Resumen
El sector sur del distrito pegmatítico Comechingones está constituido por pegmatitas graníticas zonadas, con morfologías mayormente lenticulares y mineralizaciones de Be, Nb-Ta y U, que se emplazan en milonitas de la faja de cizalla Guacha Corral. Los planos de la foliación milonítica de la roca de caja presentan variaciones significativas en su orientación definiendo un patrón anastomosado tanto a escala regional como a escala de afloramiento. Las pegmatitas son generalmente concordantes con esa foliación milonítica, aunque también se observaron pegmatitas discordantes. La deformación de la faja de cizalla Guacha Corral generó una fábrica planar definida por la orientación de feldespatos, cuarzo y moscovita que afecta especialmente las zonas intermedias de las pegmatitas. Las orientaciones de las lineaciones de estiramiento mineral son próximas a las medidas sobre los planos de foliación milonítica de la roca de caja. El análisis estructural indica un emplazamiento sincinemático de las pegmatitas durante el evento deformacional de carácter dúctil de la faja de cizalla Guacha Corral desarrollado bajo un régimen de cizalla compresional progresiva no coaxial, de carácter inverso, indicando transporte tectónico hacia el oeste. El patrón anastomosado de la foliación milonítica habría generado los espacios donde se emplazaron las pegmatitas, los cuales se enfriaron y cristalizaron de manera simultánea con una deformación. Las pegmatitas discordantes representan canales de ascenso del magma a través de fracturas extensionales T. Con la deformación progresiva, la mayoría de las pegmatitas originalmente discordantes sufrieron posteriormente cizallamiento y rotación hasta paralelizarse con la foliación milonítica regional, aflorando actualmente de manera subconcordante.
Granitic pegmatites emplacement from southern Comechingones pegmatitic field, Córdoba. Southern Comechingones pegmatitic field is composed of zoned Be-Nb-Ta-U−granite pegmatites with mostly lenticular morphologies, hosted in mylonitic rocks of the Guacha Corral shear zone. Important orientation changes in the host rock mylonitic foliation were identified, thus defining an anastomosed general pattern of the shear zone both at the outcropping and regional scale. Pegmatites were mostly conformably emplaced within mylonitic foliation. Discordant pegmatites were also described. An internal planar fabric defined by the orientation of quartz, feldspar and muscovite from the intermediate zone of the granitic pegmatites was developed during the Guacha Corral shear zone deformation. Mineral stretching lineations in pegmatites generally coincide with that of the mylonitic host rocks. Structural analysis suggest that pegmatites of the Comechingones pegmatitic field were emplaced synkinematically with the ductile amphibolite facies deformational event of the Guacha Corral shear zone, developed under progressive simple shear deformation. Almost pure reverse sense of shear with westward tectonic transport characterized this deformational event, developed during Famatinian orogeny. Anastomosed general pattern of the mylonitic foliation in the Guacha Corral shear zone was the responsible for the origin of the spaces in which pegmatites and granites emplaced. These rocks then cooled and crystallized simultaneously with progressive deformation. Moreover, discordant pegmatites constitute Riedel shear model T extensional fractures, and represented ascent magma channels. These structures would have been progressively sheared and rotated from their original orientation, until they were subparalell to the enclosing mylonitic foliation, outcropping at present time as almost conformably pegmatites.
