    The Early Paleozoic of the NE Brazilian sedimentary basins are key to understanding the primeval depositional environments and paleogeography of Western Gondwana after its final assembly. In this context, determining the sedimentary provenance of the Early Paleozoic Cariri Formation (basal unit of the Araripe Basin) may improve paleogeographic reconstructions and stratigraphic correlations. Despite the Araripe Basin being one of the best-studied interior basins of northeastern Brazil, the Cariri Formation lacks detailed geochronological and sedimentary provenance analyses, which hamper precise definitions of its depositional age, sedimentary source areas and paleogeography. Considering this scenario, we performed a combined multiproxy approach, including sedimentologic and stratigraphic analysis, detrital zircon U–Pb dating and provenance studies based on trace elements in detrital rutile. The maximum depositional age for the Cariri Formation suggests that its sedimentation started after the Late Cambrian. Detrital zircon ages and detrital rutile provenance indicate that the primary source areas for the Cariri Formation fluvial system were the orogenic terranes related to the Brasiliano Orogeny, located at the SE of the Borborema Province (e.g., Sergipano Belt), with secondary, but also important, the contribution of Cambrian sources. Records of this event are also found in northern Africa, where units related to the Neoproterozoic East African-Antarctic and Pan African orogens provided sediments for basin-scale fluvial systems.

    The Ediacaran Rio Doce magmatic arc in the Araçuaí – ribeira boundary sector, southeast Brazil : lithochemistry and isotopic (Sm–Nd and Sr) signatures.

    The Rio Doce magmatic arc, developed from ca. 630 to ca. 580 Ma on an active continental margin, linking the Araçuaí and Ribeira orogens in southeastern Brazil. The arc plutonic portion comprises the G1 supersuite, a calcalkaline, magnesian, I-type pre-collisional rock-assemblage, mostly composed of tonalite to granodiorite, frequently containing dioritic to mafic enclaves, and their metamorphosed equivalents. We carried out field, petrographic, lithochemical and isotopic (Sm–Nd and Sr) studies on a segment of the Rio Doce arc located in the transition region between the Araçuaí and Ribeira orogens. The studied samples include metamorphozed granitic rocks (referred to by their igneous names in the QAP diagram), consisting of syenogranite, monzogranite, granodiorite, tonalite, quartz diorite, orthopyroxene-bearing tonalite and orthopyroxene-bearing quartz diorite. This rock assemblage defines an I-type, magnesian, metaluminous to slightly peraluminous, medium-to high-K, expanded calc-alkaline series. The numerous mafic to dioritic enclaves and related features indicate magma mixing processes. Isotopic data show moderately to strongly negative εNd(t) values (− 2.9 to − 13.6) and intermediate to high 86Sr/87Sr ratios (0.7067–0.7165) suggests assimilation of older crustal material (i.e., the Juiz de Fora and Pocrane complexes, enclosing paragneisses), which is also indicated by Nd TDM model ages from 1.19 Ga to 2.13 Ga. Magmatic orthopyroxene and high content of CaO in garnet suggest magma crystallization in the deep crust. Together, our data point out to a combination of partial melting of mantle wedge in the subduction zone, deep crustal anatexis, host rock assimilation, and crystal fractionation for magma genesis in the southeastern Rio Doce arc.
