Growth strata analysis and detrital-zircon geochronology are useful applications of stratigraphy to tectonic problems. Whereas both tools can contribute to kinematic analyses of supracrustal rock bodies, growth strata are also useful for analyzing the influence of tectonics on stratigraphic architecture. This study reports: 1) a conceptual model for growth strata development; 2) stratigraphic and kinematic analyses of growth strata architectures from growth structures in southeastern Utah, the Gulf of Mexico, and northeastern Spain; and 3) the detrital-zircon geochronology of the Salinian block of central coastal California. Kinematic sequence stratigraphy subdivides growth strata into kinematic sequences that are separated by kinematic sequence boundaries. Kinematic sequences can be further partitioned into kinematic domains based on the termination patterns of strata within a kinematic sequence. Salt- related fluvial growth strata from the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Utah contain stratigraphic architectures that are unique to different kinematic domains. Offlap kinematic domains contain fluvial strata indicative of high slopes, low accommodation rates, and strong structural influence on paleocurrent direction. Onlap kinematic domains contain fluvial strata indicative of moderate slopes, high accommodation rates, and decreased structural influence on paleocurrent direction. The stratigraphic architecture of alluvial -fan thrust -belt growth strata in northeastern Spain does not display a marked correlation with kinematic domain, and is most easily interpreted using existing models for autocyclic alluvial -fan evolution. Detrital- zircon (U -Pb) geochronologic data from basement and cover rocks of Salinia suggest that Salinia originated along the southwestern margin of North America, likely in the vicinity of the Mojave Desert. The presence of Neoproterozoic and Late Archean detrital zircons in Salinian basement rocks also suggest that Salinian sediments were recycled from miogeoclinal sediments of the western margin of North America.

Diploma thesis deals with geological, petrological, structural and geochemical studies of the most probably neoproterozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Pičín belt in the area NW from Dobříš, approximately between the villages Trnová and Chouzavá. Volcanics of Kozí hory area, which are demonstrably included into Davle Formation have beeen used for comparison with the Dobříš area. One of the major part of the work includes geological mapping on scale of 1:10 000, which served as a base for a more detailed petrological, structural and geochemical studies. Some lenses of lava and volcanoclastic breccia and minor layer spilite were newly discovered, areal extent of some cherts bodies and basaltic dykes were modified. Basalts, andesites and dacites bodies have been reclassified against the basic geological map of 1:25 000 (Havlíček, 1985; Mašek, 1987). Basalts in the Havlíček's (1985) map actually represent a very fine-grained rhyolites (ignimbrites) with disseminated ore minerals with layers of pyroclastic rocks (ignimbrites, volcanoclastic breccia). Areal extent of andesites and dacites bodies were modified and new body of trachyandesite was detected. Extremely fast cooled grained textures and series of features corresponding to welded tuff (ignimbrites) shows that the tuffs were deposited in...

Située dans la partie occidentale de la République Centrafricaine, la zone d’étude (Fig.1 et 18), correspond à trois domaines géotectoniques : le domaine NW et SE, le domaine central et le domaine méridional. Le domaine NW et SE ou la nappe panafricaine des Gbayas (640 Ma), est caractérisé par une succession d’activités magmatiques et de granulites. Le mouvement tectonique affectant ce domaine est principalement latéral ( vers le S et SW). Le domaine central, constitué d’un socle éburnéen (2400-2200 Ma) et de sa couverture paléoprotérozoïque métasédimentaire à métavolcanite (1800 Ma environs), est dominé par des mouvements verticaux.Le dernier domaine comporte, une triade de roches (métatillite, cipolin, métasilexite) néoprotérozoïques, associées au dépôts du bassin de Bangui, est coiffée par une formation sédimentaire. S’agirait-il de deux domaines paléogéographiques (central et méridional) juxtaposés ? La lithologie et la lithostratigraphie de ces deux précédentes zones posent toujours des problèmes d’âges.). Les métatillites situés à la partie basale des dépôts du bassin de Bangui (domaine méridional), nous ont poussé à vérifier les traces de l’événement mondial qui est la glaciation néoprotérozoïque, en réalisant des analyses géochimiques au ∂18O et ∂13C. Ces trois domaines portent les empreintes de quatre à trois phases de déformation panafricaine. Des fortes valeurs d’aimentation (≤ 5 A/m ) mesurées sur certaines roches issues de cette zone pourraient être associées à la grande