Desse modo, enveredamos por uma reflexão das representações sociais, atentando para as estratégias discursivas utilizadas sobre e na cidade, utilizando-as como instrumentos de valor patrimonial. Assim, problematizamos a construção de uma patrimonialização cultural dos “Pessoas” nas décadas postas, oriundas do arcabouço de lugares de memórias fundados e articulados aos sujeitos daquela família. Investigar o trabalho de edificação dos sujeitos patrimônio nos possibilitou debater o não-lugar que a produção estratégica deixara. Desta feita a pesquisa desemboca no debate sobre o esquecimento e os silenciamentos a esteirado projeto memorial. A engrenagem da escrita é movida principalmente pelas ideias de (CERTEAU,1982) na reflexão sobre estratégias e táticas, bem como na sua análise sobre lugar e não lugar social. Também nos move o pensamento de (BORGES,2010) sobre patrimonialização de pessoas. Portanto, seguimos os rastros deixados pelos jornais e fotografias os analisando e buscando a compreensão de como as décadas de 1930 e 1940 produziram um lugar memorial para a Família Pessoa ao mesmo tempo que produziram um esquecimento excludente de muitos que integravam o município de Umbuzeiro-PB.

This thesis presents the rationale, design and outcomes of an action research study carried out in Northeast Brazil on the continuing professional development (CPD) of teachers of English as a second language (ESL). Municipal ESL teachers in Northeast Brazil are faced with problems such as the scarcity or lack of resources; lack of opportunities for CPD courses; lack of attention to English on the part of the government; and classes which are too large. In my action research a CPD course was designed and delivered to 20 in-service municipal ESL teachers. The course has had the purpose of providing those teachers with an opportunity to improve their own linguistic skills and confidence as teachers of English writing, and of equipping them to find longer term solutions for the challenges they encounter in their practice. It was based on reflective practice and related professional development theory (Dewey, 1933; Freire, 1972, 1974; Mann and Walsh, 2013; Schön, 1983; Allwright, 2003; Guskey, 2000; Jay and Johnson, 2002), with a focus on writing and creativity (Harmer, 2007; Hyland, 2003; Zemach and Rumisek, 2005; Raimes, 1983a, 1983b, 2002, Moon, 2008; Pavlenko, 2002). The study was guided by the key research question: “How can a continuing professional development course grounded in reflective practice with a focus on writing impact Northeast Brazil ESL teachers’ attitudes and planning?” The tools utilised to address the key question and other related sub- questions were in-class pieces of writing, and workshops carried out in the course for design of teaching materials, as well as focus groups, interviews, and class discussions. Results show that even though teachers are faced with scarcity of resources in their teaching, they could respond to opportunities for professional reflection, and were also willing to plan more engaging, creative and meaningful activities. However, some found it hard to leave behind traditional practices involving the teaching of fragmented language, with no opportunity for contextualized writing. The analysed results show encouraging signs that teachers working in difficult circumstances can benefit from the opportunity to share ideas and together design teaching materials applicable in their context, and that dialogical intervention in the CPD course is the right path to foster teachers’ professional development in unfavourable settings.

The Primary MFL curriculum (DfE, 2013: 1-3) calls for the development of reading and writing in a foreign language in primary schools. Specific attainment targets refer to “accurate reading aloud for understanding” and the ability to “describe people, places, things and actions orally and in writing” (DfE, 2013: 2). Research, however, has shown both the teaching and learning of MFL literacy to be most problematic. Observation-derived evidence noted that writing was the “least developed skill” in primary MFL provision (Ofsted, 2011: 10, 25) and that written work tended to provide consolidation and support for oral learning (Cable, Driscoll, Mitchell, Sing, Cremin, Earl, Eyres, Holmes, Martin & Heins, 2010: 87). Meanwhile, empirical evidence holds that a lack achievement and motivation in school-based language learning is a reflection of limited progression in second language literacy and decoding (Erler, 2003; Macaro & Erler, 2008; 2011). Despite these findings, research has yet to identify teaching and learning approaches which could shape pedagogical practice and deliver the “substantial progress” that the curriculum expects (DfE, 2013: 2). This action research study, conducted over 23 weeks, presents an empirically-derived, principled and systematic approach to teaching MFL literacy and oracy simultaneously. Qualitative and quantitative data, collected throughout the intervention and at pre-, post- and delayed post-test allowed for both detailed statistical analyses of learning outcomes and the exploration of the learning process. The study finds that, in this beginner learner setting, MFL oracy is not disrupted by the simultaneous introduction of MFL literacy. It notes that both L1 reading age and verbal working memory proficiency are highly influential in L2 oracy and literacy learning but reports that learners across the L1 ability range can participate in L2 learning and make meaningful progress. It further suggests that the development of L2 sound/spelling links (through systematic phonics instruction) is slow and that familiar words are more likely to be successfully recoded. These findings together ii with evidence of an ever-dominant L1, support an argument for an early start to MFL literacy.

