Abstract The Andrelândia Nappe System (ANS) is an important component of the
Neoproterozoic Southern Brasília Orogen (SBO) in SE Brazil and its evolution is related to …

Collisional orogens are a periodic manifestation of plate tectonics on Earth. They form by the
amalgamation of continental blocks, and they take place along both active and passive …

The southern Brasília Orogen is organized in a pile of nappes that records the

We present a detailed study of zircon petrochronology of UHT granulites combined with
charnockite petrogenesis, using geochemical and Sr single bond Nd isotopic constraints for …

The São Francisco Craton, in Brazil, together with adjacent orogenic systems formed during
Gondwana assemblage, are well-suited for the study of crustal growth processes. The …

This paper presents a detailed description of the Neoproterozoic Serra da Água Limpa
batholith (SALB) and the interpretation of its genesis. The batholith, located along the border …

Nappes in the southern sector of the Southern Brasília Belt record suturing of the
Paranapanema Block and Socorro–Guaxupé Arc with a subducted passive margin on the …