anomalie magnétique observée mondialement (satellitaire et au sol ) en République Centrafrique. / Located in the western part of the Central African Republic, the study area (Fig. 1 and 18), corresponding to three geotectonic areas: NW and SE area, central area and the southern area. The NW and SE domain or Pan Gbayas of water (640 Ma) is characterized by a succession of magmatic activity and granulites. The tectonic movement affecting this area is mainly lateral (to the S and SW). The central domain consists of a Eburnean basement (2400-2200 Ma) and its Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary to metavolcanic coverage (around 1800 Ma) is dominated by vertical movements.The latter area includes a triad of rocks (métatillite, cipolin, métasilexite) Neoproterozoic, associated with basin deposits Bangui, is capped by a Stack. Would it two paleogeographic domains (central and southern) side by side? Lithology and lithostratigraphy of the two previous areas still pose problems for ages.). The métatillites located at the basal part of Bangui Basin (southern area) deposits, we drove to check the traces of the global event that is Neoproterozoic glaciation, conducting geochemical analyzes ∂ 18O and ∂ 13C. These three areas are the fingerprints of four three-phase deformation of Pan. Strong values of magnetization (≤ 5 A / m) measured on some rocks from this area may be associated with high magnetic anomaly observed worldwide (satellite and ground) in the Central African Republic.

L’acidification des océans provoquée par l’absorption du CO2 atmosphérique par l’eau de merest devenue une préoccupation écologique majeure et menace déjà les organismes calcifiants. Suiteà la révolution industrielle, le pH de l’océan de surface a diminué de 0,1 unité-pH. En revanche, celuides eaux profondes reste peu documenté. Les isotopes du bore (11B) dans les carbonatesbiogéniques se sont révélés être un puissant outil géochimique pour la reconstitution du pH, mais n’apas encore été appliqué aux coraux profonds. Un travail analytique sur MC-ICPMS Neptune et uneanalyse géochimique de ces coraux ont été effectués afin de reconstituer et quantifier l’acidificationdes océans. De même, la valeur 11B de l’eau de mer utilisée pour calculer les paléo-pH a étérevisitée et l’homogénéité des océans vérifiée.L’analyse de deux colonies modernes de Lophelia pertusa et Madrepora oculata a permis dequantifier un taux d’acidification pendant la fin du XXème siècle pour les eaux de sub-surface en mer deNorvège et cela après établissement d’une calibration expérimentale à partir de coraux de culture.L’analyse géochimique des coraux profonds a mis en évidence un effet vital lié à la physiologie quidoit être considéré pour quantifier avec précision la variabilité du pH. Celui-ci peut être en partiecorrigé par une analyse statistique des isotopes stables B, C et O. Cette étude a aussi révélél’influence de l’hydrodynamique régionale. Enfin les variations naturelles du pH pendant l’Holocène etle Dernier Maximum Glaciaire sur des coraux profonds fossiles méditerranéens ont été établies etcelles pendant l’aube de l’explosion de la diversité biologique. / Ocean acidification is caused by the absorption of rising atmospheric CO2 by seawater andrepresents a major environmental issue. Since the beginning of the industrial era, seawater pH hasdecreased by 0.1 pH units and is already threatening calcifying organisms. Boron isotopes (11B) haveproved to be a powerful geochemical tool for the reconstruction of pH variations, but has not yet beenapplied to deep-sea corals (DSC). Accurate and precise measurements of boron isotopes in coralsand seawaters were performed in order to measure small pH variations.The technique of pH reconstruction based on boron isotopes (pH-11B) was used on two specimens of the DSC Madrepora oculata and Lophelia pertusa collected alive in the Norwegian Sea and spanning an age of 40 (3) and 67 (3) years, respectively. Acidification rates were calculated by applying a new pH-11B calibration obtained from the geochemical analysis M. oculata and L. pertusa samples cultured under different pCO2 conditions. The contribution of a biological-related vital effect on d11B was observed at macrometer scale, and a correction was finally suggested based on oxygen and carbon isotopes. Overall, the coral δ 11B-based reconstructions show a pH decrease in the Norwegian Sea since the 1940s, which seems to be related to the local hydrodynamics. The pH-11B technique was also applied to fossil DSC fragments from two “on-mound sediment cores” retrieved in the Siculo-Tunisian Strait with the aim to reconstruct the pH during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene periods. Finally, well-preserved limestone samples from the stratigraphic sequence Nama (551-543 Ma) in Namibia were investigated for 11B to study the pH variations at the beginning of the Cambrian evolutive radiation.

