Em orógenos colisionais, normalmente balizam os distintos terrenos dispondo-se em corredores estruturais. Na região nordeste do Cráton São Francisco, Bloco Serrinha, localiza-se o Greenstone Belt Paleoproterozoico do Rio Itapicuru, interpretado como arco continental acrecionado a um Complexo de alto grau mesoarqueano. Mapeamento geológico realizado no segmento norte da transiçao, embasamento-greenstone, revelou a ocorrência de um domo gnáissico-migmatítico que limita dois terrenos, um arqueano e outro paleoproterozoico, que destoa litoestruturalmente de outros domos reconhecidos a sul do greenstone (e.g. domos do Ambrósio, Salgadália e Pedra Alta). Além disso, dados estruturais mostram que a evolução tectônica da área ocorreu a partir de tectônica compressiva em D1 com direção E-W, seguido de transcorrência N-S em D2, possivelmente associados a transpressão. O domo, denominado Alto Alegre, possui núcleo granito-diatexítico, sendo delineado por faixas anfibolíticas concêntricas e preserva paragênese de alto grau metamórfico. Análises de elementos maiores e traços revelam que as faixas de anfibolitos do referido domo possuem características geoquímicas semelhantes aos diques máficos que cortam o embasamento, e destoam dos basaltos toleíticos do greenstone belt. Dados geocronológicos e de campo revelam idades de ca. 3080 Ma para o embasamento arqueano e para gnaisses do domo Alto Alegre, e idades de ca. 2080 Ma para o granito que intrude a porção central do domo. Os dados mostram que o domo Alto Alegre representa o embasamento arqueano retrabalhado tectonicamente e influenciado por atividade granítica, durante colisão continente-continente em ca. 2080 Ma / Abstract: Gneiss domes are structures that may be associated with both extensional and collisional orogens. In collisional orogens typically delimit distinct land forming structural corridors. In northeastern of São Francisco craton, Serrinha Block, is located the Paleoproterozoic Rio Itapicuru Greenstone Belt which is interpreted as a continental arc acrecionado to a Mesoarqueano high degree Complex. Geological mapping carried out in the northern segment of the greenstone-basement transition, revealed the occurrence of a gneissic-migmatitic dome that limits two lands, one Archean and another Paleoproterozoic. This dome is different both on litology as structuraly when comparing with other domes recognized in a south of the greenstone (e.g., domes of Ambrose, Salgadália and Pedra Alta). Furthermore, structural data show that the tectonic evolution of the area occurred from compressive tectonics E-W in D1, followed by transcurrent N-S in D2, possibly associated with transpression. The dome, called Alto Alegre, has granite-diatexítico core being outlined by concentric amphibolitic bands that preserves high metamorphic grade paragenesis. Results of major and trace elements analyzes reveal that the amphibolites bands of dome has geochemical characteristics similar to mafic dikes that cut the basement, and differ from Rio Itapicuru greenstone belt basalts. Geochronological and field data reveal ages ca. 3080 Ma for the Archean basement and the dome Alto Alegre gneisses, and ages of ca 2080 Ma for the granite that intrude the central portion of the dome. The data show that the dome Alto Alegre represents the tectonically reworked Archean basement and influenced by granite activity during continent-continent collision at ca 2080 Ma / Mestrado / Geologia e Recursos Naturais / Mestre em Geociências

The Mazatzal orogeny (1.66-1.60 Ga) is a key element of the tectonic evolution of the North American continent during the Proterozoic (Whitmeyer and Karlstrom, 2007). Recently, Mesoproterozoic detrital zircon grains (1.55-1.45 Ga) have been found in metasedimentary rocks that were thought to have been deformed during the Paleoproterozoic Mazatzal orogeny (Jones et al. 2011; Doe et al. 2012, 2013; Daniel et al. 2013). Some type examples Mazatzal deformation now seem to be too young to have been deformed in the accepted time of that orogeny (1.66-1.60 Ga) and may have been deformed in the younger, newly defined, Picuris orogeny. This leads to questions regarding the timing and nature of the Mazatzal orogeny and its importance in the evolution of the North American continent. The object of this research is to constrain the timing of deformation related to the Mazatzal and Picuris orogenies and clarify the Proterozoic history of the North American continent. The Four Peaks area in central Arizona has been selected as an ideal location to tightly constrain the timing of deformation. The area hosts a package of Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks that are folded into a kilometer-scale syncline, surrounded by vi Mesoproterozoic to Paleoproterozoic granitoids. The Four Peaks syncline has been considered a type example of Mazatzal-age deformation (Karlstrom and Bowring, 1988). Zircon and monazite geochronology are presented along with structural and petrologic data in order to understand the geologic history of the Four Peaks area. The evidence suggests that three deformation events occurred at ~1675 Ma, 1665-1655 Ma and 1490-1450 Ma. Sedimentary deposition occurred 1665-1655 Ma and 1520-1490 Ma with a significant disconformity in between these episodes. Both the Mazatzal and Picuris orogenies can be associated with periods of deformation, sedimentary deposition and pluton emplacement. The most significant shortening event, which formed the Four Peaks syncline, occurred during Mesoproterozoic time and was related to the Picuris orogeny.

