Abstract
U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes, by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and laser ablation (ICP-MS-LA), are reported in zircon grains from the Peixe Alkaline Suite. This unit comprises alkaline rocks such as syenites with nepheline, albite-oligoclase-biotite, and pegmatitic bodies. The zircon grain was imaged [...] Read more.
U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes, by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and laser ablation (ICP-MS-LA), are reported in zircon grains from the Peixe Alkaline Suite. This unit comprises alkaline rocks such as syenites with nepheline, albite-oligoclase-biotite, and pegmatitic bodies. The zircon grain was imaged by cathodoluminescence (CL), which allowed the characterization of features within the crystal. These features comprise complex zone crosscuts, showing the existence of pulses that caused the intrusion of isotopically younger phases into the interior of the grain on a millimetric scale. The U-Pb results suggest a metamorphic event with Pb loss at 579 ± 3 Ma. They can be interpreted because of the collisional regional event of the Brasilia Orogen (Mara Rosa Orogeny). A second age grouping at 548 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 8), obtained in areas with high luminescence fading laterally to oscillatory zoned domains with variations in the abundance of isotopes, is 33 Ma younger, demonstrating a rejuvenation of these areas through Pb loss. It is interpreted here as a second metamorphic event related to a collisional event (Santa Terezinha de Goiás arc). The Lu-Hf results for these areas indicate ƐHf values between −10 and −17, suggesting the existence of magmatic isotopic rework in a crustal environment. Full article
