some <strong>of</strong> them show a crosscutting relationship with a second,<br />

later, magmatic domain. Cores occur in most <strong>of</strong> the grains.<br />

These are rounded in shape; generally, complex internal structures<br />

are absent. Radial micr<strong>of</strong>ractures from the cores are also<br />

<strong>pre</strong>sent, probably induced by metamictization-related volume<br />

expansion <strong>of</strong> the crystal lattice (e.g. Lee <strong>and</strong> Tromp, 1995).<br />

Fifteen analyses were performed on different zircon grains<br />

(Table 1) <strong>and</strong> plotted on a conventional Wetherill U/Pb Concordia<br />

diagram (Fig. 7). Eight analyses are significantly discordant,<br />

<strong>and</strong> were excluded from the age calculation. Two analyses<br />

(spots #11, #15) with high 207 *Pb/ 206 *Pb ages, are attributed<br />

to inherited, old zircons. The five remaining analyses (spots<br />

#1, #3, #4, #5, #6) define a Concordia age <strong>of</strong> 591 5.3 Ma,<br />

the best estimate for crystallization <strong>of</strong> the Teixeira pluton.<br />

Zircons extracted from the Serra Redonda pluton (sample<br />

SR1) are prismatic <strong>and</strong> euhedral, between 200 to 300 mm in<br />

length. The color varies from pinkish to light brown. CL images<br />

reveal typical magmatic oscillatory zoning. Eighteen zircon<br />

grains were dated (see Table 1). Most <strong>of</strong> the analytical points<br />