A parte central de Moçambique foi marcada por eventos episódicos consistindo de granitogênese mesoproterozóico e neoproterozóico, magmatismo neoproterozóico, sedimentação neoproterozóica e magmatismo cambriano. Estes eventos produziram unidades geológicas cujas relações espaciais e temporais tem sido controversas no que se refere à Suíte de Guro e ao Complexo de Bárue. Alguns autores defendem a existência de duas unidades geológicas distintas e outros incorporavam a Suite de Guro no Complexo de Bárue formando assim uma e única unidade geológica. Dentro deste contexto este trabalho tenta dar uma melhoria no modelo geocronológico/tectônico das rochas graníticas do Complexo de Bárue e da Suíte de Guro utilizando dados geocronológicos U-Pb SHRIMP em zircão e idades Sm-Nd modelo manto empobrecido (\'T IND.DM\' ), caracterizando as suas respectivas fontes e evoluções tectono-magmáticas com base na geoquímica isotópica Sr e Nd em rocha total e em dados litogeoquímicos em rocha total. Estes dados em conjunto com as informações geológicas e geocronológicas disponíveis na literatura permitiram modelar a evolução da crosta continental da região central de Moçambique. O modelo proposto aponta para eventos de cristalização magmática mesoproterozóico, neoproterozóico e cambriano e de sedimentação neoproterozóico. Em adição, apartir dos dados obtidos e das informações das ocorrências minerais disponíveis para a área de estudo, foi feita a correlação dos processos ígneos e metamórficos relacionados à evolução tectono-magmática dos granitóides com as suas respectivas especializações metalogenêticas, visando o estabelecimento de critérios de prospectividade regional para exploração mineral. Alguns eventos relacionados com intrusão de veios pegmatíticos e alteração de rochas pré-existentes são responsáveis pelas mineralizações na área de estudo. / The central part of Mozambique was marked by Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic granite genesis events followed by Neoproterozoic sedimentation events and Cambrian magmatism. These events produced geological units whose spatial relationship has been controversial in regard to the Guro Suite and the Bárue Complex. Some authors advocate the existence of two distinct geological units and other embodied the Guro Suite in the Bárue complex thus forming one and the same geological unit. Within this context, this work tries to give an improvement in geochronological pattern of granitic rocks of the Bárue Magmatic Arc and Guro Suite using geochronological U-Pb SHRIMP data on zircons and Sm-Nd depleted mantle model ages (\'T IND.DM\'), characterizing their respective sources and tectonic-magmatic evolution based on whole rock Sr and Nd isotope geochemistry and whole rock Lithogeochemical data. These data together with the geological and geochronological data available in the literature allowed modeling the evolution of the continental crust of central Mozambique. The proposed model points to Mesoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, and Cambrian magmatic crystallization events and followed by Neoproterozoic sedimentation. In addition, from the obtained data and information of mineral occurrences available for the study area, the correlation of igneous and metamorphic processes related to tectonic and magmatic evolution of the granitoids with their respective metallogenetic specialization was made, aiming to establish a regional prospective solutions for mineral exploration. Some events related to pegmatitic veins intrusion and alteration of preexisting rocks are responsible for the mineralization in the study area.

