Abstract

The volcanic rocks of the Colíder and Roosevelt formations are extensively exposed in the south-central portion of the Amazonian Craton where effusive and pyroclastic rocks have been mapped. Both units, topped by chemical sediments and oceanic facies as rhyolite and andesite lavas, rhyodacite, and porphyritic dacite, with frequent intercalations of pyroclastic and epiclastic deposits. Whole-rock geochemistry for 55 samples of rhyolitic to andesitic composition suggests the involvement of fertile mantle-derived components with E-MORB to OIB compositions. The analyzed rocks display calc-alkaline to shoshonitic affinity consistent with generation related to an active continental margin. The whole-rock Sm-Nd isotope data from selected felsic volcanic rocks of the Colíder and Roosevelt formations yield negative initial εNd values between –3 and –9, indicating the predominantly crustal nature of the parental magmas with early Archean to late Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2.5–2.0 Ga) depleted mantle model ages.

Acknowledgements

This paper is the result of a doctoral project by the first author, financed by the Rio de Janeiro Research Council (FAPERJ # 100.173/2014) and CAPES Brazilian Council (Sandwich fellowship No. 99999.006532/2015–02). The present research was performed under the field trips support of Geociam (Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia de Geociências da Amazônia) and Metamat (Companhia Matogrossense de Mineração). We thank the staff of the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (including the tin section laboratory) and the University of Geneva for sample preparation and isotopic analysis. We are also grateful to Votorantin Metais and CPRM for geochemical data from the Roosevelt Formation rocks. The manuscript text was strongly improved by anonymous reviewers' polishing works.
