Age and sedimentary provenance of the Canastra and Vazante groups in the regions of Guarda-Mor and Unai, Minas Gerais, Sm-Nd and U-Pb methods, Brazil

Sm-Nd and U-Pb isotopic data on rocks of the Canastra and Vazante groups suggest derivation from predominantly Meso to Paleoproterozoic sources for these tectonic units of the Brasilia Range. T_DM model ages between 1.76 and 2.85 Ga are consistent with continuous supply of sources with long crustal residence time and / or mix between old and younger sources. Detrital zirconia around 1.0 Ga may indicate the maximum deposition age of the Canastra Group, as well as suggests an important Mesoproterozoic source in the derivation of these sediments. The analyzed samples are in different scales of push, that put side by side the diverse formations of the Canastra and Vazante. So tectonics can explain the change of origin between each one
