Magnetic fabrics of the neoproterozoic piquiri syenite massif (Southernmost Brazil): Implications for 3D geometry and emplacement

The study of magnetic fabrics and rock magnetic properties, together with geological and structural mapping, was carried out in a syenite pluton to investigate its shape and emplacement history. The Piquiri Syenite Massif (PSM) is an alkaline pluton which exhibits S >> L magmatic fabric and is interpreted to be part of the last Neoproterozoic post-collisional magmatic episodes in southernmost Brazil. Thermomagnetic curves, hysteresis data and...
