Basement inliers of the Ara?ua?-West Congo orogen: key pieces for understanding the evolution of the Sa?o Francisco-Congo paleocontinent

Matheus Kuchenbecker et al.

Summary: The Aracuai-West Congo orogen is a confined orogen formed during the Neoproterozoic assembly of Gondwana. This paper presents a detailed review of the geological knowledge about each of the basement inliers and proposes paleogeographic scenarios for the Minas-Bahia orogeny.

Rayleigh wave group velocity maps at periods of 10-150 s beneath South America

Andre Vinicius de Sousa Nascimento et al.

Summary: This study presents fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocity maps at periods of 10-150 s beneath South America, based on new data from permanent and temporary networks. The analysis of waveform data from 1043 earthquakes recorded by 282 stations reveals variations in group velocities across the continent, with fast group velocities correlating with high-density regions and slow group velocities in low-density areas. Small-scale heterogeneities in group velocities are identified, providing insights into the geological features of the region.

Late Paleozoic tectono-sedimentary evolution of eastern Chaco-Parana Basin (Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay)

Gerardo Veroslavsky et al.

Summary: The study conducted geological research on the Chaco-Parana Basin in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, proposing a regional tectonic-sedimentary evolution model for the Late Paleozoic megasequences. It divided the basin fill into three megasequences, revealing marine sedimentation characteristics and potential hydrocarbon resources in the area.

Lithospheric Architecture of the Paranapanema Block and Adjacent Nuclei Using Multiple-Frequency P-Wave Seismic Tomography

G. M. P. C. Affonso et al.

Summary: The study presents a new P-wave seismic tomographic model for the Parana Basin region using a multiple-frequency approach, with higher resolution than previous studies. The basement of the Parana Basin is characterized by a NE-SW trending P-wave high-velocity anomaly, consistent with earlier reports, with a distinct boundary between it and the Sao Francisco Craton.

Lithosphere of South American intracratonic basins: Electromagnetic and potential field data reveal cratons, terranes, and sutures

Gabriel N. Dragone et al.

Summary: The magnetotelluric survey in Argentina revealed that the lithospheres of CPB and PB have high resistivity but distinct geological properties. The boundary between CPB and PB is marked by a crustal conductor, indicating different geological processes in the underlying mantle. These findings suggest complex geological structures affecting the lithospheres in the region.

Rayleigh wave group velocity maps at periods of 10-150 s beneath South America

Andre Vinicius de Sousa Nascimento et al.

Summary: This study presents fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocity maps related to the lithosphere beneath South America, showing variations at different periods. The fast group velocities are associated with high-density areas and exposed basement, while slow group velocities are correlated with sedimentary basins and low-density regions.