La chronologie de la formation de la croûte continentale est débattue mais la plupart des modèles convergent sur le fait qu'une bonne partie de la croûte continentale présente à la surface de la Terre aujourd'hui est présente depuis le Protérozoïque (2,5 - 0, 54 Ga) et qu'elle a essentiellement subit un remaniement au cours d'orogénèses. L'uranium, qui est un élément incompatible, est un traceur de cette évolution depuis son fractionnement initial par fusion partielle du manteau jusqu'à son remaniement dans les niveaux crustaux supérieurs. La ceinture orogénique Néoprotérozoïque Pan-africaine (0,5 ± 0,1 Ga) du Damara en Namibie constitue une cible géologique pour tester les relations entre croissance / évolution crustale et métallogénie de l'uranium. Elle s'est formée suite à la collision des cratons archéens du Congo et du Kalahari (plaque subductante). Ce travail de thèse montre que l'évolution de la croute continentale de la ceinture du Damara durant l'orogènese Pan-africaine au Néoprotérozoïque se fait par remaniement de roches ayant été extraites du manteau depuis l'Archéen et que leur fusion partielle est le mécanisme prépondérant pour la minéralisation uranifère primaire associée à la cristallisation de granites intrusifs. Les granites in-situ issus de la fusion partielle des sédiments dans les niveaux crustaux supérieurs sont peu ou pas propices à de fortes concentrations d'uranium du fait 1) de la faible préconcentration de leur protolithes et 2) de leur migration relativement limitée. Les granites intrusifs minéralisés correspondent à des injections tardi- à post-collision (ca. 520 - 480 Ma dans la zone centrale) et sont liés aux phases de relaxation thermique et d'effondrement gravitaire subséquentes à l'épaississement crustal de l'orogène dans un contexte de convergence de plaques / The chronology of continental crust formation is debated but most models converge on the fact that much of the continental crust on the surface of the Earth is present since the Proterozoic (2.5 - 0, 54 Ga) and has essentially undergoes reworking during orogenesises. Uranium which is an incompatible element is a tracer of this crustal evolution, since its initial fractionation by partial melting of the mantle to its reworking in higher crustal levels. Neoproterozoic Pan-African (0.5 ± 0.1 Ga) orogenic belt of the Damara in Namibia is a good geological target to test the relationship between crustal growth and evolution and metallogeny of uranium. It was formed after the collision of the Archean cratons of Congo and Kalahari (subducting plate). This thesis shows that the evolution of the continental crust during the Neoproterozoic Damara Orogen is by reworking of Archaean to Neoproterozoic crustal domains and partial melting of rocks is the predominant mechanism for primary uranium mineralization associated with crystallization of intrusive granites derived from anatexis of paleo- to mesoproterozoic basement fragments. The intrusive granites issued from partial melting of sediments in the upper crustal levels are low or not favorable to high concentrations of uranium because of 1) the low preconcentration of their protoliths and 2) their relatively limited migration. The mineralized intrusive granites correspond to late- to post-collision injections (ca. 520-480 Ma in the central area) and are related to thermal relaxation phases and gravitational collapse subsequent to thickening in crustal orogen in a context of plates convergence

The Proterozoic Espanola Formation (Huronian Sequence) was studied at Geneva Lake, Ontario, 45 miles north-west of Sudbury. A major lithological change exists in the Espanola Formation between this area and the type section on the north shore of Lake Huron, 75 miles to the south. Unusually pure (95 percent) microcrystalline limestones and dolostones occur in almost equal abundance to the calcareous siltstones which are the characteristic lithology of the formation in its type section. The existence and position of a fine grained deposit such as the Espanola in a stratigraphic sequence which consists mostly of glacial and periglacial deposits is unusual. It is suggested that this fine-grained deposit was an integral part of a cycle of deposition resulting from glacial advance and retreat and that its sedimentary basin was created by marine transgression in response to a glacial retreat. Spatial distribution