Le Granite Passa Três est situé à l'Est de l'Etat du Paraná, au Sud du Brésil, et est allongé selon une direction NNE-SSW. Sa mise en place se fait au cœur des metapélites mesoprotérozoïques du Groupe Açungui (Province Mantiqueira). La minéralisation d’or du Granite Passa Três est composée par des veines de quartz contenant des quantités variables de fluorite, sulfures et carbonates. Les objectifs principaux de ce travail de thèse sont : de comprendre le modèle de formation du système de veines minéralisées en prenant en compte les relations entre magmatisme, hydrothermalisme, déformation et minéralogie à la fois dans l’espace et dans le temps ; la caractérisation de la nature, de la source et des conditions de dépôt des fluides ; et la caractérisation du modèle métallogénique de ce gisement singulier. Pour arriver à ces objectifs, les méthodes utilisées seront, en sus de la géologie structurale et de terrain : la pétrographie, la géochronologie U-Pb (LA-ICP-MS) sur zircon et 40Ar-39Ar sur muscovite, la microscopie électronique à balayage (MEB), la microsonde électronique, la fluorescence X (XFR), l’analyse isotopique du soufre (δ34S) et l’analyse microthermométrique et RAMAN des inclusions fluides. Les données structurales ont montré la coexistence de deux systèmes principaux de filons minéralisés, l’un N-S et l’autre E-W, avec des pendages de 60-75°W et 45-70°S, respectivement. Les deux systèmes sont interprétés comme contemporains et conjugués. Les corps minéralisés forment des géométries sigmoïdales qui résultent de l’ouverture en pull-aparts résultant de mouvements en faille normale le long de plans de glissement à faible pendage. Le fort pendage des structures minéralisées s’explique par l’enveloppe globale formée par la succession des pull-aparts. Quatre étapes minéralogiques sont à l’origine de la formation du système minéralisé : phase 1 [qtz 1 + fl], phase 2a [qtz 2 + py 2a ± or ± cpy ± aik ± fl ± sph ± musc], phase 2b [qtz 2 + py 2b + or + cpy + aik + ank ± sph ± fl ± musc] et phase 3 [qtz 3 + ank + calc + molyb ± aik ± musc ± fl]. L’or se trouve dans la forme d’or invisible et d’or natif dans des fractures qui affectent les pyrites des phases 2a et b, systématiquement associé avec la chalcopyrite et l’aikinite. L’altération associée à la minéralisation inclue des assemblages composés par muscovite/quartz/pyrite (altération du type greisen) et séricite/carbonate/clinochlore (altération phyllique). Les valeurs δ34S des pyrites (de -0.1‰ à 1.1‰) indiquant que le soufre du dépôt peut être d’origine magmatique. Cette hypothèse est en accord avec l’observation systématique, dans les parties supérieures du granite (sondage et niveaux supérieurs de la mine), de structures caractéristiques de transition magmatique-hydrothermale comme des systèmes aplo-pegmatitiques, des veines de quartz à bordure de K-feldspath, des concentrations de quartz de type stockscheider et des textures de solidification unilatérales (UST). Les résultats de géochronologie confirment cette hypothèse avec des âges U-Pb sur zircon (611.9±4.7 et 611.9±5.6 Ma pour le granite à grain moyen (GEM) et le microgranite (GEF) et 40Ar-39Ar sur muscovite (veines à bordure de K-feldspath : 612.9±2 à 608.8±2 Ma ; veines minéralisées : 611.7±2 à 608.8±2 Ma ; veines de quartz précoces : 608.4±2 Ma) très proches. Ces âges obtenus indiquent que la mise-en-place du granite, l’exsolution du fluide magmatique-hydrothermal et la formation des veines de quartz aurifères ont été réalisées pendant un écart de temps de 5 Ma, entre 613 et 608 Ma. La minéralisation (611 à 608 Ma) contemporaine de la cristallisation du granite (612 à 610 Ma), l’association de l’or avec des minéraux de bismuth (aikinite), la démonstration du contrôle structural sur la formation des veines et les évidences de transition magmatique-hydrothermale en domaine de coupole granitique montrent que le dépôt d’or du Granite Passa Três partage