My aim in this thesis is to consider language policy and minority languages from the viewpoint of postmodernism – a theoretical framework that has much to offer beyond mere explanation and support for the concepts of diversity and pluralism. I argue there is a shortage of texts that interrogate language policy from a postmodern perspective – notwithstanding the contributions of a relatively small group of linguists including Pennycook (2000, 2006), Wright (2000, 2004), Cameron (1995) and Edwards (1985-2003). Thus, I combine some arguments from the domain of postmodernism articulated by theorists such as Foucault (1980), Lyotard (1997), and Connor (2004) with other arguments from the fields of language policy, language ideology and minority language rights formulated by theorists such as Phillipson (1993, 2003), Crystal (2000, 2003). In the first chapter I consider how language policy and planning has developed as a subject of academic inquiry since World War II. In the second chapter I focus on a primary objective for language policymakers, namely minority language maintenance. I conclude that characteristics and trends associated with postmodernism are neither wholly supportive nor wholly unsupportive of minority language maintenance. In the third chapter, I concentrate on the minority language Welsh, tentatively concluding that a truly bilingual Wales is not achievable. In this fourth chapter, I analyse findings from my ethnographic research into Welsh language usage in Newport. I tentatively conclude once more that the Welsh Assembly Government’s bilingual objective is unachievable. Finally, I argue that postmodernism is a useful theoretical perspective for academics in the field of language policy and planning.

Posicionados neste contexto encontram-se os depósitos de Irecê (BA), Serra do Ramalho (BA) e Montalvânia (MG), todos encaixados em sedimentos carbonáticos neoproterozóicos. Diversas características, são comuns a esses depósitos. As rochas hospedeiras das mineralizações são dolarenitos, normalmente silicificados, posicionadas numa seqüência regressiva em fácies evaporíticas de águas rasas, caracterizando a presença de um controle litológico do minério. O minério sulfetado é constituído predominantemente por galena, esfalerita e pirita, com quantidades variáveis entre os depósitos, ocorrendo principalmente de forma disseminada, em bolsões e veios, cujos minerais de ganga são essencialmente dolomita, calcita, quartzo e barita, caracterizados como tipo stratabound, tardi-diagenética a epigenética, e também sin-sedimentar em Irecê. O controle estrutural, decorrente da reativação de antigas falhas e fraturas NW-SE do embasamento durante e após a sedimentação da bacia (evento Brasiliano/Panafricano) foi responsável pela circulação dos fluidos hidrotermais através de um extenso sistema hidrodinâmico em diferentes tempos durante o soterramento das unidades permeáveis, gerando dolomitização, silicificação, dissolução/colapso e mineralização nas rochas encaixantes. Todas as áreas estudadas apresentam temperaturas moderadas e mesma composição dos fluidos (sistema NaClCaCl2-H2O) com salinidades baixas a moderadas, indicando que os fluidos mineralizantes possuiam capacidades similares de lixiviação e transporte dos metais, sendo portanto a fonte dos metais e a tectônica da bacia os fatores diferenciais na formação do minério em cada depósito. As assinaturas isotópicas de chumbo determinadas em cada área são muito distintas, porém homogêneas, indicando uma consistência com a origem em uma única fonte para cada depósito ou com múltiplas fontes bem homogeneizadas, com exceção de Irecê (IL) que possui baixa homogeneidade, associada provavelmente a uma mistura de fontes. O elevado caráter radiogênico das razões isotópicas de Pb nos depósitos estudados fornecem idades futuras para as mineralizações e idades Arqueana/Paleoproterozóica para fonte em Serra do Ramalho e Irecê respectivamente, obtidas através de isócronas secundárias. Em Montalvânia, apesar de detectados valores menos radiogênicos do chumbo não foi possível a obtenção de espalhamento suficiente para gerar uma isócrona, o que pode refletir (i) uma fonte em rochas do embasamento menos radiogênica, inclusive com contribuição de chumbo ligado mais fortemente à estrutura do mineral hospedeiro, lixiviado devido a um maior tempo de interação fluido-rocha, ou (ii) uma mistura com chumbo menos radiogênico proveniente de sedimentos sobrejacentes às rochas do embasamento. A distribuição geográfica das razões isotópicas de Pb