of the Espanola Formation suggests that its sedimentary basin may have consisted of at least three environmental zones. At least one of these zones may represent a glacial melt-water lake. A microfossil search was carried out with negative results. This made speculation necessary in determining the origin of the calcareous fraction of the Espanola Formation. A mechanism is suggested whereby calcium carbonate is precipitated inorganically, as a result of photosynthesis by anaerobic bacteria. This mechanism can be observed in the present. If it is true, then the Espanola Formation may represent a time marker for the first presence of free oxygen in the atmosphere. / Thesis / Bachelor of Science (BSc)

O registro proterozóico da Fazenda Funil, região de Cabeceiras, GO, inclui três unidades sedimentares: carbonatos do topo do Grupo Paranoá, níveis de diamictito da Formação Jequitaí, e um pacote de folhelhos, ritmitos de margas e folhelhos e carbonatos da Formação Sete Lagoas. As três unidades registram ocorrência de sílex microfossilífero, encontrados na forma de lentes no Grupo Paranoá, seixos na Formação Jequitaí e uma camada de aproximadamente 600 m de extensão na Formação Sete Lagoas. A semelhança do sílex nas três unidades levou ao questionamento da estratigrafia da Fazenda Funil e da origem dos seixos na Formação Jequitaí, se esta origem foi, de fato, sedimentar (glacial) ou se teria sido tectônico. Foram comparadas as tramas petrográficas (fabrics) do sílex das três unidades, aspectos inorgânicos (minerais, estruturas sedimentares e estruturas diagenéticas) e o seu conteúdo orgânico (microfósseis e características da matéria orgânica). A análise das amostras revelou grande semelhança entre as tramas e seus microfósseis. Nas três unidades foram identificados os mesmos tipos de tramas cinco tipos e 12 táxons de microfósseis, sendo que dois deles ainda não haviam sido identificados na região. Conclui-se que a camada de sílex atualmente atribuída à Formação Sete Lagoas foi a fonte dos seixos de sílex do diamictito da Formação Jequitaí e representa, na verdade, uma lasca tectônica do Grupo Paranoá colocada dentro do Grupo Bambuí durante a deformação brasiliana. Esta camada teria sido erodido e o diamictito depositado presumivelmente durante a glaciação Sturtiana, embora outras evidências glaciais não fossem observadas na Fazenda Funil. Este trabalho, além de esclarecer as relações estratigráficas na Fazenda Funil, demonstrou que microfósseis pré-cambrianos podem ser uma ferramenta muito útil no entendimento de bacias proterozoicas. / The Proterozoic record of the Fazenda Funil, near Cabeceiras, GO, includes three sedimentary units: carbonate at the top of Paranoá Group, diamictite of the Jequitaí Formation, and a succession of shale, marl-shale rhythmites, and carbonate of the Sete Lagoas Formation. Microfossiliferous chert occurs in these three units in the form of lenses in the Paranoá Group, clasts within the diamictites of the Jequitaí Formation and as a persistent, 600 meter-long layer in the Sete Lagoas Formation. The similarity of the chert from these three units brings up crucial questions as to the stratigraphy of the Fazenda Funil and the origin of the clasts in the Jequitaí Formation : are they, in fact, of sedimentary (glacial) or tectonic origin? Comparisons among the three units were made of chert fabrics, inorganic aspects (minerals, sedimentary and diagenetic structures), and organic content (microfossils and general characteristics of the organic matter). The analysis of several samples revealed great similarity between the fabrics and microfossils in the three units. Five fabrics and 12 microfossil taxons were identified, two taxons for the first time in the region. These observations led to the conclusion that the chert layer presently attributed to the Sete Lagoas Formation was the source of the chert clasts in the Jequitaí Formation and represents is a slice of the Paranoá Group introduced tectonically within the Bambuí Group during Brasiliano deformation. This layer was eroded and the diamictite deposited presumably during the Sturtian glaciation, even though other evidence of glaciation were not observed on Fazenda Funil. This research, besides clarifying stratigraphic relationships on Fazenda Funil, also demonstrates that Precambrian microfossils can be a very useful tool in research on Proterozoic basins.
