Relationships Between Shearing and Granitic Magma Emplacement: the Remígio-Pocinhos Shear Zone in the São José do Campestre Massif, NE Brazil

Relationships Between Shearing and Granitic Magma Emplacement: the Remígio-Pocinhos Shear Zone in the São José do Campestre Massif, NE Brazil

Based on mineralogical, geochemical and textural characteristics, a variety of granite types was identified amongstthe intrusions emplaced during the tectonic activity along the Remígio-Pocinhos shear zone in NE Brazil during the lateststages of the Brasiliano orogeny. They include peraluminous gran...
