São Francisco Craton, Eastern Brazil, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017 Tectonic Genealogy of a Miniature Continent Regional Geology Reviews Series
Coordonnateurs : Heilbron Monica, Cordani Umberto G., Alkmim Fernando F.
Corresponding to the most intensively studied portion of the Precambrian nucleus of the South American plate, the São Francisco craton and its margins host a rock record that spans from the Paleoarchean to the Cenozoic. Precambrian sedimentary successions that witness ancient Earth processes - many of them of global significance - are especially well preserved and exposed in this region. With all these attributes the São Francisco craton together with its fringing orogenic belts can be viewed as a ?continent within a continent? or a ?continent in miniature?.
From the Contents: PART I Overview.- PART II The craton basement.- PART III The intracratonic and marginal basins.- PART IV The intraplate Magmatic Episodes.- PART V The marginal belts.- PART VI Tectonic Synthesis.- Tectonic evolution of the São Francisco craton and its margin.
