The São Francisco Craton (SFC) and its marginal Araçuaí and Brasília orogens exhibit a
significant diversity in their lithospheric architecture. These orogens were shaped during the …

The Neoproterozoic carbonate rocks of the Araras Group (Amazon Craton) and the Sete‐
Lagoas and Salitre Formations (São Francisco Craton) share a statistically indistinguishable …

The Araçuaí Orogen, in eastern Brazil, was formed during the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian
amalgamation of West Gondwana. During the Mesozoic–Cenozoic opening of the South …

Low-temperature thermochronology focuses on the comprehension of the upper crust's
thermal history, where morphotectonic processes take place. We present a robust …

The passive margin of southeastern Brazil is characterized by two coast-parallel mountain
ranges, Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira, separated by valleys partially covered with …

The deformation processes (eg accretionary or intraplate) occurring within the Borborema
Province have been widely discussed, however the eastern part of the central subprovince …

Abstract The South American Platform encompasses the São Francisco Craton (SFC) and
the Araçuaí-Ribeira orogenic system (AROS) located in the eastern Brazil. These geologic …

This study presents results from apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology to investigate
the thermal history and exhumation dynamics of the Rio Negro–Juruena basement, situated …

Abstract The Lower Congo region encompasses the South Atlantic passive margin of the
Democratic Republic of Congo (Central Africa). It is host to the lowermost course of the …

Passive margins form in response to rifting affecting a continental area. Rifting evolution is
dependent on structural and rheological inheritance, generally controlling differential …
