Description
The Castelo Branco pluton is exposed over an area of 390 Km2 and consists of five late- to post-tectonic Hercynian granitic rocks, which intruded the Cambrian schist-metagraywacke complex. They are concentrically arranged. A medium- to fine-grained muscovite>biotite granite (G1) crops out in the pluton’s core and is surrounded by a medium- to fine-grained, slightly porphyritic biotite>muscovite granodiorite (G2), encircled by a medium- to coarse-grained porphyritic biotite>muscovite granodiorite (G3), grading into a medium- to coarse-grained porphyritic biotite = muscovite granite (G4). A coarse-grained muscovite>biotite granite (G5) forms only external parts of the pluton in the N and NE.
