P-T PSEUDOSECTIONS BASED ON THE CHEMICAL VARIATION OF ZONED GARNETS IN THE METAPELITIC ROCKS OF EAST MACURURÉ DOMAIN, SERGIPAN OROGEN
Macururé Domain; P-T pseudosection; Garnet; Metamorphic zones
Macururé Domain corresponds to the most expressive domain of Sergipan Orogen, emerging in the states of Bahia, Sergipe and Alagoas and is composed predominantly by metapsamopelites. This work aimed to identify the pressure and temperature conditions that these rocks were submitted to, with P-T pseudosection building by Perple_X software. Recent works have shown that the metapelitic rocks of the Macururé Domain exhibit a metamorphic progression from south to north from the schist-green to amphibolite facies, marked by the metamorphic zoneography initiated by the garnet zone, passing through the kyanite zone and ending up in the silimanite zone, showing an intermediate pressures metamorphism (Barrowian). The results obtained by bulk-rock composition + the variation of XCa and XMg core-edge garnet crystals (XRF and EMP-WDS), for a sample from each zone indicated conditions that confirmed this progression of metamorphism to northern, however, an event which stabilized the three samples under amphibolite facies conditions was recorded. For the sample placed on garnet zone, the conditions indicated by the garnet core and edge were 449ºC - 0.438GPa and 629ºC - 1.094GPa, respectively. While for the sample placed on kyanite zone the values obtained were 515ºC - 0.655GPa (core) and 616ºC - 0.845GPa (edge) and for the sample situated on silimanite zone the presented were 512ºC - 0.615 GPa (core) and 617ºC - 1,129GPa (edge).
