Araguainha Dome, Brazil: A polygonal impact structure due to a complex pre‐impact regional structural framework

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1355-1385, July 2026.
Abstract We investigated the structural framework of the north–northwestern Paraná Basin in Brazil to test whether the pre‐impact structures in this region may have had any influence on the first‐order formation and morphostructure of the Araguainha impact structure (AIS).

Insights on the framework of the Carajás Province, Amazonian Craton, Brazil, and on the three-dimensional shape of the Carajás Basin, based on gravity data

Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil, 2019
This work interprets and models aerogravity data surveyed in the Carajás Province (also Carajás Domain) - Eastern Amazonian Craton, with the purpose of understanding the deep tectonic framework of this region and sketching the three-dimensional shape of ...

Morphological and compositional study of quartz and cassiterite of the Mocambo Granite, South Pará Tin Province, Amazonian Craton

Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2020
Quartz and cassiterite crystals of granite, greisens, and quartz veins from Mocambo Granite, Carajás Province, were studied by scanning electron microscopy — cathodoluminescence and electron microprobe. Five types of quartz were identified: Qz1, magmatic

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 568-588, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Through the Prism of eDNA: Exploring Cryptic Freshwater Bivalves Diversity in a Mega‐Diverse Tropical Environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Extensive eDNA sampling in remote tropical rivers revealed six new species, two of which were later confirmed through traditional surveys and formally described. eDNA also captured basin‐scale haplotype diversity, showing that pristine upstream areas harbor both more species and higher genetic diversity than sites affected by human activities ...

Climax of Late Paleoproterozoic Rift‐Related Magmatism in the Columbia Supercontinent: Insights From a 1.77–1.76 Ga Large Igneous Province of the Dunhuang Block, Northwest China

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Widespread mafic magmatism at ca. 1.8–1.7 Ga across fragments of the Columbia supercontinent records a transition in the Earth's supercontinent cycle. The paleogeographic position of the Dunhuang Block in northwestern China within Columbia, and its role in this tectonic reorganization, remain controversial.

Lithospheric origin of a diamond from the Rio Sorriso area, Mato Grosso State, Brazil

Frontiers in Geochemistry
Diamonds are unique samples that enlarge our vision of the physical and chemical reactions occurring in Earth’s deep, inaccessible mantle. By investigating the minerals and fluids trapped within them, it is possible to ascertain the key conditions ...

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 802-837, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

Rhyacian evolution of the eastern São Luís Craton: petrography, geochemistry and geochronology of the Rosário Suite

Brazilian Journal of Geology
: The São Luís Cráton comprises an area between northeast Pará state and northwest Maranhão that exposes Paleoproterozoic granitic suites and meta-volcanosedimentary sequences. In the east of this geotectonic unit, about 70 km south of São Luís, there is

Exploring the Gravimetric and Geochronological Links in Ancient Terranes of the São Francisco Craton and Borborema Province, NE‐Brazil

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 77-86, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Deep crustal fragments and structural lineaments identified through satellite gravity data provide evidence for the extension of the reworked ancient basement of the Central African Block into the northern São Francisco Craton and southern Borborema Province.