plusieurs similitudes avec les dépôts du type intrusion-related. / The Passa Três Granite is situated in southern Brazil (Paraná State) and presents a NNE-SSW elongated shape. This intrusion is emplaced within metapelites of the Mesoproterozoic Açungui Group (Ribeira Belt, Mantiqueira Province), between the N40E trending Morro Agudo and Lancinha faults. Gold mineralisation is composed of centimetric to metric quartz veins with fluorite, sulphides and carbonates. The main objectives of this work are i) to understand the model of formation of the mineralised veins systems taking into account the relationships between magmatism, hydrothermalism, deformation and mineralogy in space and time; ii) the characterization of the nature, source and emplacement conditions of the ore fluids; and iii) the characterization of a metallogenic model for this singular deposit. In order to reach these purposes, the methods to be applied include, beyond the structural geology and field works: petrography, U-Pb zircon (LA-ICP-MS) and 40Ar-39Ar muscovite geochronology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron-microprobe analyses (EPMA), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), isotopic analysis of sulphur (δ34S), and microthermometric and Raman analysis of fluid inclusions. Structural data showed the coexistence of two major normal mineralised vein systems, one N-S and the other one E-W, with dips of 60-75ºW and 45-70ºS, respectively. Both systems are interpreted to be contemporaneous and conjugated. Orebodies form sigmoidal geometries that resulted of the opening of pull-aparts as a consequence of the normal movements along low-angle fault planes. High-angle dip of the global mineralised structures is explained by the succession of the pull-aparts. Four mineralogical stages resulted in the formation of the mineralised system: phase 1 [quartz 1 + fluorite], phase 2a [quartz 2 + pyrite 2a ± gold ± chalcopyrite ± aikinite ± fluorite ± sphalerite ± muscovite], phase 2b [quartz 2 + pyrite 2b + gold + chalcopyrite + aikinite + ankerite ± sphalerite ± fluorite ± muscovite] and phase 3 [quartz 3 + ankerite + calcite + molybdenite ± aikinite ± muscovite ± fluorite]. Gold occurs as invisible gold and as native grains within fractures that affect pyrite 2a and 2b, commonly associated with chalcopyrite and aikinite. Alteration related to the mineralisation includes muscovite/quartz/pyrite (greisen type alteration) and sericite/carbonato/clinochlore (phyllic alteration) assemblages. The δ34S values of pyrite crystals (from -0.1‰ to 1.1‰) indicate that the sulphur in this deposit may have a magmatic origin. This hypothesis agrees with the systematic observation, within the upper part of the granite (drill holes and superior levels of the mine), of structures typical of magmatic-hydrothermal transition such as aplite-pegmatite systems, quartz veins with K-feldspar border, quartz concentration of stockscheider type and unilateral solidification textures (UST). Geochronological data confirm this hypothesis with U-Pb zircon ages (611.9±4.7 and 611.9±5.6 Ma for medium grained granite facies (GEM) and microgranite (GEF), respectively) and 40Ar-39Ar muscovite dating (veins with K-feldspar border: 612.9±2 to 608.8±2 Ma; mineralised veins: 611.7±2 to 608.8±2 Ma; barren vein: 608.4±2 Ma), that are very close. These ages indicate that the granite emplacement, the magmatic-hydrothermal fluid release and the formation of gold-bearing quartz veins occur during a time lapse of approximately 5 Ma, between 613 and 608 Ma. The mineralisation (611 to 608 Ma) coeval to granite crystallization (612 to 610 Ma), the association of gold with Bi minerals (aikinite), the strong structural control for veins and magmatic-hydrothermal transition features at the roof of a small granitic intrusion suggest that the Passa Três gold deposit shares several similarities with intrusion-related gold deposits.

