The Patos-Pernambuco shear system of NE Brazil: Partitioned intracontinental transcurrent deformation revealed by enhanced aeromagnetic data

Haakon Fossen et al.

Summary: This study uses enhanced aeromagnetic images to reveal internal details of the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian intracontinental Patos-Pernambuco shear system and estimate shear strains and displacements. The study confirms the sinistral nature of the shear zones in the Central Domain and suggests different deformation patterns in the Northern Domain.

Magnetic fabric of the early-Ediacaran Itapetim monzogranitic pluton: magma flow during oblique extension along strike-slip shear zones (Eastern Brazil)

Gustavo Viegas et al.

Summary: The Itapetim pluton is an S-shaped intrusion bounded by the NE-SW Itapetim and Taperoa shear zones. The emplacement mechanism of the pluton is characterized by bulk NNW-SSE shortening, NE-SW simple shear, and WNW-ESE/E-W dextral stretching. This study provides insights into the regional tectonics and emplacement processes of the Itapetim pluton.

Decratonization by rifting enables orogenic reworking and transcurrent dispersal of old terranes in NE Brazil

Carlos E. Ganade et al.

Summary: The dispersion and deformation of cratonic fragments within orogens require weakening of craton margins, leading to a process of decratonization. The Borborema Province in NE Brazil is one example of orogens that led to the amalgamation of Gondwana, with a period of extension and opening of narrow oceans preceding inversion and collision. This process involved the pulling away of the Sao Francisco Craton from the Benino-Nigerian Shield, followed by inversion of an oceanic basin and transpression.

Neoproterozoic magmatic arc volcanism in the Borborema Province, NE Brazil: possible flare-ups and lulls and implications for western Gondwana assembly

Fabricio Andrade Caxito et al.

Summary: The new data on rhyolitic metavolcanic and metavolcaniclastic rocks in NE Brazil provide insights into widespread arc-related phenomena during the Neoproterozoic, with major magmatic activities occurring around 635-600 Ma. The rocks are mostly calc-alkaline, magnesian, and peraluminous, with specific geochemical signatures such as LREE enrichment.

Long-lived intracontinental deformation associated with high geothermal gradients in the Serido Belt (Borborema Province, Brazil)

Caue R. Cioffi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the intracontinental deformation in the Borborema Province of Northeast Brazil, finding through thermodynamic modeling and petrochronology that the deformation lasted until at least 530-525 Ma and was influenced by high geothermal gradient conditions.

Late Ediacaran lateral-escape tectonics as recorded by the Patos shear zone (Borborema Province, NE Brazil)

Carlos Jose Archanjo et al.

Summary: The lateral escape tectonics mediated by strike-slip fault zones are an efficient mechanism of rock deformation in collision zones. The study in Northeastern Brazil reveals the timing of high-grade metamorphism and compositions of terranes involved in shear deformation. Partial melting was found to have occurred in the Late Ediacaran, and differential shear zone exhumation is indicated by cooling rates.
