Abstract

Field and petrological data and Pb/U, Sr/Rb and Ar/K radiometric results establish the existence of two superposed orogenesis in the Paraíba Belt (S. E. Brazil, States of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais).

Banded granulites of the « Paraíba Serie » represent sediments metamorphosed during a first orogeny dated at about 2000 m.y.

Migmatitic and granitic gneisses of the Serra dos Órgãos are syntectonic gneisses of an orogeny dated at 620 ± 20 m.y.

Results published previously date the last granites at 540 ± 60 m.y., pegmatites at 464 ± 11 m.y. and the youngest event (apparent ages of biotite) at 450 ± 30 m.y. These are late to post-tectonic events of the second orogeny which is also the last to have affected the area.

One young diabase, which cuts the aforementioned formations, is dated at 133 ± 6 m. y.