obtidas nas áreas estudadas dentro das Bacias São Francisco (MontalvâniaÎSerra do Ramalho / MZÎCAÎLBX) e Irecê (MGÎIL), mostra uma tendência de enriquecimento radiogênico no sentido de sul para norte. Essa distribuição corrobora a indicação de diferentes rochasfonte ou mistura de fontes, assim como a presença de rochas-fonte mais antigas ao sul das bacias. Entretanto, a linearidade das razões de 206/207Pb sugere uma mistura de fontes para os depósitos estudados. Quando se correlacionam as assinaturas isotópicas de enxofre, com as razões isotópicas de Pb obtidas nas galenas de cada depósito estudado, nota-se uma relação inversa, caracterizada por duas tendências em que: (1) razões isotópicas de chumbo geralmente mais altas são mais variáveis que as de enxofre, que possuem assinaturas mais pesadas, e (2) razões isotópicas de chumbo menos radiogênicas possuem um menor espalhamento e relaciona-se com razões isotópicas de enxofre mais leves e relativamente mais dispersas. Esses trends exibem ainda uma diferença entre os valores máximos e mínimos das razões isotópicas de enxofre iguais e da ordem de 13‰ CDT, sugerindo uma relação comum entre suas fontes e entre as condições químicas de formação dos sulfetos. Além disso, o trend que possui menor variação de Pb que enxofre vincula-se a depósitos com valores modais de salinidades e temperaturas mais elevados, os quais possuem condição mais efetiva para lixiviação e transporte de metais, inclusive em minerais com razões mais baixas de Pb. A relação inversa entre S e Pb nos diferentes depósitos sugere que uma pequena parte do enxofre foi transportada junto com os metais, e a influência de um evento mineralizador de grande escala regulado pelo efeito da tectônica global atuante nas bacias, guardando as particularidades inerentes a cada ambiente de deposição. As assinaturas isotópicas de enxofre de sulfetos e sulfatos em Serra do Ramalho-Montalvânia mostram-se homogêneas e altamente positivas indicando a água do mar em ambiente restrito como fonte do enxofre. As temperaturas moderadas encontradas indicam a redução termoquímica como processo de redução do sulfato. A determinação da causa do movimento dos fluidos mineralizantes, embora exija ainda mais estudos é sugerida nesse trabalho como sendo resultante possivelmente, do soterramento de rochas permeáveis afetadas por uma tectônica extensional em um período onde o grau geotérmico da Terra era mais elevado (~50°C/km), sendo capaz de propiciar a movimentação de um extensivo sistema hidrodinâmico, no qual a migração dos fluidos (aquecidos e salinizados) em larga escala foram fundamentais nos processos de dolomitização, silicificação, dissolução hidrotermal e mineralização. / ABSTRACT The São Francisco Craton contains many small zinc and lead deposits, related to Una and Bambuí Groups belonging to the Bambuí Supergroup. In this context occur the neoproterozoic carbonate-hosted Irecê (BA), Serra do Ramalho (BA) and Montalvânia (MG) deposits, which share many characteristics. The host rocks are silicified dolarenite, placed in a shallow marine regressive sequence in the evaporitic facies, typifying a lithologic control of the ore. The sulfide mineralization is predominantly formed by galena, sphalerite and pyrite, with variable amounts among the deposits. They occur mainly in disseminated and veins form, within gangue minerals formed by dolomite, calcite, quartz and barite, characterized as stratabound late-diagenetic to epigenetic type. In Irecê, they are synsedimentary. The structural control is due to reactivated basement NW-SE ancient faults and fractures, during and after basin sedimentation (Pan African-Brasiliano Tectonic Cycle). It is responsible for circulation of hydrothermal fluids through a huge hydrodynamic system in different times during the burial of the permeable units, developing the dolomitization, silicification, dissolution/collapse and mineralization processes of the host rocks. In all the studied areas, moderate temperatures and similar fluid compositions (NaCl-CaCl2-H2O system) with low to moderate salinities were recorded, suggesting that the mineralized fluids of each studied area show similar potential of leaching and transportation of metals reflecting the metal source and the basin tectonics as differential factors in ore formation for each deposit. The lead isotopic data collected are very different in individual studied area, but in general they are homogeneous, suggesting a single source for individual deposit or multiple homogeneous sources, except Irecê (IL), which has low homogeneity, possibly associated with a source mixture. The high radiogenic character of the Pb isotopic ratios in the studies deposits provide future ages for the mineralization and Archean/Paleoproterozoic age for source in Serra do Ramalho and Irecê deposits, obtained by secondary isochrons. The lower Pb radiogenic values in Montalvânia were not sufficient to obtain dispersion for producing isochrons. This can be caused by (i) less radiogenic basement rocks with lead contribution from the mineral host structure, leached due to the long time of fluid-rock interaction, or (ii) mixture with less radiogenic lead derived from the overlaying sediments. The geographic distribution of Pb isotopic ratios obtained in the studied areas within São Francisco Basin (Montalvânia Î Serra do Ramalho / Zezinho Mine Î Campo Alegre Î Lajeado de Baixo) and Irecê ( MG Î IL) display a enrichment of light isotopes (32S) from south to north characterizing a trend. This distribution agrees with the different source-rocks or source-mixture, as well as old source-rock situated at the south of the basins. However, the linearity of the 206/207Pb ratios suggests a source of mixture from the studied deposits. When one correlates the sulfur isotopic signatures, with the Pb isotopic ratios obtained in galenas of individual deposits it is observed an inverse relationship, characterized by two trends: (1) lead isotopic ratios, general higher and more variable than the sulfur isotopic ratios, which have heavier signatures (2) lead isotopic ratios less radiogenic show a minor spreading and are related with sulfur isotopic ratios lighter and relatively more dispersed. These trends also display a coincident difference between the maximum and minimum of sulfur values in the order of 13‰ CDT, suggesting a common relationship among their sources and the chemical conditions of sulfide formation. Moreover, the trend that shows less lead variation than sulfur is related to deposits with high salinities and temperatures, which would have elevated capability to leach and transport, including minerals with lower Pb ratios. The inverse relationship between S and Pb in the different deposits suggests that a small part of the sulfur was transported together with metals, and the influence for the mineralization event of large scale controlled by global tectonic effect in the basins, preserving the particularities of each deposition environment. The sulfur isotopic signatures of sulfides and sulfates in Serra do Ramalho-Montalvânia areas are homogeneous and highly positive indicating sea water in restricted environments for sulfur source. The moderate temperatures suggest a thermochemical reduction as the formation process of sulfate. The driving-force of the hydrothermal fluids involved in mineralization has been yet subject of considerable debate. However, the collect data of this study suggests that the burial of permeable sequences affected by extensional tectonic during a period of higher geothermal gradient (~50°C/km), was able to put in movement a large hydrodynamic system, where a warm and saline fluid migration in a huge scale were very important in the dolomitization, silicification, hydrothermal dissolution and mineralization processes.

The Higdon deposit is located on the east flank of the St. Francois Mountains, approximately 11.5 km NE of Fredericktown, MO in the Mine LaMotte-Fredericktown district of the world renown Southeast Missouri (SEMO) region of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposits. It was discovered in the 1950s and an attempt to mine the deposit was made in the 1960s. In the 2000s the importance of the Higdon deposit increased after extensive exploration by The Doe Run Mining Co. revealed a larger deposit, greater Ni-Co content than initially estimated and the presence of a low grade Unconformity-type Uranium deposit, similar to those of the Athabasca Basin in Canada. The overall paragenetic sequence, stratigraphy and stratigraphic controls of the Higdon deposit resembles those present in other SEMO MVT deposits located at the east flank of the St. Francois Mountains. The stratigraphy includes the Cambrian formations: Eminence, Potosi, Derby-Doe Run, Davis, Bonneterre and Lamotte which unconformably overlies Precambrian granitic intrusions. A common feature is the presence of collapse breccias especially at the base of the Bonneterre Formation and a relatively thin Lamotte Formation. Fine-grained, disseminated sulfides of Fe, Pb, Zn, Co and Ni are hosted in the