Idade u-th-pb da monazita e coronas de reação fosfato-silicato de metacharnoenderbito neoarqueano do Sul do Cráton São Francisco (MG)

Abstract

In the southern portion of the São Francisco Craton (MG), west of the Bom Sucesso city, neoarchean metamorphosed lithotypes outcrop, which include ultramafic bodies, gabbro-norites, enderbites to charnockites, and granites. From this association, a metacharnoenderbite crystallized and metamorphosed under granulite facies around 2700 Ma yielded monazite crystals with apatite, allanite and epidote coronas arising due to the interaction of monazite with metamorphic fluids containing Ca, Fe, Si and Al. By electron microprobe, an average chemical age of 2657 ± 36 Ma was obtained. It is suggested that it corresponds to the age of amphibolite facies retrometamorphism developed during the Neoarchean late-collisional period of the Rio das Velhas event, during which time the phosphate-silicate reaction coronas would have developed contemporarily to the growth of amphibole and biotite in such rock.
