RESUMO

This Thesis aims to advance in the geological knowledge of the Sergipano Belt, by studying the tectonic evolution for two within seven lithotectonic domains: the Marancó -Poço Redondo Domain. To reach the objective a detailed field work, that used four geological maps (1:100.000) from the Carira Project (PLGB, DNPM-CPRM, 1988) as base maps and a Landsat image, was carried out, with the aim to determinate the structural relationships between the main lithologies. Petrographic and geochemical analyses were performed and Sm-Nd isotopic and U-Pb (SHRIMP) data were acquired for the main rock types. The data show that the Marancó and Poço Redondo domains are closely related. We propose the denomination of Marancó - Poço Redondo Domain for the group of rocks that occurs to the north of the Belo Monte-Jeremoabo Shear Zone and to the south of the Canindé do São Francisco sequence. Field geology showed that the domain is composed by a migmatitic unit, which is intruded by several granitic bodies, and by a meta-volcano sedimentary sequence. The migmatites are orto-derived and intruded by at least three distinct granitic suites. The meta-volcano sedimentary sequence is characterized by immature sedimentary rocks. The main rock types include meta-greywacke, meta-pelites, quartzites and meta-conglomerades. Intermediate volcanics were probably the main source for the sedimentary sequence. Ultramafic rocks occur as tectonic slices intercalated to the sedimentary rocks. The geochemistry shows that the migmatites paleossome are granodioritic in composition and have geochemical affinities with magmatic arc plutonism. Two U-Pb (SHRIMP) ages of 980 and 960 were obtained for the migmatites. Theses ages link the migmatites to the Greenvile/ Cariris Velho Orogeny. The Nd isotopic data allow us to consider them as continental margin arc plutons, were juvenile magmas interacted with continental crust. The Serra Negra augen gneiss intrudes the migmatites and the meta-volcano sedimentary sequence. Its geochemical data shows that it is probably late tectonic and associated with major transcurrent shear zones. A SHRIMP age of 951 Ma. was acquired for this granites, which means that they were generated soon after the migmatites. In the meta-volcano sedimentary sequence, the sedimentary rocks show geochemical affinities with those generated in continental margin arc basins. A provenance study was carried out by dating detrital zircons and by Sm-Nd analyses in the sedimentary rocks. This study showed that the sequence has a very restrict source, strongly dominated by Cariris Velho-aged rocks, probably related to the continental arc. Besides the rocks closely related to the Cariris Velho Orogeny, Brasiliano/Pan-African aged rocks also occur. The Sítios Novos granite occurs as several intrusive, enclave-rich granodioritic bodies, which crosscut all the other rocks. Its geochemistry showed that it is calco-alkalic, metaluminous arc-related granite. A U-Pb (TIMS) analysis yields an age of 650 Ma and the Nd isotopic data shows strong contamination with older continental crust. Volcanic andesitic and dacitic arc- related rocks occur as dikes and sills cutting the metassedimentary sequence. Two samples were analyzed and yield U-Pb (SHRIMP) ages of 602 Ma. The Nd isotopic composition is very similar to that for the Sítios Novos granites. The deformational history for the Marancó - Poço Redondo Domain can be divided in two major cycles. The first one evolved form a compressional tectonics that developed SSW thrust faults, to dominantly sinistral transcurrent within three deformational fazes. Field relationships, chiefly those between the dated granites and structures, allow the interpretation of that this first cycle is related to the Cariris Velhos Orogeny. The second one is represented by regional scale transcurrent shear zones, which affect only the borders the Marancó Poço Redondo Domain. This second cycle is related to the Brasiliano/Pan-African Orogeny. Therefore, the Marancó Poço Redondo Domain represents a fragment of a continental margin arc and its related basin formed during the Greenvile/Cariris Velhos Orogeny at the southern margin of the Pernambuco - Alagoas Massif. The domain was detached from its original tectonic setting and accreted to the northern margin of the São Francisco Craton during the Pan-African / Brasiliano Orogeny. It records features of these two major tectonic cycles and the understanding of their relationships can be very helpful on the understanding of the Precambrian fold belts, in special the Sergipano Belt.
