detrital zircon LA-ICPMS U-Pb ages were calculated and 22 whole rock samples were used for Sm-Nd isotope
analysis. The U-Pb ages range between Archean and Neoproterozoic and the main source is the Sunsás Province.
Moving up stratigraphy there is a subtle increase in slightly younger detritus with the youngest grain showing an
age of 652 ± 5 Ma, found at the top of the sequence. The age spectra are similar across each of the sampled
units and when combined with the Sm-Nd data, indicate that the source of the detritus was mostly similar
throughout deposition. This is consistent with the analysis here that indicates sedimentation occurred in a
passive margin environment on the southern margin of the Amazonian Craton. The maximum depositional age
of 652 ± 5 Ma along with the age of the overlying cap carbonate of the Mirassol d’Oeste Formation suggests
that part of this section of sediments were deposited in the purportedly global ∼636 Ma Marinoan glaciation,
although we give no sedimentological evidence for glaciation in the study area. Compared to the southern
Paraguay Belt where no direct age constraints exist, the glacial epoch could be either Cryogenian or Ediacaran.
In addition, available data in the literature indicates a diachronous evolution between the northern and southern
arms of the Paraguay Belt in the final stages of deposition and deformation.

5.7.9. MT-29 Coxipó Formation – diamictite


f206%

A single sample of this formation was collected from the upper


















clastic unit of the Cuiabá Group. This diamictite outcrops in the MT-10
Pb* (ppm)

(Fig. 4). 77 zircon grains were dated and only one shows greater than
15% discordance. This sample contains the youngest detrital zircon in
this study. MT-29 contains the two youngest ages of 652 ± 5 Ma and
206

655 ± 8 Ma and the other grains range up to 2197 ± 9 Ma. A single


















crystal of Archean age was found in this sample (Fig. 7). The main
Th/U

source of sediment has a peak age in 1233 Ma (Fig. 8).

Sm-Nd analysis is another useful tool in the age determination and

from the region is provided. Detrital zircons with ages ranging from 450
to 650 Ma are present in the north-central Andes (Chew et al., 2007),
but given a lack of obvious potential source regions it is hypothesized
that the late Neoproterozoic magmatic belt is buried beneath the pre-
sent-day Andean Belt or Amazon Basin (Chew et al., 2008).
To the east of the study area we find evidence in Nova Xavantina of
a ca. 822 Ma volcanism (Dantas et al., 2007). Given its close proximity
to the rocks studied here we consider this a likely source for the
800–900 Ma ages encountered in the Cuiabá Group. Further east is the
ca. 790-600 Ma Brasília Belt (Pimentel et al., 2011; Valeriano, 1995).
Within the Brasília Belt exist several potential sources including: det-
rital zircon grains of a volcanic-sedimentary juvenile magmatic arc that
occur near Brasília (1.0–1.2 Ga) (Viana, 1995); 0.7–1.2 Ga passive
margin sediments (Coelho et al., 2008); and 670 Ma granulites of the
Anápolis-Itauçu Complex (DellaGiustina, 2010). The early Neoproter-
ozoic rocks of the Goiás arc could also be considered as a source region.
There exist ca. 612 Ma mafic-ultramafic complexes (Nilson et al., 1997)
and ca. 643 Ma granites (Nilson et al., 1997; Pimentel and Fuck, 1994)
and arc-type metaplutonic and metavolcanic rocks with ages ranging
between 900 Ma and 700 Ma (Pimentel et al., 1991). Zircons with ages
ranging from 700 Ma to 770 Ma are also present in the southern
Paraguay Belt where sources are most available in that area. Laurentian
sources have also been proposed in the past to account for ages of
zircons not found on the Amazonian Craton (Babinski et al., 2013).
Such sources could be considered a likely possibility since this craton
was potentially contiguous to the Amazonian Craton in the Cryogenian
and that volcanic and plutonic units within this age range are ample in
the eastern margin of Laurentia (Aleinikoff et al., 1995; Lukert and
Banks, 1984; Su et al., 1994; Tollo et al., 2004).
To the south of the study area in the Pampean Belt exists calc-al-
kaline volcanism at 555-525 Ma (Escayola et al., 2007) and cordierite-
bearing, peraluminous magmas at 525-515 Ma (Rapela et al., 1998),
however such young ages were not found in the samples analysed in our
study.

7. Conclusions

This provenance study shows detrital zircon ages ranging from 2253
Ma and 652 Ma with one of the main sources interpreted to be the
1000–1250 Ma Sunsás Province. The youngest zircon grain analysed
from our samples of the Cuiabá Group in the northern Paraguay Belt is
652 ± 5 Ma, from the Coxipó Formation at the top of the sequence.
This is consistent with the subtle documented younging in sediment
