The Prata Complex comprises a boomerang-like pluton separated in two parts by a mafic body, intruded into the Archean–Paleoproterozoic migmatite basement. The Prata Complex is divided into two distinct intrusions: a northern intrusion with a U-Pb crystallization age of c. 534 ± 3 Ma (U-Pb zircon SHIRIMP) (Sumé Pluton) and a southern intrusion with a crystallization age of c. 533 ± 4 Ma (U-Pb zircon SHIRIMP) (Santa Catarina Pluton).
The Sumé Pluton, about 250 km2 in size, comprises medium- to coarse-grained hornblende–biotite monzo- to syenogranites, with abundant hybrid rocks resulting from mixing with dioritic magma. The Santa Catarina Pluton, covering approximately 170 km2, primarily consists of coarse-grained porphyritic biotite syenogranite, which is the dominant lithotype and frequently encloses mafic enclaves. This lithotype is characterized by alkali-feldspar phenocrysts exhibiting rapakivi texture.
