Abstract in Portuguese
As brechas vulcânicas do maciço alcalino de Tunas são estudadas detalhadamente com base na sua petrografia e análise de minerais da matriz por microssonda. O maciço é formado de sienitos, sienitos alcalinos, gabros, monzogabros, dioritos, monzodioritos, veios pegmatóides e diques alcalinos (traquitos, microssienitos e bostonitos). Essas rochas consistem de feldspatos, clinopiroxênios, biotitas e anfibólios em maior quantidade e, subordinadamente, de olivina, feldspatóides ou quartzo, opacos, zircão e apatita. São descritos sete corpos de brechas aflorando em localidades diferentes do maciço, quatro na sua porção noroeste e três na parte central. As brechas, classificadas como intrusivas de conduto e tufisíticas, são constituídas por clastos de rochas formadoras do maciço, rochas encaixantes e por fragmentos essenciais. Elas são também separadas com base no tipo de matriz. O cálculo da proporção dos clastos em relação à matriz para fins de classificação textural, efetuado em diversas etapas, permite distinguir brechas suportadas por matriz, por matriz e clastos e somente clasto(tipo menos comum). Análises de fedspatos e piroxênios por microssonda revelam a estreita associação dessas rochas com as demais litologias alcalinas do maciço. O modo de ocorrência, o tamanho, a forma e a composição dos clastos e o tipo de matriz das brechas de Tunas são comparados com dados de literatura. Para a sua formação propõe-se uma origem com base nos processos de fluidização, com participação de correntes fluidizadas.

Abstract in English
The volcanic breccias of the Tunas álcali massif are studied in details through their petrography and analysis of the matrix minerals by microprobe. The massif is formed by syenites, alkali syenitesm pegmatoides veins and alkali dikes (trachytes, microsyenites and bostonites). These rocks are fundamentally composed of feldspars, clinopyroxenes, biotites and amphiboles and, subordinately, of olivines, feldspatoids or quartz, opaques, zircon and apatite. Seven breccia bodies are described in different outcrops of the massif, four bodies in the northwest portion and three bodies in the central portion. The breccias are classified as intrusives of conduit and "tufisiticas". They are constituted of clasts of rocks that form the massif of country rocks and of essencial fragments. These rocks are also classified by the kind of matrix. The proportional balance of the clasts about the matriz (based on textural classification) permits the distinction of the breccias as: "matrix-supported", "clast-matrix-supported" and "clast-supported". The microprobe analysis of feldspars and pyroxenes shows the association of these rocks with the other alkali lithologys of the massif. The kind of matrix, the size, the form, the composition and how the clasts appear are compared with information from literature. We propose (for its formation) a fluidization process with fluidity currents.
