Geological, petrographical, chemicals and technological studies of rocks of the southwest region of Mato Grosso State, Brazil have the purpose of qualification and application of these rocks as dimension stones. The first objective is to enlarge the offering of new esthetic varieties that show a standardization of technologic patterns, adequate characterization and classification assuring the correct specification of the rocks in relation to the use as dimension stones. Ten rock types are recognized for dimension stones, including granites, diabases, gneisses and amphibolites grouped by its colors in red, grey and black types and showing economic potential of plowing. The results obtained in the technological essays show that the rock parameters are sited inside the standard limits established by technical rules and obey satisfactorily the limit values fixed for granites in internal and external covering uses.

This work aimed at describing the Neoproterozoic evolution of a Southern Brasília Fold Belt segment, in Tapira area (southwest of Minas Gerais state, Brazil), using detailed geologic mapping. This area, the Canastra Group type-area, has showed great tectonic and stratigraphic complexities unlike the simplicity suggested in previous works. From recognizing the main tectonic discontinuities, it was possible to subdivide the area into some domains. In the west domain, they were individualized in tectonic sheet I, marked by pelitic rocks and pelitic-graphite rocks with psammitic intercalations, and II, pelitic rocks with psammitic and mafic-ultramafic intercalations overlapped by gneisses. In the east domain, a group of three tectonic sheets was defined, in which, in the two lower tectonic sheets, pelitic and pelitic-graphite rocks with psammitic rock intercalations prevailed, which is different in metamorphic conditions. The lower tectonic sheet is marked by mineralogical associations with muscovite + chlorite + quartz ± graphite ± albite, without biotite; however, the superior one is with muscovite + quartz + garnet ± chlorite ± biotite ± chloritoid ± graphite ± albite. In the upper tectonic sheet, pelitic rocks with local contributions of psammitic and ultramafics rocks occur. In the south domain, psammitic rocks basically occur with contributions of pelitics and rudaceous rocks, where the preservation of textures and sedimentary structures is common. Rocks of the several domains are interpreted as part of a passive continental margin basin, located in the western margin of the São Francisco paleocontinent. Thus, the south domain rocks would represent the facies of proximal platform; rocks of the lower and middle tectonic sheets (east domain) and of the tectonic sheet I (west domain) are of facies distal platform; and the ones from the upper tectonic sheet (east domain) and tectonic sheet II (west domain) were acknowledged as deposited in an environment of continental shelf and/or oceanic seafoor.

The Rio Preto Project, developed by the extinct Brazilian nuclear state company, Nuclebrás, during the late 70s and early 80s, consisted of basic geological mapping and radiometric characterization by aerogeophysical gamma-ray spectrometry, without channel discrimination, of a surface area of 650 km2 located to the west of the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park on the northeastern of Goiás State, Brazil, including the confluence area of Claro and Preto Rivers. Additionally, the natural radioelements U, Th and 40K were determined by gamma-ray spectrometry in 300 rock samples from cores of the Rio Preto Project area. The tests were conducted at LABIDRO-Isotopes and Hydrochemistry Laboratory of the Departament of Petrology and Metallogeny (DPM) of the Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences, UNESP, in Rio Claro, SP, Brazil. This paper reports the results of petrographic characterization and chemical analyses of major oxides (SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, MnO, K2O, Na2O, CaO and P2O5) for all samples used to determine the natural radioelements present in the region. The organic matter content results obtained by colorimetry are also reported for selected cores of different lithotypes in order to investigate the possible relationship between graphite and the radioelements uranium and thorium. Finally, uranium content and 234U/238U activity ratio data for selected samples of schists and gneisses of the Lower Member of the Ticunzal Formation suggest the influence of weathering processes in the area. © 2012 Sociedade Brasileira de Geofísica.

O Gnaisse Turvo, objeto deste trabalho, corresponde a um ortognaisse polideformado exposto na região de Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade, sudoeste do estado de Mato Grosso. Do ponto de vista geotectônico, está inserido no Cráton Amazônico e representa o embasamento paleoproterozoico do Terreno Paraguá, um dos blocos crustais que formam a Província Rondoniana-San Ignácio (1,55 - 1,3 Ga). Duas fácies foram identificadas a partir do estudo petrográfico: ¬granada-anfibólio-biotita gnaisse formada por granodioritos e ¬anfibólio-biotita gnaisse, mais abundante, de composição granodiorítica a sienogranítica. A paragênese identificada caracteriza o metamorfismo responsável por esses gnaisses como da fácies anfibolito. A análise estrutural caracteriza duas fases de deformação em nível crustal dúctil. A mais antiga (F1) é responsável pelo desenvolvimento do bandamento gnáissico, enquanto as estruturas da fase (F2), orientadas segundo a direção N30-60W, indicam esforços compressivos com transporte tectônico de SW para NE. A idade mínima de cristalização do Gnaisse Turvo, definida pelo método Pb-Pb em evaporação de zircão, corresponde a 1651 ± 4 Ma, sendo interpretada como idade de colocação do protólito ígneo. Os dados litogeoquímicos indicam que significativo magmatismo calcioalcalino de alto-K, metaluminoso a peraluminoso, associado à evolução de arcos magmáticos em ambiente de subducção (Orogenia Lomas Manechis - 1,7 a 1,6 Ga), dominava o período estateriano no Terreno Paraguá. A unidade ortognáissica estudada foi posteriormente retrabalhada metamórfica e tectonicamente, durante a Orogenia San Ignácio (1,4 a 1,3 Ga), que provavelmente corresponde à fase de deformação F2.
