          Abstract

          The Urucum suite (582 ± 2 Ma, zircon U-Pb age), situated in the Mid-Rio Doce Valley, eastern part of Minas Gerais State, is characterized by elongated, NW-SE and N-S trending granitic massifs associated with the Conselho Peña-Resplendor high-angle shear zone. It corresponds to a syn to late collisional magmatism that presents dominant solid-state foliation. Four facies are distinguished within the Urucum suite: (i) a porphyritic (Urucum); (ii) a medium- to coarse nequigranular (Palmital); (iii) a tourmaline-bearing; and (iv) a pegmatitic facies. These facies are peraluminous, with alumina saturation index varying from 0.98 to 1.38. SiO2 contents vary from 70.7 to 73.7 wt%, with K2O values ranging from 3.5 to 5.7 wt%, Na2O from 1.9 to 4.4 wt%, MgO from 0.6 to 1.2 wt%, and CaO from 0.3 to 0.9%. Harker-type diagrams show rather continuous trends from the less-evolved Urucum facies to the more evolved tourmaline-bearing and pegmatitic facies. The behavior of several major oxides and trace elements (Fe2O3, MgO, MnO, CaO, TiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Rb and Ba) reflects the role played by fractionation of ferromagnesian minerals, feldspars and accessory minerals. Initial Sr87/Sr86 ratios vary from 0.711 to 0.716, with εNd (580 Ma) values between -7.4 to -8.2, and Sm-Nd TDM model ages ranging from 2290 to 1840 Ma.

          A suíte Urucum (U/Pb em zircão: 582 ± 2 Ma), situada na região do Vale do Médio Rio Doce, leste de Minas Gerais, caracteriza-se por plutons graníticos alongados (NW-SE e N-S) sin a tardi-colisionais associados à Zona de Cisalhamento de Alto Ângulo de Conselho Peña-Resplendor. São rochas foliadas, com predomínio da foliação no estado sólido em relação à foliação magmática. Foram caracterizadas quatro fácies: (i) porfirítica (Urucum), (ii) inequigranular média a grossa, (iii) com turmalina, e (iv) pegmatítica. Essas fácies são peraluminosas, com índice de saturação em alumina entre 0,98 e 1,38. Os teores em SiO2variam entre 70,7 e 73,7%, com valores de K2O entre 3,5 e 5,7%, Na2O entre 1,9 e 4,4%, MgO entre 0,6 e 1,2%, e CaO entre 0,3 e 0,9%. Em diagramas tipo Harker, os dados químicos mostram trends mais ou menos contínuos desde a fácies menos evoluída (Urucum) até fácies mais evoluídas (turmalina-granitos e pegmatítica). O comportamento de vários elementos maiores e traços (Fe203, Mg0, Mno, CaO, TiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Rb and Ba) mostram a importância da cristalização fracionada de minerais ferromagnesianos, feldspatos e minerais acessórios. A razão inicial de Sr87/Sr86 varia de 0,711 a 0,716, com εNd (580 Ma) entre -7,4 e -8,2, e idades modelo Sm-Nd entre 2290 e 1840 Ma.

            A chemical–mineralogical classification of common plutonic rocks and associations

            A classification is proposed, based mainly on major element analytical data plotted in a coherent set of three simple chemical-mineralogical diagrams. The procedure follows two complementary steps at two different levels. The first is concerned with the individual sample: the sample is given a name (e.g. granite, adamellite, granodiorite) and its chemical and mineralogical characteristics are determined. The second one is more important: it aims at defining the type of magmatic association (or series) to which the studied sample or group of samples belongs. Three main types of association are distinguished:cafemic(from source-material mainly or completely mantle-derived),aluminous(mainly or completely derived by anatexis of continental crust), andalumino-cafemic(intermediate between the other two types). Subtypes are then distinguished among the cafemic and alumino-cafemic associations: calc-alkaline (or granodioritic), subalkaline (or monzonitic), alkaline (and peralkaline), tholeiitic (or gabbroic-trondhjemitic), etc. In the same way, numerous subtypes and variants are also distinguished among the aluminous associations using a set of complementary criteria such as quartz content, colour index, alkali ratio, quartz–alkalies relationships and alumina index.
