Abstract

The region of Santana do Araguaia, focus of this study, is located in the southeast of Pará State, which, in its turn, lies in the southeastern Amazonian Craton. From the tectonic point of view, it is positioned in the Domain Santana do Araguaia, interpreted as an Archean terrain affected by the Transamazonic Cycle. A petrographic and geochronological study, supported by field data, was undertaken in granitoids of the region in order to unravel the evolution of this field. In modal terms, the studied rocks consist of biotite monzogranite, biotite metagranodiorite, hornblende-biotite granodiorite, hornblende-biotite metatonalite and enderbite. These rocks present themselves undeformed to moderately deformed, with some particularities: the bi...
