Abstract
Geochemical data for granulite terrain are presented in the northernmost portion of the Guaxupé Massif, at Mantiqueira Province, SE Brazil. Several types of granulites are recognized in the area: basic, intermediate and acid granulite. Major and trace elements (including REE) point to only one magma source for these granulites generated at different times. Geochemical data point to plagioclase and apatite fractionation as the responsable by the REE behaviour in intermediate and more basic rocks. Overall composition of the Guaxupé Granulites is similar to average described worldwide in the literature to the lower crust.