Esta dissertação faz parte de um projeto que tem como objetivo investigar a origem e evolução do magmatismo de arco e pós-colisional do Escudo Sul-rio-grandense (ESRG), caracterizando a partir de estudos geoquímicos, estruturais e petrográficos os Granitóides Sanga do Areal (GSA), localizados na região de Quitéria, porção leste do Escudo Sul-rio-grandense. Estes granitóides consistem de dois corpos principais, alongados na direção NE-SW, com aproximadamente 14 km de extensão e 2 km de largura, e também de diversas intrusões menores, posicionadas, preferencialmente, na porção mediana de alta deformação cisalhante do Complexo Arroio dos Ratos. Estão em contato na porção NW com metatonalitos, metagranodioritos e gnaisses tonalíticos a dioríticos de idade paleoproterozóica do referido complexo e com horblenda-biotita granodioritos da unidade neoproterozóica Granodiorito Cruzeiro do Sul. Na porção SE o contato se dá com tonalitos a dioritos relacionados aos Granitóides Arroio Divisa de idade neoproterozóica. Os GSA são biotita monzogranitos de textura porfirítica em seu termo principal, com cerca de 30% de megacristais de até 5 cm de comprimento de plagioclásio e K-feldspato. A matriz heterogranular média a grossa é composta por quartzo fitado, feldspato parcialmente recristalizado e biotita. Subordinadamente, observam-se corpos de espessura centimétrica a métrica de biotita granodiorito equigranular médio, com fenocristais esparsos de feldspatos alinhados na foliação. Raramente ocorrem enclaves microgranulares máficos. A foliação milonítica é bem marcada pela orientação da biotita, dos megacristais lenticulares e do quartzo fitado e tem direção E-W, com alto ângulo de mergulho para N e para S, contendo lineação de estiramento direcional, com baixo caimento para W a SW. A foliação ígnea primária, concordante a sub-concordante com a foliação milonítica, tem ocorrência restrita e é marcada pela orientação dos megacristais não deformados e das lamelas de biotita. Estruturas S-C, caudas assimétricas em porfiroclastos de feldspatos, biotita fish e fitas assimétricas de quartzo são consistentes e indicam movimento transcorrente sinistral. Os Granitóides Sanga do Areal têm afinidade sub-alcalina médio a alto K, provavelmente toleítica, compatível com ambiente pós-colisional, onde foram deformados e controlados por zonas de cisalhamento transcorrente sub-verticais. Foi obtida uma idade U-Pb em zircão dos granitóides de 626,6±4,9 Ma (MSWD=2.2), coerente com as relações de campo. / This research investigates the evolution of arc to post-collisional magmatism in the Sul-rio-grandense Shield (ESGR), using geochemistry, structural and petrographic studies of the Sanga do Areal Granitoids (GSA). These granitoids are located in the Quitéria region, east of ESRG. The GSA form two main, NE-striking intrusions, and several other small ones, mainly within the shear zone croscutting the central portion of the Arroio dos Ratos Complex. The two main bodies are about 14 km long and 2 km wide. To the northwest, the GSA rocks are in contact with Paleoproterozoic metatonalites, metagranodiorites, tonalitic to dioritic gneisses of the Complex, and Neoproterozoic horblende-biotite granodiorites of the Cruzeiro do Sul unit. To the southeast, they are surrounded by tonalitic to dioritic rocks, related to the Neoproterozoic Arroio da Divisa Granitoids. The GSA rocks are composed mainly of porphyritic biotite monzogranites, with about 30% megacrysts of plagioclase and 5 cm long K-feldspar. The medium to coarse grained heterogranular groundmass is composed of microcrystalline ribbon quartz, partially re-crystallized feldspar and biotite. Medium-grained equigranular granodiorite occurs as centimeter to meter- thick bodies, with sparse feldspar megacrysts aligned on the foliation plane. Microgranular mafic enclaves are rarely observed within the GSA rocks. The mylonitic foliation is well-developed and marked by biotite, oriented lenticular megacrysts, as well as quartz ribbons. It strikes E-W and dips at high angles either N or S. The stretching lineation within the foliation shows shallow plunges, preferentially W-SW. A primary igneous foliation is sometimes observed, and it is concordant or sub-concordant with the mylonitic one, and marked by orientation of igneous megacrysts and biotite lamellae. S-C structures, asymetric tails in feldspar porphyroclasts, biotite fish, and asymetric quartz ribbons indicate transcurrent movement with consistent sinistral shear sense. The Sanga do Areal Granitoids show subalkaline medium- to high-K affinity, probably tholeiitic, and trace element composition consistent with sources related to post-collisional settings, which were deformed and controlled by E-NE and NE sub-vertical transcurrent shear zones. A U-Pb age in zircon grains from Sanga do Areal Granitoids of 626.6 ± 4.6Ma ((MSWD=2.2) was obtained and considered coherent with stratigraphic relations.

