Popis: We present new in situ geochronological data of controversial silicic metavolcanic rocks from the lower terrigenous-metavolcanic sequence of the São Roque Group, Ribeira Belt, confirming that they are older than the rocks of higher-metamorphic grade sequences of the Serra do Itaberaba Group. The age of the Polvilho meta-trachydacite was established at 1760 ± 17 Ma, furthermore the results suggest that the bi-modal volcanism of the Boturuna Formation has parent melts from an old (Archean to Paleoproterozoic) continental crust that was melted in a within-plate environment. Trace-element chemistry of zircon, suggests similarities with high-temperature melts (T Zrsat = 900–915ºC) similar to A-type granites (high negative EuN/EuN* and moderate positive CeN/CeN*) from continental sources under reducing conditions.
