Paleontological data obtained in recent years reinforce the hypothesis that Aptian marine
sedimentation in the sedimentary basins of the Brazilian continental margin-except the …

The longevity of cratons is generally attributed to persistence of neutrally-to-positively
buoyant and mechanically strong lithosphere that shields the cratonic crust from underlying …

It is a common assumption that elevated passive continental margins have remained high
since rifting and breakup. Here, we show that the Atlantic margin of NE Brazil has …

In the last decade, detailed geomorphological analyses of northeast Brazil led the authors to
publish a model of landscape development in which long-term landform evolution was …

Many studies of elevated, passive continental margins (EPCMs) assume that their
characteristic, large-scale morphology with high-level plateaux and deeply incised valleys …

This paper is concerned with the famous fossil-bearing carbonate concretions of the
Romualdo Member of the Santana Formation Konservat Lagerstätten of north-east Brazil …

Despite many years of study, the processes involved in the post-breakup development of
passive margins remain poorly understood. Integration of apatite fission track analysis …

The laminated limestones of the Early Cretaceous Crato Formation of the Araripe Basin
(North‐eastern Brazil) are world‐famous for their exceptionally well‐preserved and …

At the border between the states of Ceará and Pernambuco (northeast Brazil), the Chapada
do Araripe is a high plateau (800–1000 m asl) formed by a slab of Cenomanian fluvial …

From the Parnaiba Basin to the Borborema Plateau (northeastern Brazil), the crystalline and
sedimentary highlands and plains of the huge Jaguaribe–Piranhas amphitheatre are …
