“…Sial, 1976;1978;Silveira et al, 2002), having a K-Ar age of 19.7 Ma, whole-rock Ar-Ar age of 23.7 ± 1.2 Ma (Archanjo & Brito Neves, 2001), and high accuracy whole-rock Ar-Ar age of 24.6 ± 0.8 Ma (Souza et al, 2003). Recent Ar-Ar datings show late Oligocene ages, 24.6 ± 0.8, 24.8 ± 0.3, 25.5 ± 0.4Ma, and 25.5 ± 0.6 (Silveira, 2006). The rocks of the Cabugi Peak have normative nepheline, SiO 2 varying from 39% to 45%, and are characterised by enrichment of Ti, K, Sr, and Ba (Souza et al, 2003).…”

“…In the Rio de Janeiro State and its adjacent areas, there are a dozen of felsic alkaline intrusive rock bodies forming WNW-ESE alignments (Amaral et al, 1967;Almeida, 1976), called Poços de Caldas -Cabo Frio alkaline rock alignment (Figure 1), such as Itatiaia, Morro Redondo, Tinguá, Mendanha, Itaúna, Tanguá, Rio Bonito, Soarinho, Morro dos Gatos, Morro de São João, Cabo Frio Island (Motoki, 1979;Brotzu et al, 1989Brotzu et al, , 2007Mota et al, 2009;Motoki et al, 2012;Geraldes et al, 2013).…”

“…These rocks are relatively common in the Rio de Janeiro State and extracted as highly qualified as ornamental construction material (Petrakis et al, 2009). Some of the intrusive complexes such as Itatiaia, Mendanha (Motoki et al, 2012), Itaúna (Motoki et al, 2013a), Morro dos Gatos and Cabo Frio Island (Geraldes et al, 2013) have subvolcanic pyroclastic conduit and fissures made up of pyroclastic rocks (Mota and Geraldes, 2006;Motoki et al, 2013b). Along the alignment, there is Cambrian nepheline syenite gneiss of different genesis called Canaã complex.…”
