenites). The solidus temperatures, estimated on the basis of the equilibrium between hornblende and plagioclase, are about 750º C for Mdf, and 650-700º C for and quartz syenites (Qsie). The depth of emplacement is estimated at 13-15 km, as indicated by pressure estimates for Mdf, based on the Al-in-hornblende content. The H2O concentration of the magmas was estimated based on the An content of plagioclase, with results are in the range of 2.5-3.3% for Mdf, reaching up to 5% in quartz syenites. fO2 estimates based on the composition of coexisting magnetite and ilmenite could not be performed, due to post-magmatic re-equilibration. However, approximate values were obtained based on the ulvospinel content of reconstructed titanomagnetite crystals, and on the content of ilmenite molecule in ilmenite crystals; in parallel, the Fe/(Fe/Mg) ratios of amphibole and biotite were also used. The results show an important difference between the Mdf and Mdr units, which are distinctively oxidized, with values near the NNO buffer, and the other units which have lower ?O2, the quartz syenites and especially the syenites being the more reduced units. The lower magnetic susceptibility values measured in the field for the Sie and Mh units must reflect their more reduced nature. During the construction of the magma chamber, which was intermittently recharged by magmas of varied composition, two main events of magma interaction with distinct characteristics were identified: (i) the interaction of monzodiorites (Mdf) and syenites (Sie), generating the Heterogeneous monzonite unit, in which the interfingering of monzodiorite and syenite portions suggest a strong mechanical interaction, favoring the hypothesis that the magmas were already mixing previously to the final emplacement; (ii) interaction of monzodiorite (Mdf) and quartz syenite (Qsie), generating diverse mingling structures, local hybridization and possibly the quartz monzonite rocks of the unit Qsie; in this case, the magma interaction must have occurred at the magma chamber, as suggested by the type of structures indicative of coexistence (enclaves and monzodiorite pillows).

The Petrogenesis Of The Station Creek Igneous Complex And Associated Volcanics, Northern New England Orogen

Tang, Eng Hoo Joseph January 2004 (has links)
The Station Creek Igneous Complex (SCIC) is one of the largest Middle-Late Triassic plutonic bodies in the northern New England Orogen of Eastern Australia. The igneous complex comprises of five plutons - the Woonga Granodiorite (237 Ma), Woolooga Granodiorite (234 Ma), Rush Creek Granodiorites (231 Ma) and Gibraltar Quartz Monzodiorite and Mount Mucki Diorite (227 Ma respectively), emplaced as high-level or epizonal bodies within the Devonian-Carboniferous subduction complex that resulted from a westward subduction along the east Australian margin. Composition of the SCIC ranges from monzogabbro to monzogranite, and includes diorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite. The SCIC has the typical I-type granitoid mineralogy, geochemistry and isotopic compositions. Its geochemistry is characteristics of continental arc magma, and has a depleted-upper mantle signature with up to 14 wt% supracrustal components (87Sr/86Srinitial = 0.70312 to 0.70391; Nd = +1.35 to +4.9; high CaO, Sr, MgO; and low Ni, Cr, Ba, Rb, Zr, Nb, Ga and Y). The SCIC (SiO2 47%-76%) has similar Nd and Sr isotopic values to island-arc and continentalised island-arc basalts, which suggests major involvement of upper mantle sourced melts in its petrogenesis. SCIC comprises of two geochemical groups - the Woolooga-Rush Greek Granodiorite group (W-RC) and the Mount Mucki Diorite-Gibraltar Quartz Monzodiorite group (MMD-GQM). The W-RC Group is high-potassium, calc-alkalic and metaluminous, whereas the MMD-GQM Group is medium to high potassium, transitional calc-alkalic to tholeiitic and metaluminous. The two geochemical groups of the SCIC magmas are generated from at least two distinct sources - an isotopically evolved Neoproterozoic mantle-derived source with greater supracrustal component (10-14 wt%), and an isotopically primitive mafic source with upper mantle affinity. Petrogenetic modeling using both major and trace elements established that the variations within respective geochemical group resulted from fractional crystallisation of clinopyroxene, amphibole and plagioclase from mafic magma, and late fractionation of alkalic and albitic plagioclase in the more evolved magma. Volcanic rocks associated with SCIC are the North Arm Volcanics (232 Ma), and the Neara Volcanics (241-242 Ma) of the Toogoolawah Group. The major and trace element geochemistry of the North Arm Volcanics is similar to the SCIC, suggesting possible co-magmatic relationship between the SCIC and the volcanic rock. The age of the North Arm Volcanics matches the age of the fractionated Rush Creek Granodiorite, and xenoliths of the pluton are found within epiclastic flows of the volcanic unit. The Neara Volcanics (87Sr/86Sr= 0.70152-0.70330, 143Nd/144Nd = 0.51253-0.51259) differs isotopically from the SCIC, indicating a source region within the HIMU mantle reservoir (commonly associated with contaminated upper mantle by altered oceanic crust). The Neara Volcanics is not co-magmatic to the SCIC and is derived from partial melting upper-mantle with additional components from the subducting oceanic plate. The high levels emplacement of an isotopically primitive mantle-derived magma of the SCIC suggest periods of extension during the waning stage of convergence associated with the Hunter Bowen Orogeny in the northern New England Orogen. The geochemical change between 237 to 227 Ma from a depleted-mantle source with diminishing crustal components, to depleted-mantle fractionate, reflects a fundamental change in the source region that can be related to the tectonic styles. The decreasing amount of supracrustal component suggests either thinning of the subduction complex due to crustal attenuation, leading to the late Triassic extension that enables mantle melts to reach subcrustal levels.
