          Abstract

          The Juréia Massif, southeastern São Paulo State (Brazil), is part of the Registro Domain, limited to the north by the Cubatão-Itariri Shear System and to the south by the Serrinha Shear Zone. Mostly composed of migmatitic granitegneiss rocks, represents a Paleoproterozoic terrane (1.9-2.2 Ga) strongly deformed during the Neoproterozoic (750-580 Ma). The present tectonic scenario was established at the end of the Neoproterozoic, as a result of collages associated with the formation of Western Gondwana. The Ponta da Juréia, our study area within the Juréia Massif, is constituted by paragneisses (garnet-muscovite-biotite gneisses). The monazite U-Pb age of 750 Ma is related to a main regional metamorphic event that reached the high amphibolite facies, recorded in rocks from the Itatins Complex and Cachoeira Sequence as well, which also belongs to the Registro Domain. The paragneissic rocks of this study are affected by the E-W-trending Serrinha Shear Zone, registering a predominantly dextral movement. Biotite K-Ar ages of 482 ± 12 Ma may represent later movements and reflect the younger ages of reactivation of the major lineaments and juxtaposition of the tectonic blocks involved.

          O Maciço da Juréia, localizado na porção sul-oriental do Estado de São Paulo, está inserido no Domínio Registro, limitado a norte pelo Sistema de Cisalhamento Cubatão-Itariri e a sul pela Zona de Cisalhamento Serrinha. Composto em sua maior parte por rochas granito-gnáissico migmatíticas, representa um terreno Paleoproterozóico (1.9-2.2 Ga) fortemente afetado durante o Neoproterozóico (750-580 Ma). Na área em questão, no final do Neoproterozóico estabeleceu-se o quadro tectônico atualmente observado, como resultado de colagens associadas à formação do Gondwana Ocidental. A Ponta da Juréia, porção estudada do Maciço da Juréia, é constituída por paragnaisses, onde predomina granada-muscovita-biotita gnaisses.A idade U-Pb obtida em monazitas, em torno de750 Ma, é associada à principal fase de metamorfismo regional,que atingiu o fácies anfibolito alto, também registrado nas rochas do Complexo Itatins e da Sequência Cachoeira, igualmente pertencentes ao Domínio Registro. As rochas paragnáissicas estudadas apresentam-se afetadas pela Zona de Cisalhamento Serrinha, de direção principal em torno de E-W, com movimentação predominante dextral. Apresentam idade K-Ar em biotita de 482 ±12 Ma que pode representar movimentações tardias desta zona de cisalhamento, e refletir a época mais jovem possível para a movimentação que ocorre ao longo dos grandes lineamentos e justaposição dos blocos tectônicos envolvidos.
