RESUMO

The Manaíra-Princesa Isabel dike swarm forms one of the most expressive Neoproterozoic alkaline magmatism of the Borborema Province (NE Brazil). It consists of about a hundred NE-trending bodies intrusive in Neoproterozoic porphyritic granites (Princesa Isabel and Tavares plutons) and orthogneisses and low grade metasediments of the Eoneoproterozoic Riacho Gravatá Complex. The swarm was divided in four groups according its geographic location, i.e., the Tavares dikes to the north, the Princesa Isabel and Manaíra dikes, and the Serra Talhada dikes to the south. Silica oversatured nepheline syenites and syenites are typicall for Tavares, Princesa Isabel and Manaíra dikes, with potassic to ultrapotassic, peralkaline to sub-metaluminous affinity. A minor but distinct Serra Talhada dikes, show characteristically peraluminous affinity. Geochemical and isotopic signatures indicate strong enrichment in incompatible elements (Rb, Ba, K, Th, U, Sr), negative Nb anomaly, and quite radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd (= negative eNd values) initial ratios. These features suggest a common source for the swarm, which was probably an enriched litosferic mantle reservoir. Nb depletion found in all dikes indicates an important subduction component geochemical signature. Conversely, the 206,207,208Pb/204Pb ratios are lower than crustal values, indicating participation of an unradiogenic component. Paleoproterozoic Sm-Nd model ages, between 1.8-2.2 Ga, are interpreted as age of an older metasomatic event modifying the dike mantle source. SHRIMP U/Pb (zircon) and 40Ar/39Ar (amphibole) data yielded crystallization age of c. 600 Ma for the Manaíra-Princesa Isabel dike swarm. This allows to define an important crustal exumation period in the Zona Transversal domain between two significant magmatic activity peaks, at c. 630 Ma and 580 Ma.