lower one third of the Bonneterre Formation and upper two thirds of the Lamotte Formation, in a series of grainstone beds, open spaces in collapse breccias, near pinch outs of the Lamotte Formation against basement highs. Disseminations and nodules of pitchblende (uraninite) occur through the entire Lamotte Formation. The Higdon deposit differs in several important ways from the deposits of the Viburnum Trend on the west flank of the St. Francois Mountains. These differences include a distinctly lower stratigraphic interval of collapse breccias and mineralization, greater abundance of Co-Ni minerals, presence of pitchblende, and a significant fault control of mineralization. Several regionally extensive high angle faults aligned parallel to the NW-striking Simms Mountain and Mine LaMotte fault systems bound the deposit, especially the high Ni-Co-U portion. Petrographic and microprobe studies at Higdon revealed a mineral paragenetic sequence of uraninite (pitchblende, within a carbon matrix), pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, bravoite, siegenite, gerdorsffite, sphalerite and galena. These minerals were deposited in four different stages: (1) a U dominated stage that precipitated the pitchblende during Early Ordovician to Permian time; (2) a Fe sulfide dominated sulfide characterized by pyrite, marcasite and bravoite; (3) a Cu-Co-Ni stage dominated by chalcopyrite and siegenite, and (4) a Zn-Pb stage characterized by the precipitation of sphalerite and galena. Precambrian uraniferous granitic intrusions in the vicinity of the Higdon deposit supplied the U for the pitchblende mineralization. At Higdon the U mineralization represents an overlapping deposit in an otherwise MVT system. This required leaching by fluids migrating through the basement along high angle faults and U precipitation in a reducing environment as the fluids encountered the Lamotte Formation. The Ni and Co were possibly leached from mafic and ultramafic intrusions along the Reelfoot Rift or from the Precambrian basement and transported to the Higdon area by fluids migrating along the regional NW-trending faults. Mixing with connate Pb-Zn brines moving laterally through the Lamotte Sandstone and other permeable units may have triggered the sulfide precipitation. Finally, the Higdon deposit is anomalous in the tonnage and grade of its Ni-Co resource (0.17 % Ni, 0.14 % Co) with significant values contained in siegenite (30.9 % Ni, 23.9 % Co), bravoite (0.04 % Ni, 6.3 % Co), gerdorsffite (26.1 % Ni, 8.0 % Co) and marcasite-pyrite (0.3 % Ni, 0.2 % Co).

O depósito do Morro dos Seis Lagos (DMSL) é o maior depósito de Nb até hoje encontrado. A mineralização é laterítica, ocorrendo associada ao corpo principal do Complexo Carbonatítico Seis Lagos (CCSL). Este trabalho apresenta resultados da datação U-Pb (por MC-ICP-MS com LASER acoplado) de zircões de sete amostras abrangendo todos os tipos litológicos conhecidos no CCSL/DMSL: rocha encaixante (gnaisse), veio de feldspato na encaixante, siderita carbonatito (3 amostras) e crostas ferruginosas mineralizadas em Nb (2 amostras). Os zircões do gnaisse e do veio de feldspato forneceram idades de, respectivamente, 1.826 ± 9 Ma e 1.839 ± 29 Ma, as quais mostram que a litofácies Tarsira do Complexo Cauaburi (o embasamento do Domínio Imeri na Província Rio Negro) é de 16 Ma a 29 Ma mais antiga do que o anteriormente suposto. Os zircões de duas amostras de carbonatito forneceram idades de 1.837 ± 8 Ma e 1.841 ± 7 Ma, as mais antigas encontradas no Domínio Imeri no Brasil, interpretadas como relacionadas a rochas profundas, cujos zircões foram capturados pelo magma carbonatitico durante sua ascensão A idade de 1.818 ± 8 Ma obtida em zircões da crosta pisolítica indica que o Complexo Cauaburi foi uma importante fonte para os clastos presentes nesta crosta. A idade de 1.873 ± 70 em zircões da crosta fragmentada pode indicar que rochas mais antigas, de outra provincia, também participaram como fonte de clastos para a cobertura laterítica do CCSL. Os zircões de uma amostra de carbonatito da parte central do corpo forneceram duas idades: 1.841 ± 7 Ma e 1.457 ± 71 Ma. Esta última idade é interpretada como a idade máxima do CCSL. Análises por microssonda eletrônica indicam que os zircões mesoproterozoicos têm alguma afinidade com carbonatito. A possibilidade do CCSL ter uma idade mesoproterozoica é discutida à luz do atual conhecimento da evolução geológica da Província Rio Negro, concluindo-se por uma relação com a evolução do Cinturão K’Mudku. / The Morro