Abstract

Clinopyroxene and amphibole are the main mafic minerals in peralkaline granites of the Papanduva Pluton, Morro Redondo Complex, one of the most important granitic occurrences within the Graciosa A-type Province, S-SE Brazil. Clinopyroxene is present as three distinct late-to post-magmatic textural generations of aegirine, as well as post-magmatic aegirine-augite. Amphibole is predominantly magmatic ferrorichterite and arfvedsonite, and post-magmatic riebeckite. Major and trace element compositions reveal evolutionary trends characterized by increasing Fe3+ and Na and decreasing Fe2+, Ca, HFSE, and REE contents from core to crystal rims; trace element and REE partitioning is controlled by the composition of the coexisting melts or fluid phases, as well as by crystal chemistry. delta O-18 values for minerals investigated range from +2.3 to +6.4 parts per thousand and correlate both with increasing degrees of alkalinity and quasi-solidus (sub-magmatic) deformation affecting several granites of the Papanduva Pluton. These deformation events played a significant role in the concentration and circulation of residual melts and fluid phases from which amphiboles and clinopyroxenes precipitated. Combined textural, chemical, and O isotope findings suggest that these fluids evolved through more oxidizing (close to the FMQ buffer), alkali-(i.e. peralkaline), fluorine-, and O-18-rich conditions, associated with higher abundances of HFSEs and REEs within a temperature interval between 750 and 700 degrees C (late-magmatic stages) and 400-450 degrees C (post-magmatic stages).
