The thrust contact between the Canastra and Vazante groups in the Southern Brasília Belt: Structural evolution, white mica crystallinity and implications for the Brasiliano orogeny

Two regional thrust-sheets of Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks occur in the Southern Brasilia Belt, northwest Minas Gerais. The lower one comprises the Vazante Group, that is formed in the studied area, from base to top, by the Serra do Garrote (metapelites interlayered with carbonaceous phyllit...

The lower one comprises the Vazante Group, that is formed in the studied area, from base to top, by the Serra do Garrote (metapelites interlayered with carbonaceous phyllite), Serra do Poco Verde (beige to pink stromatolitic metadolomite with interlayered greenish slates), Morro do Calcario (gray stromatolitic metadolomite interlayered with gray slates) and Serra da Lapa (phyllite with dolarenitic lenses interlayered with slates) formations.

The Braziliano orogeny resulted in four phases of contractional deformation, associated with low-grade metamorphism. The first two (D1 and D2) are ductile, while the third and fourth ones (D3 and D4) are brittle-ductile. D1 developed a slaty S1 cleavage subparallel to the primary layering, with shallow to steep dips to NW. D2 developed a crenulation cleavage (S2) that dips moderately to NW and is associated with tight to isoclinal folds. D3 and D4 phases developed crenulations and open folds and kink bands.

White mica crystallinity (Kubler index) measurements in metapelites indicate that both the Canastra and Vazante groups reached anchizone/epizone conditions, and metamorphic discontinuities along thrusts indicate that the peak of metamorphism is pre or syn-thrusting. 2016 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_23174889_v46_n4_p567_DeOliveiraCarvalho http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_23174889_v46_n4_p567_DeOliveiraCarvalho
