Abstract

The paleontological, isotopic and geochronological data summarized below support the paleogeographic and temporal correlation between Itapucumi (Paraguay) and Corumba (Brazil) groups, suggesting a coeval sedimentary evolution of these units in the margins of the Amazon Craton and the Rio Apa Block.
