The reactivation of the Brazilian Platform during the Mesozoic had a strong influence on the present geological configuration of south and southeast Brazil, resulting in the opening of the South Atlantic and the generation of the marginal basins that today host important volumes of hydrocarbon deposits. The magmatism related to this reactivation is expressive, corresponding to the second …
The project aims to a study of the geodynamic evolution of units that formed Western Gondwana from Mesoproterozoic to Eopaleozoic, a period of time that includes the episodes of Rodinia formation, its disaggregation and the later amalgamation of Gondwana. Rock samples will be collected from the selected units for the obtention of paleomagnetic, geochemical and geochronological data. in th…
The magmatism related to the tectonic processes responsible for the Gondwana supercontinent breakup and the Paraná Magmatic Province (PMP) genesis still poses several unanswered questions. One of them refers to the duration of the PMP main extrusive phase; another one concerns the number and duration of previous and subsequent magmatic events. In addition, the relationship between magmati…
The geodynamical processes related to the genesis of large igneous provinces are scarcely known, and they are essential to the understanding of ocean spreading tectonics, including South Atlantic opening. In this context, the southern area of the Brazilian territory has a great relevance, since it holds one of the biggest magmatic events of the globe: the Paraná Magmatic Province (PMP). I…
In contrast to the Paraná Magmatic Province, which is characterized by fast eruption rates, the associated subalkaline rocks of Serra do Mar Dyke Swarm (Southeast Brazil) show a much larger time span, suggesting the involvement of distinct lithospheric processes. However, the compositional features of the dykes, the presence of inclusions and secondary minerals, and the possible thermal d…
Recent geochronological and paleomagnetic data of the Serra do Mar Dyke Swarm (SMDS, Southeastern Brazil) indicate that the tholeiitic magmatism might have started during the Jurassic period (~156 Ma) and lasted until the Paleogene period (~55 Ma). These data imply that these intrusions have occurred during a much wider time interval than the volcanism of the Paraná Magmatic Province (133…
