ASPECTOS GEOQUÍMICOS DAS ROCHAS GRANITÓIDES DA SUÍTE INTRUSIVA PEDRA PINTADA, NORTE DO ESTADO DE RORAIMA

Abstract

GEOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE PEDRA PINTADA SUITE GRANITOIDS, RORAIMA STATE, BRAZIL Late to pos-Transamazonian granitoids from the Pedra Pintada Suite (PPS) crop out along an E-W trending belt at the northern part of Roraima state, limited by narrow shear zones. The PPS consiste of hornblende-biotite granodiorite with subordinate tonalites and monzodiorites (GND); biotite-monzogranites, with minor granodiorites (MZG); leuco to hololeucocratic monzogranites (MGL) and leucocratic syenogranite (SNG). These granitoids are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous and show calc-alkaline character. For the same silica range, the GND and MGL exhibit lower TiO 2 contents than the MZG and SNG. Relative to the MZG, MGL and SNG, the GND is characterised by higher Sr and lower Rb, Zr and Y concentrations. The MZG shows the higher REE contents among the PPS granitoids. REE patterns exhibit moderate to pronounced negative Eu anomalias, and multielementar diagrams demonstrate an enrichment in LIL relative to HFS elements. These chemical characteristics are similar to that observed in calc-alkaline granitoids from modern ares, or collision belts, characterised by subduction signatures. The geochemical and geological aspects of the PPS granitoids may be correlated to a pos-collisional setting related to the Transamazonian cycle.
