Petrogenesis, U-Pb and Sm-Nd geochronology of the Furna Azul Migmatite: partial melting evidence during the San Ignácio Orogeny, Paraguá Terrane, SW Amazon Craton

Petrogênese, geocronologia U-Pb e Sm-Nd do Migmatito Furna Azul: evidência de fusão parcial durante a Orogenia San Ignácio, Terreno Paraguá, SW do Cráton Amazônico

ABSTRACT:

The Furna Azul Migmatite is a ~10 km² complex located in Pontes e Lacerda city, Mato Grosso, Brazil. It belongs to Paraguá Terrane, limit with Rio Alegre Terrane, southeast of San Ignacio Province, in Amazon Craton. It consists of transitional metatexites with amphibolite enclaves and dioritic injections. The rocks were divided in residuum rich and leucosome rich; both have three deformation phases marked by folded stromatic layers affected by spaced foliation and metamorphosed in amphibolite facies, represented by garnet, biotite, sillimanite, and by the clinopyroxene in the enclaves. The metamorphic retrograde to greenschist is marked by formation of chlorite, muscovite and prehnite. Residuum-rich metatexites show higher CaO and Na₂O contents, separating them from K₂O, Ba and Rb enriched transitional metatexites. U-Pb on zircon and Sm-Nd whole-rocks dating indicates that the residuum-rich metatexite crystallized at 1436 ± 11 Ma, with a T_DM age of 1.90 Ga and ε_Nd(1.43) of -0.54, whereas the dioritic injection crystallized at 1341,7 ± 17 Ma with a T_DM age of 1.47 Ga and ε_Nd(1.34) of 3.39. These results indicate that the Furna Azul Migmatite protolith was formed during the San Ignácio Orogeny and was reworked during the same orogeny, as basement for collisional to post-magmatic granites from Pensamiento Intrusive Suite.
