摘要
In southern Brazil, three associations of metamorphosed tonalites and granodiorites that are compositionally similar to tonalitetrondhjemitegranodiorite (TTG) or adakitic associations have been identified in the Arroio dos Ratos Complex (ARC) Paleoproterozoic magmatism. The metatonalites of Association 1 (A1; 2148 +/- 33 Ma) have a well-developed fabric, compatible with strong solid-state deformation. The metatonalites and metagranodiorites of Association 2 (A2; 2150 +/- 28 Ma) are intrusive in A1 and have a similar composition, but are less deformed, and their primary structures are partly preserved. Both associations display contemporaneity relations with basic to intermediate magmas. Association 3 (A3; 2077 +/- 13 Ma) is represented by tonalitic to granodioritic gneisses, without any associated basic to intermediate magmatism, and its main characteristic is the banding that resulted from strong solid-state deformation. Partial melting features are locally present in A3. The geochemical compositions of the three associations are similar and indicate sources related to a continental magmatic arc environment. The Sr-87/Sr-86(i) ratios (between 0.701 and 0.703), positive epsilon Nd-(t) values (+ 1.45 to + 5.19), and T-DM ages close to the crystallization ages indicate juvenile sources for the A1 and A2 associations. The A3 rocks have a Sr-87/Sr-86(i) ratio of 0.715, an epsilon Nd-(t) value of + 0.47 and a TDM age that is close to the crystallization age, indicating a source composition different from those of the other associations. The Pb isotope ratios of A1 and A2 are similar and compatible with the evolution of mantle and orogen (Pb-208/Pb-204 = 37.337.6; Pb-207/Pb-204 = 15.6215.65; Pb-206/Pb-204 = 18.018.2). The Pb isotope ratios of A3 differ from A1 and A2, indicating a more Th-poor source (Pb-208/Pb-204 = 37.1; Pb-207/Pb-204 = 15.64; Pb-206/Pb-204 = 18.5). The geochemistry of associations A1 and A2 suggests a juvenile source with contamination by crustal material. However, the SrNdPb isotope signature of this contaminant is similar to that of the source material that originated these associations. This may be the crust generated in the magmatic arc, which is compatible with the geochronological results. The dataset points to the occurrence of self-cannibalism processes in the generation of the ARC rocks. The similar chemical composition and epsilon Nd-(t) values of A3 relative to A1 and A2 indicate that the A3 source is similar to the one that generated the tonalitic and granodioritic rocks of A1 and A2. However, the slightly lower Pb-208/Pb-204, and higher Pb-206/Pb-204 and Sr-87/Sr-86(i) ratios indicate that the A3 association has also the addition of a distinct crustal source. The A3 association high values of the parameter Sr-87/Sr-86(i) and its Pb isotope signature indicate a source with high Rb and U, and low Th contents. Such features, and moreover the depletion of HREE combined with TDM values near the igneous age, suggest that the source for A3 may be juvenile arc sediments. The greater degree of crustal contribution, the lack of associated basic to intermediate rocks, and the younger age possibly mark the more mature or late stages of the arc. The major and trace elements, as well as the isotope data obtained in this study suggest that melting of a metasomatized mantle wedge can be the process that generated the ARC basic to intermediate rocks (A1 and A2). The generation of tonalitic and granodioritic rocks with adakitic characteristics (i.e., the depletion of heavy rare earth elements in tonalitic and granodioritic rocks of A1, A2 and A3) may have arisen from the melting of a garnet-rich source or from fractional crystallization of ARC basic to intermediate magmas, which in time increased crustal assimilation under high-pressure conditions. The crustal garnet-rich source could be the basic rocks newly placed at the base of the crust, derived from partial melting of metasomatized mantle. The remobilization of this material by partial melting may have generated tonalitic and granodioritic liquids depleted in heavy REE due to the presence of garnet in the residue. The three associations display microstructures that indicate two episodes of recrystallization, one of a higher temperature and one of a lower temperature. The age of the high-temperature structure remains under discussion and may be attributed to a Paleoproterozoic metamorphic event. The low-temperature event is compatible with the temperature conditions observed in adjacent areas, in the host rocks of the Neoproterozoic post-collisional granitoids that have been emplaced along the Southern Brazilian Shear Belt (SBSB). Zircon crystals with Paleoproterozoic igneous cores exhibit a metamorphic overgrowth at 635 +/- 6 Ma, compatible with the crystallization ages of the SBSB granitoids.
