Item Sedimentary provenance and role of tectonic inheritance on the control of the Macaúbas group, eastern margin of São Francisco Craton (SE Brazil).(2021) Oliveira, Rosana Gonçalves; Martins, Maximiliano de Souza; Queiroga, Gláucia Nascimento; Souza, Maria Eugênia Silva de; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho; Alkmim, Ana Ramalho; Silva, Marco Antônio Leandro da; Bueno, Cássio; Linhares, DavidsonThe Neoproterozoic Macaúbas Group represents the precursor basin system of the Araçuaí–West Congo orogen, located in the southern margin of Sao ̃ Francisco Craton, and records a Tonian volcano-sedimentary succession, at the base, overlain by a Cryogenian sequence related to the Neoproterozoic global glacial event. Detailed strat- igraphic surveys along the Tonian units allowed the identification of two lithofacies associations related to al- luvial fan and braided river environments, while the three Cryogenian lithofacies associations indicate a glaciomarine environment associated with extensive tectonics that has evolved into a marine environment. The results show that the age spectra of the Tonian and Cryogenian units are similar, differing mainly for an increased peak in the Cryogenian sample in ca. 1.0 Ga, where the primary source is probably related to those magmatic rocks associated with the Stenian-Tonian extensional breakup of the Sao ̃ Francisco-Congo paleocontinent. The KS-Test shows that not all the Tonian samples are similar to each other, as in all the Cryogenian samples. The detailed stratigraphic and structural surveys associated with the geochronological U–Pb data allow us to interpret that the Tonian and the basal Cryogenian sequences were deposited in two episodes of an active intracontinental tectonic context related to fault reactivations along the WNW-ESE Pirapora aulacogen structures in superimposed basin-cycles, the middle-to late-Cryogenian sequences extrapolated the WNW-ESE boundaries while the basin local depocenter and its surroundings expanded to a large depocenter during the basin evolution.Item Tectonics and sedimentation of the central sector of the Santo Onofre rift, north Minas Gerais, Brazil.(2017) Costa, Alice Fernanda de Oliveira; Danderfer Filho, AndréThe Santo Onofre Group registers the filling of a Tonian, intracontinental paleo-rift that developed along the northern and central Espinhaço regions. This paper examines this unit in the central Espinhaço region with stratigraphic analysis and U-Pb geochronology, reviewing and dividing into the Canatiba and Rio Peixe Bravo Formations, which include the Barrinha Member. The Canatiba Formation mainly comprises carbon-rich mudstones that were deposited through low-density turbidity flows that alternated with sediment settling under anoxic conditions. The Rio Peixe Bravo Formation consists of a succession of sandstones and minor mudstones, which were deposited through low- to high-density turbidity flows. The Barrinha Member mainly consists of conglomerates and is related to channelized debris flows. Detrital zircon grains show maximum depositional ages of 930 ± 33 Ma and around 865 Ma for the Canatiba and Rio Peixe Bravo Formations, respectively. We interpret the Santo Onofre rifting to be relative younger than that for the Sítio Novo Group and to be a precursor stage of the glacial and post-glacial rift-to-passive margin-related sequences of the Macaúbas Group. The lithostratigraphic term “Macaúbas Supergroup” would be of better use to accommodate the unconformity-bounded Tonian sequences that were related to the Rodinia breakup in the Congo-São Francisco paleocontinent.Item Extensional collapse in the Neoproterozoic Araçuaí orogen, eastern Brazil : a setting for reactivation of asymmetric crenulation cleavage.(2006) Marshak, Stephen; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de; Whittington, Alan; Soares, Antônio Carlos PedrosaThe Araçuaí orogen of eastern Brazil is one of many Brasiliano/Pan African orogens formed during the Neoproterozoic assembly of Gondwana. Its western edge, bordering the São Francisco craton, is the Serra do Espinhaço fold-thrust belt, in which top-up-to-the-west (reverse-sense) faults, west-verging folds (F1), and east-dipping spaced to phyllitic cleavage (S1) developed. We have found that the kinematics of deformation changes markedly at the hinterland margin of this fold-thrust belt. Here, beneath a plateau known as the Chapada Acauã, metadiamictite and fine-grained pelitic schist comprise an east-dipping belt that contains an assemblage of structures indicative of top-down-to-the-east (normal-sense) shear. This assemblage includes a cascade of F2 folds that refold F1 folds and verge down the dip of the belt's enveloping surfaces, vertical tension gashes, and top-down-to-the-east rotated clasts. Based on the presence of these structures, we propose that the plateau exposes a regional-scale normal-sense shear zone, here called the Chapada Acauã shear zone (CASZ). Because F2 folds refold F1 folds, normal-sense shear in the CASZ occurred subsequent to initial west-verging thrusting. Considering this timing of motion in the CASZ, we suggest that the zone accommodated displacement of the internal zone of the Araçuaí orogen down, relative to its foreland fold-thrust belt, and thus played a role in extensional collapse of the orogen. The CASZ trends parallel to preserved thrusts to the west, and thus may represent an inverted thrust fault. Notably, throughout the CASZ, S1 schistosity has been overprinted by a pervasive, west-dipping asymmetric crenulation cleavage (S2). The sigmoid shape of S1 surfaces in S2 microlithons require that slip on each S2 surface was top-down-to-the-west. S2 cleavage is axial-planar to the down-dip verging F2 folds. Based on its geometry, we suggest that S2 cleavage initiated either as an antithetic extensional crenulation cleavage during reverse-sense shear, or as a near vertical asymmetric crenulation cleavage formed during east–west shortening of a preexisting east-dipping schistosity. Subsequent normal-sense shear in the CASZ reactivated this cleavage, causing clockwise rotation of S2 domains (as viewed looking along-strike to the north), in a manner similar to that of rotational ‘bookshelf faults’. Such movement could have accommodated concomitant vertical flattening of the CASZ during extensional collapse.
