Resumo

VARGINHA SHEAR ZONE.Electron microprobe chemical analysis of mineral species from rocks of the southern part of Campos Gerais Complex, São Pedro da União-Nova Resende region (MG) show that the analysed species have a relatively homogeneous composition and that their paragenesis and geothermometric calculations indicate that the peak metamorphism took place at temperatures of 830-900°C and pressures of 12.5-15.0kbar, the most common values being of 700-750°C and 11.8-12.1 kbar.The average geothermal gradient was of 21°C/km is obtained and is similar to that of the Araxá-Canastra Group.The general estimated metamorphic conditions are of high pressure, at least higher than the Barrowian type.
