Geology and genesis of iron oxide-copper-gold deposits in the Carajas Mineral Province : the case study of the Sossego deposit

Orientadores: Roberto Perez Xavier, Carlos Roberto de Souza Filho, Lena Virginia Soares MonteiroTese (doutorado) -Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de GeocienciasResumo: O depósito de óxido de ferro-cobre-ouro de Sossego na Província Mineral de Carajás (PMC), região norte do Brasil, consiste de três corpos de minério principais, denominados Sossego-Curral, Sequeirinho-Baiano e Pista, envolvidos por zonas de alteração hidrotermal sódica, sódico-cálcica, potássica, clorítica e hidrolítica. Essas zonas de alteração hidrotermal mostram diferentes graus de desenvolvimento em cada corpo de minério. Os estágios iniciais de alteração foram controlados pelo fluxo de fluido em zonas de cisalhamento regionais, enquanto a mineralização cupro-aurífera corresponde a uma fase tardia e se formou em um ambiente estrutural rúptil. Salmouras hipersalinas, quentes (> 500 oC) e compostas essencialmente por NaCl-CaCl2-H2O podem estar associadas com o desenvolvimento inicial do sistema hidrotermal Sossego. As brechas sulfetadas Sequeirinho e Sossego mostram um enriquecimento em Cu-Fe-Au-(Ag)- Ni-Co-Se-Y-V-P-La-Ce e baixo conteúdo de Ti, semelhante a outros depósitos de óxido de Fe-Cu-Au em Carajás e em termos mundiais. O alto conteúdo de Ni, Co, Se, V e Pd, especialmente no corpo Sequeirinho, possivelmente é decorrente da lixiviação de metais a partir de fontes como o gabro, que tem relação espacial com os corpos de magnetitito e as zonas mineralizadas, e lente de rochas metaultramáficas do Supergrupo Itacaiúnas. Os processos de interação fluido-rocha devem ter resultado em significativa lixiviação de metais da seqüência de rochas hospedeiras, que foi acentuado por fluidos hidrotermais inicialmente de alta temperatura (>500 oC) e alto conteúdo de cloreto no sistema hidrotermal Sossego, movido pelo calor dos vários episódios de intrusões registrados na PMC. As inclusões fluidas de amostras dos estágios finais da evolução do sistema hidrotermal Sossego, indicam a participação de (1) salmouras hipersalinas; (2) salmouras salinas, de baixa temperatura (~150 oC) e ricos em CaCl2; e (3) fluidos de baixa salinidade e baixa temperatura (500 oC) brines could be associated with the initial development of the hydrothermal system. Sequeirinho and Sossego sulfide ore breccias are marked by enrichment in Cu-Fe-Au-(Ag)-Ni-Co-Se-Y-V-P-La-Ce and low contents of Ti, which also occur in other IOCG deposits of CMP and worldwide IOCG deposits. The high contents of Ni, Co, Se, V and Pd, particularly in Sequeirinho orebody, possibly were originated by metal leaching from sources such as intrusive gabbro, which have spatial relationship with massive magnetite bodies and mineralized zones, and metaultramafic lenses of Itacaiúnas Supergroup. Fluid-rock interaction process might have resulted in significant metal leaching from host sequences, enhanced by early high temperature (>500 oC) and high chloride concentrations of hydrothermal fluids in the extensive Sossego hydrothermal system driven by heat from several intrusive episodes recorded in the CMP. Fluid inclusions of the samples from the final stages of evolution of the Sossego hydrothermal system in brittle conditions, indicated participation of hot hypersaline brines, low temperature (~150 oC) CaCl2-rich saline brines and low-temperature (<250 oC) low salinity NaCl-H2O fluids in early, main and late mineralization stages. The CaCl2-rich saline brines could reflect continuum evolution from magmatic hypersaline fluids or involve low temperature basinal, including evaporite-derived fluids. Low salinity, NaCl-bearing fluids, predominates in late stages and reflect channelized influx of meteoric fluids. The transition to a dominantly brittle structural regime and cooling of the system favors the influx of these oxidized meteoric-derived fluids. Fluid mixing could have represented a major influence on ore precipitation in different orebodies from the Sossego IOCG deposit and could have had fundamental importance to trigger the bulk of copper deposition.DoutoradoMetalogeneseDoutor em Ciência

AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest

The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non-invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from different Amazon regions to compile the most extensive data set of inventories of mammal, bird, and reptile species ever assembled for the area. The complete data set comprises 154,123 records of 317 species (185 birds, 119 mammals, and 13 reptiles) gathered from surveys from the Amazonian portion of eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). The most frequently recorded species per taxa were: mammals: Cuniculus paca (11,907 records); birds: Pauxi tuberosa (3713 records); and reptiles: Tupinambis teguixin (716 records). The information detailed in this data paper opens up opportunities for new ecological studies at different spatial and temporal scales, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change, and other human-mediated defaunation processes in one of the most important and threatened tropical environments in the world.
