Geochemistry and zircon geochronology of the I-type high-K calc-alkaline and S-type granitoid rocks from southeastern Roraima, Brazil: Orosirian collisional magmatism evidence (1.97-1.96 Ga) in central portion of Guyana Shield

The understanding of the geological evolution of the Uatuma-Anaua Domain in southeastern Roraima, central region of Guyana Shield, is of major significance in the study of the Amazonian craton. This region lies between some major Paleoproterozoic geological-geochronological provinces: Tapajos-Parima or Ventuari-Tapajos (dominant), Maroni-Itacaiunas or Transamazon (northwest) and Central Amazonian or Central Amazon (southeast and east). Geological mapping of the northern area of Uatuma-Anaua Domain, integrated with whole rock geochemistry data and previous and new Pb-evaporation and U-Pb zircon geochronology, point out for a plutonic collisional magmatic event (1975-1968 Ma) represented by 1-type high-K calc-alkaline (Martins Pereira) and S-type (Serra Dourada) granitoid rocks. This magmatism was probably generated from crustal sources by partial melting during amalgamation of the TTG-like Anaua magmatic arc (2028 Ma) with Transamazonian (2.2-2.0 Ga) and Central Amazonian (older than 2.3 Ga) terranes. Local cumulatic leucogranites fills planar structures of the Martins Pereira granites. These leucogranites show younger ages (1909 Ma) and several inherited zircons (2354, 2134, 1997 and 1959 Ma), suggesting origin from crustal sources. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
