Abstract

The Araçuaí Orogen is characterized by intense magmatic activity corresponding to pre-, syn-, and post-tectonic evolutionary stages between the Neoproterozoic and the Cambro-Ordovician. Bimodal plutons predominantly mark the final stage of this magmatism. The Pedra Azul Intrusive Complex (PAIC) is a post-collisional pluton composed of rocks ranging from syenogranite and monzogranite (featuring ocellar textures) to granodiorite and tonalite. The PAIC was emplaced along a regional lineament during the orogen's collapse phase, intruding metasedimentary sequences, which are observed as xenoliths and roof pendants within the granites of the intrusion. This study presents detailed petrographic analyses, combined with lithogeochemical data and zircon U-Pb geochronology. Macro- and micro-scale evidence indicates that the lithotypes within the PAIC interacted to produce mixing and mingling features. Geochemical data divide the mapped rocks of the PAIC into three distinct groups: monzogranite/syenogranite, granodiorite/tonalite, and ocelar granite. Magma mixing modeling demonstrated that binary mixing between granites and tonalites/granodiorites corresponds to the composition of the ocelar granites. U-Pb zircon dating (via laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry [LA-ICP-MS]) revealed crystallization ages of 501 ± 5 My for monzogranite, 505 ± 3 My for syenogranite, 494 ± 4 My, 486 ± 5 My, and 497 ± 3 My for granodiorite, and 503 ± 3 My for tonalite. The data obtained for the PAIC indicate that the rocks composing the complex were formed from different sources.
