The Paleoproterozoic terrane of the state of Bahia, Brazil, is characterized by an important mag-matic event that resulted in the generation of large and numerous syenite complexes; the terrane constitutes one of the largest syenite provinces in the world. It includes the Itiuba (1,800km2), Santanapolis (180 km2), Sao Felix (32 km2), and Anuri (70 km2) complexes. These syenitic bodies of shoshonitic affiliation are silica saturated, metaluminous, and exhibit: (1) moderate to high K2O/Na2O ratios, (2) relatively high MgO contents (up to 3.0%); (3) high incompatible-element contents, particularly LILE and LREE; (4) high HREE/LREE fractionations; and (5) small Eu negative anomalies. Among these syenites, Santanapolis exhibits the greatest lithological diversity, with a porphyritic and a heterogranular facies, and diverse lithotypes that vary from leucosyenites to melanocratic syenites of cumulate origin, as well as enclaves and dikes. It intruded syntectonically at 2.1 Ga and shows magmatic flow structures and subsolidus recrystallization of quartz and alkali feldspars. The mineralogical assemblage is perthitic feldspar, diopside, hornblende, phlogopite-biotite, apatite, zircon, titanite, calcite, and monazite. Differentiation of the Santanopolis Syenite was controlled by flow segregation processes in an intermediate trachytic magma, with fractionation of early crystallized diopside, apatite, and plagioclase. The parental intermediate shoshonitic magma was extracted directly from an enriched, subduction-modified mantle characterized by anomalous concentrations of LREE and LILE elements, and isotopic parameters similar to the EMI-type. |
