Decratonization by rifting enables orogenic reworking and transcurrent dispersal of old terranes in NE Brazil [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Dispersion and deformation of cratonic fragments within orogens require weakening of the craton margins in a process of decratonization. The orogenic Borborema Province, in NE Brazil, is one of several Brasiliano/Pan-African late Neoproterozoic orogens ...

Differential exhumation of cratonic and non-cratonic lithosphere revealed by apatite fission-track thermochronology along the edge of the São Francisco craton, eastern Brazil [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lithosphere of cratons and orogens generally reacts differently to tectonic events. Although these differences are mostly clear during the orogenic phases, understanding how they respond to tectonic reactivation is still challenging.

Late Cryogenian and late Paleozoic ice ages on the São Francisco craton, east Brazil
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The miniature paleocontinent in the region of the São Francisco River valley, in eastern Brazil, holds the record of two different glacial epochs. The late Cryogenian Jequitaí Formation from the Bambuí Group is up to 100 m thick and covers areas mainly ...
