Resumo
A formação geológica Rio Claro constitui um dos mais importantes registros sedimentares cenozóicos da Depressão Periférica Paulista. Apesar de essa formação geológica ser muito estudada, sua idade ainda encontra-se indeterminada. De modo a contribuir aos conhecimentos sobre a formação geológica Rio Claro, o trabalho objetivou um estudo geocronológico de seus sedimentos. Para isso, foram estudas cinco amostras sedimentares coletadas de pontos arbitrários da formação geológica, as quais foram denominadas de DSRC- 09, DSRC-10, DSRC-21, DSRC-22 e DSRC-23, e caracterizadas pela técnica da termoluminescência (TL). Grãos de quartzo de diâmetros entre 75 a 180 μm foram utilizados na caracterização. As amostras apresentaram sinal de termoluminescência natural entre 200 e 450 °C. Com exceção da amostra DSRC 22, todas as amostras apresentaram região de Plateau, que indica a região da curva de emissão que se manteve estável durante o período geológico a temperatura ambiente. A região de Plateau de DSRC-09, DSRC-10, DSRC 21 e DSRC-23 compreendeu o intervalo de temperatura de 320 a 380 °C. Pelo método Tm-Tstop se observou a presença de três picos constituindo a curva de emissão termoluminescente nessa região de temperatura. O nível residual da TL foi obtido após 80 horas de exposição dos grãos de quartzo à luz solar. Os sedimentos apresentaram não estar saturados, pois a intensidade do sinal TL aumentou em função de dose adicional artificial. Para a avaliação da idade dos sedimentos, o pico de 325 °C foi isolado e a energia de ativação foi calculada pelo método de crescimento inicial. As idades de deposição obtidas para as amostras DSRC-09, DSRC-10 e DSRC-21 foram respectivamente de 188.000 anos, 210.000 anos e 166.000 anos.
The geological formation Rio Claro constitutes one the most important sedimentary records of São Paulo Peripheral Depression. Although this geological formation is too much studied, its age yet is not determinate. To contribute to knowledge about Rio Claro geological formation, the work aimed a geocronological study of its sediments. For this, five sedimentary samples collected from arbitrary points were studied, which were called DSRC-09, DSRC-10, DSRC- 21, DSRC-22 and DSCR 23, and characterized by thermoluminescence technique. Grains of quartz with diameter between 75 and 180 μm were utilized to characterize it. The samples showed natural thermoluminescence signal between 200 and 450 °C. Except for the sample DSRC 22, all samples showed Plateau region, indicating that the region of glow curve remained stable during the geological time at environment temperature. Plateau region of DSRC-09, DSCR-10, DSRC-21 and DSRC-23 was defined by temperature range of 320 °C to 380°C. The method Tm-Tstop showed that the glow curves are composed by tree peaks in this temperature range. The residual TL was obtained after 80 hours of sunlight exposure. The sediments had not been saturated, because the TL signal intensity increased according to the artificial additional dose. For evaluation of the age sediments, the 325 °C peak was isolated and the activation energy was calculated by the method initial rise. The deposition ages for the samples DSRC-09, DSRC-10 and DSRC-21were respectively 188.000, 210.000 and 166.000 years.