A primary igneous foliation is sometimes observed, and it is concordant or sub-concordant with the mylonitic one, and marked by orientation of igneous megacrysts and biotite lamellae. S-C structures, asymetric tails in feldspar porphyroclasts, biotite fish, and asymetric quartz ribbons indicate transcurrent movement with consistent sinistral shear sense. The Sanga do Areal Granitoids show subalkaline medium- to high-K affinity, probably tholeiitic, and trace element composition consistent with sources related to post-collisional settings, which were deformed and controlled by E-NE and NE sub-vertical transcurrent shear zones. A U-Pb age in zircon grains from Sanga do Areal Granitoids of 626.6 ± 4.6Ma ((MSWD=2.2) was obtained and considered coherent with stratigraphic relations.

O Domínio Macururé, localizado na porção norte da Faixa de Dobramentos Sergipana, é caracterizado por apresentar um grande volume de granitos (s.l.) de idade Neoproterozóica. O Maciço Glória Norte (MGN), que ocorre na porção centronorte do Domínio Macururé, representa uma das mais importantes intrusões que se colocaram após o pico de deformação e metamorfismo no orógeno (630 Ma). Nesse estudo identificou-se a presença de duas fácies petrográficas nesse maciço: quartzomonzonítica porfirítica, quartzo-monzonítica, além de diques leucocráticos. Os enclaves de diversos tipos, são uma feição recorrente em toda a extensão do maciço, assim como texturas evidenciam a existência do processo de misturas entre magmas. Os estudos microscópicos permitiram a identificação de várias texturas de instabilidade, e uma sequência de cristalização marcada pelo aumento de fluídos ao longo da evolução do magma. Os dados geoquímicos revelam uma afinidade com as rochas da série shoshonítica e seus enclaves exibem afinidade ultrapotássica com conteúdos de MgO e K2O sempre maiores que 3%. Nos diagramas ETR percebeuse um enriquecimento de ETR leves em relação aos pesados, além de fortes anomalias negativas de Ta, Nb, Ti, P, Sr e Eu, principalmente nos enclaves. As temperaturas médias calculadas pelo geotermômetro de Zr revelam que o início da cristalização no MGN se deu entre 810°C e 784°C e teve seu fim entre 730°C e 700°C. A idade obtida através do método U/Pb SHRIMP (588 + 5,2 Ma) posiciona o magmatismo que deu origem ao MGN, no Período Ediacarano, marcando a ocorrência de um magmatismo a 588 Ma, que não foi afetado por eventos tectônicos. / The Domain Macururé located in the northern portion of Sergipano Fold Thrust Belt, is characterized by having a large volume of granites (s.l.) of Neoproterozoic age. The Gloria Norte Massif (GNM), which occurs in the north-central portion of the Domain Macururé, represents a major intrusion that arose after the peak of deformation and metamorphism in the orogen (+ 630 Ma). In this study we identified the presence of two petrographic facies in that massif: quartz-monzonitic porphyritic, quartz-monzonitic and leucocratic dykes. The enclaves, varied tipology, are a recurrent feature in the whole extent of the massif, as well as mixtures of texture of mixing and mingling. Microscopic studies allowed the identification of various textures of the mixing and a sequence of crystallization marked by increased fluids during the evolution of the magma. Geochemical data reveal an affinity with shoshonitic series rocks, and their enclaves exhibit ultrapotassic affinity, wich always show MgO and K2O contents greater than 3%. In the diagrams ETR perceives an enrichment of LREE relative to HREE, and strong negative anomalies of Ta, Nb, Ti, P, Sr, and Eu, mostly in enclaves. The average temperature calculated by Zr geothermometer showed that the onset of MGN crystallization occurred between 810°C and 784°C, and its end was between 730°C and 700°C. The ages obtained by U/Pb SHRIMP (588 + 5.2 Ma) positions the magmatism that gave rise to the MGN, in the Ediacaran and this age mark the occurrence of a magmatism (588 Ma), which was not significantly affected by tectonic events.
