Strain Partitioning along Terrane Bounding and Intraterrane Shear Zones: Constraints from a Long-Lived Transpressional System in West Gondwana (Ribeira Belt, Brazil)

F. M. Faleiros et al.

Summary: In this study, a multiscale approach was used to investigate the shear zone system in the Ribeira Belt, Southeast Brazil. The findings reveal different deformation regimes and metamorphic conditions along the shear zones, as well as intermittent activities over time. The spatial and temporal record of these shear zones is crucial for understanding the assembly and tectonic evolution of the Ribeira Belt.

New Maps of Global Geological Provinces and Tectonic Plates

Derrick Hasterok et al.

Summary: Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are crucial for analyzing geoscientific data and developing lithosphere models. This study presents a global compilation of these models, refined with various constraints and showing improved correlation with earthquake and volcano occurrences. While there is room for improvement, these digital maps provide a consistent data standard for geoscientific databases.

Maria Alice Nascimento Fagundes de Araga et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the Western African Sub-Saharan continental margin and provides an integrated analysis of geological, seismic, and potential field data. The findings reveal the presence of distinct margin types and a complex structural framework with different architectural elements and magmatism. The study also proposes a new continent-ocean boundary in the Namibe Basin that aligns with the limits recognized on the South America side.

Conjugate volcanic passive margins in the austral segment of the South Atlantic - Architecture and development

Francois Chauvet et al.

Summary: The thorough interpretation of the South Atlantic long-offset seismic lines provides a new perspective on the magmatic and crustal architecture of the conjugate volcanic passive margins along the austral segment. The study reveals a correlation between crust thinning profiles and the geometric attributes of seaward dipping reflector sequences (SDR), suggesting a genetic relationship related to magma-assisted lithospheric break-up. The South Atlantic margins exhibit moderate but significant asymmetry, with a change towards more symmetric architecture near highly magmatic areas.

The onset of the right-lateral strike-slip setting recorded in magnetic fabrics of A-type granite plutons of the Ribeira belt (SE Brazil)

Carlos J. Archanjo et al.

Summary: Strike-slip shear zones formed during continental collisions accommodate the convergence and indentation of rigid cratonic blocks, with shear deformation associated with syntectonic granitic magmatism in high-temperature settings. The A-type plutons constrain the onset of ductile transpressional deformation at approximately 595 Ma and continued up to 550 Ma in the western Ribeira belt, marking a transition to more brittle transtensional conditions. These results are consistent with the convergence and indentation of the Congo-Sao Francisco craton, partitioning deformation across the orogen and promoting lateral escape through dextral shear zones.

Pre-to-syn-rift tholeiitic magmatism in a transtensive hyperextended continental margin: Onshore and offshore magmatism of the Campos Basin, SE Brazil

Julio Almeida et al.

Summary: The geochemical and isotopic signatures of dyke swarms are crucial in defining tectonic environments and isotopic reservoirs. The Buzios-Cabo Frio dyke swarm represents pre-rift magmatism in the Campos Basin's onshore basement associated with the break-up of Gondwana. The FC evolutionary model for low-TiO2 tholeiitic magmatism is supported by petrological observations, suggesting emplacement at less than 10 km deep.

Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Orphan Basin and Flemish Pass region ? Part 1: Results from coupled kinematic restoration and crustal area balancing

Adam J. Cawood et al.

Summary: The structural evolution of the Orphan Basin and Flemish Pass region reveals the presence of low-angle extensional detachments and widespread crustal thinning. Analysis of seismic data indicates that approximately 39% of the extension across the cross-section is unresolved in seismic data, with rifts influencing sediment distribution in the region.

Late neoproterozoic P-T-t paths of syn- and post-collisional metamorphism in the Paranagua Terrane, Ribeira Belt (Brazil): implications for West Gondwana assembly

D. Patias et al.

Summary: The study reveals a clockwise Pressure-Temperature-time metamorphic evolution in the Paranagua Terrane and compares it with other tectonic belts, showing contrasting metamorphic evolutions between South America and Africa during West Gondwana assembly. The Paranagua Terrane experienced three tectonometamorphic stages, with the first two associated with collisional processes and the third with post-collisional processes. This dataset provides insights into the evolution of southwest Gondwana units.
