Neoproterozoic tectonic geography was dominated by the formation of the supercontinent
Rodinia, its break-up and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. The Neoproterozoic …

Analysis of recent geological and geochronological data from the basement of the South
American platform indicates that the Brasiliano orogenic collage took place in four distinct …

The Congo (CC) and the São Francisco (SFC) cratons were joined at about 2.05 Ga;
northern parts of Palaeoproterozoic basement subsequently underwent extension at about 1 …

The Mantiqueira Province (MPV) is a large, complex structural province deformed by the
Neoproterozoic/Early Paleozoic Brasiliano Orogenic event in South America. Its evolution is …

Abstract The Borborema Province has three major subprovinces. The northern subprovince
lies north of the Patos shear zone and is comprised of Paleoproterozoic cratonic basement …

We present a tomographic model of the crust, upper mantle and transition zone beneath the
South Atlantic, South America and Africa. Taking advantage of the recent growth in …

Four main classes of tectonic entities may be considered for the Ribeira Belt and southwest
African counterparts:(1) cratonic fragments older than 1.8 Ga and their passive margin …

This paper examines the extensive regions of Proterozoic accretionary belts that either
formed most of the Amazonian Craton, or are marginal to its southeastern border. Their …

The Brasília Belt is one of the most complete Neoproterozoic orogens in western Gondwana.
Rapid progress on the understanding of the tectonic evolution of the belt was achieved due …

The assembly of West Gondwana was completed by the end of the Precambrian, when the
Amazonian, West African, São Francisco-Congo, Kalahari and Rio de la Plata cratons, as …
