(2017) RBG30_177The Serra Branca granitoids contain zircons which give an age o 575 ± 16 Ma. These granitoids show Sm-Nd TDM ages higher (2.3 to 2.5 Ga) than those recorded in the Solidão and Queimadas Plutons. It suggests that an Archean component may have been involved in the source of the Serra Branca granitoids.
