Mineral Evolution Database
Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.
Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org



The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.

The goal of this page is to present localities at which the mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the minerals at these localities.

(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.
