Aeromagnetic and gamma spectrometric interpretation of the Riacho Queimadas sheet

This paper presents the aeromagnetic and gamma-spectrometric interpretation of the Riacho Queimadas Sheet (SC.24-V-A-I), southeastern Piaui State, Brazil, originated from studies as part of the Programa Levantamentos Geologicos Basicos do Brasil-PLGB (basic Geological Surveying Program of Brazil). The interpretation of magnetometric and gamma-spectrometric maps identified mafic-ultramafic and felsic terrains and sedimentary rocks and the utilization of modelling techniques defined the shape and variation in thickness of geologic bodies. It was possible to limit young igneous intrusive rocks and to suggest the hierarchy of structural alignments and shear zones, based on anomalies shape analyses. (author)