dos Seis Lagos deposit (MSLD) is the world’s largest Nb-deposit. The lateritic mineralization occurs associated to the major body of the Seis Lagos Carbonatite Complex (SLCC). This paper presents results of U-Pb dating (by MC-ICP-MS, coupled to LASER) of zircons from seven samples that cover all of the known lithotypes in the SLCC/MSLD: host rock (gneiss), feldspar/kaolin intercalation in the host rock, siderite carbonatite (3 samples), and ferriferous Nb-mineralized crust (2 samples). Zircons from the gneiss and the feldspathic vein provided ages of 1.826 ± 9 Ma and 1.839 ± 29 Ma, respectively, which implies that the lithofacies Tarsira of the Cauaburi Complex (the basement of the Imeri Domain in the Rio Negro Province) is 16 Ma to 29 Ma older than previously supposed. Zircons from two carbonatite samples provided ages of 1.837 ± 8 Ma and 1.841 ± 7 Ma which are interpreted as ages of deeper host rocks whose zircons were extracted by the rising carbonatitic magma The age of 1.818 ± 8 Ma obtained in zircons from the pisolitic crust indicate the Cauaburi Complex as the main source of clasts for this crust. The age of 1.873 ± 70 in zircons from the fragmented crust may indicate that rocks from another province older than the Rio Negro Province also contributed as source of clasts to the SLCC lateritic cover. The zircons of a carbonatite sample from the central part of the carbonatite body yield two ages: 1.841 ± 7 Ma and 1.457 ± 71 Ma. The late age is interpreted as the maximum age of the SLCC. Analysis by electron microprobe reveals some evidences that the mid-Proterozoic zircons could be carbonatite zircons. The possible age of 1.457 Ma for the SLCC is discussed in view of the present knowledge on the geology of the Rio Negro Province; a relation with the evolution of the K'Mudku Belt is prognosticated.

Magíster en Ciencias, Mención Geología / Se presentan dataciones U-Pb en circones detríticos de la Serie Occidental del Basamento Metamórfico del centro-sur de Chile y el Complejo Piedra Santa (CPS) en Argentina, como también en las zonas de reacción entre las rocas ultramáficas de La Cabaña (~38°30 S) y en las cromititas encontradas en la misma zona. Se detectan tres poblaciones características de circones detríticos dentro del área de estudio. La primera se caracteriza por tener edades máximas de depósito en el Carbonífero Temprano, ausencia de circones devónicos y un alto aporte de circones ordovícicos (~470 Ma), además de circones meso-proterozoicos entre los 1000-1200 Ma. Este patrón se encuentra en las metapelitas de la Serie Oriental y en la sección norte de la Serie Occidental hasta las peridotitas de La Cabaña, como también en el CPS. Se presenta también una edad U-Pb de 301.9±2.6 Ma en un granitoide del Complejo Plutónico Chachil que intruye a esta última unidad. La segunda población se caracteriza por un aporte casi exclusivo de edades pérmicas (260-298 Ma) las cuales definen su edad máxima de depósito. Estas poblaciones se encuentran en las localidades al sur de los 39°S hasta los 40°S. La tercera población tiene principalmente circones devónicos (360-380 Ma) y edades máximas de depósito carboníferas. Esta se encuentra en los metasedimentos al sur-oeste de La Cabaña y al norte de los 39°S. Tanto la distribución de estas edades como la intrusión del Batolito de la Costa y su continuidad con el Complejo Plutónico Chachil y los cuerpos carboníferos del Macizo Nordpatagónico, permiten concluir que existe una yuxtaposición de distintos bloques del basamento a través de la Zona de Falla Mocha-Villarrica, donde el bloque que alberga La Cabaña corresponde al bloque mejor conservado de la Serie Occidental. Por lo anterior se sugiere el uso del término Complejo Metamórfico de La Cabaña para referirse al basamento entre la Zona de Falla Lanalhue y Mocha-Villarrica. Por otra parte, tanto los circones encontrados en las zonas de reacción como en las cromititas poseen una distribución de edades y características morfológicas similares a los encontrados en los metasedimentos. Esto, sumado a la presencia de circones metamórficos de ca. 285 Ma en ambas litologías, permiten concluir que fluidos provenientes desde los metasedimentos removilizaron circonio y posiblemente fragmentos de circones de estos últimos dentro de las rocas ultramáficas, constriñendo la edad a la que se incorporan las rocas ultramáficas al complejo metamórfico. / Este trabajo ha sido financiado por los Proyectos Fondecyt 1110345, Fondecyt de Iniciación 11140005, y Núcleo Milenio Trazadores de Metales NC130065
