• Arc-like magmatism in syn- to post-collisional setting: The Ediacaran Angra Fria Magmatic Complex (NW Namibia) and its cross-Atlantic correlatives in the south Brazilian Florianópolis Batholith 

      Janousek, Vojtěch; Florisbal, Luana Moreira; Konopásek, Jiří; Jeřábek, Petr; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima; Gadas, Petr; Erban, Vojtěch; Kopačková-Strnadová, Veronika (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-27)
      Ediacaran syn-tectonic plutonic rocks (amphibole gabbros, quartz diorites/tonalites to biotite- and muscovite-bearing granites) of the Angra Fria Magmatic Complex (Kaoko Belt, north-western Namibia) belong to two compositionally similar, magnesian, transitional tholeiitic–calc-alkaline suites, the Older (∼625–620 Ma) and the Younger (∼585–575 Ma). Both have counterparts in the broadly contemporaneous ...
    • Autochthonous origin of the Encruzilhada Block, Dom Feliciano Belt, southern Brazil, based on aerogeophysics, image analysis and PT-paths 

      De Toni, Giuseppe Betino; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima; Konopásek, Jiří; Battisti, Matheus Ariel; da Costa, Elisa Oliveira; Savian, Jairo Francisco (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-04)
      The Encruzilhada Block lies between the eastern hinterland and western foreland of the Dom Feliciano Belt (southern Brazil) and its tectonic meaning in the orogenic evolution of the belt is still poorly understood. Its low magnetic signal is similar to that of the foreland supracrustal sequences, whereas the high gammaspectrometric signal appears due to the hinterland post-collisional granitoids. ...
    • P-T-D evolution of the southeast Passo Feio Complex and the meaning of the Caçapava Lineament, Dom Feliciano Belt, southernmost Brazil 

      da Costa, Elisa Oliveira; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima; Tennholm, Tonje; Konopásek, Jiří; Moita, Thayse de Franceschi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-05)
      Metamorphic–deformation paths and interpretations of regional structures are essential for the understanding of how orogens evolve. While in active orogens, structures can be easily mapped for hundreds of kilometres, regional structures in ancient mountain belts may appear only as subsurface geophysical data. In this paper, we constrain the metamorphic–deformation history of the southeastern part ...
    • Pre-orogenic connection of the foreland domains of the Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogenic system 

      Percival, Jack James; Konopásek, Jiří; Eiesland, Ragnhild; Sláma, Jiří; Campos, Roberto Sacks de; Battisti, Matheus Ariel; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-30)
      Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks in the foreland domains of the Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogenic system record sedimentation from the breakup of Rodinia to the amalgamation of Gondwana, and thus provide ideal subjects for investigation of the mutual pre-orogenic positions of rifted margins of the African and South American cratonic blocks. U–Pb isotopic dating of zircon in the Brusque Complex ...
    • Reconstruction of a volcano-sedimentary environment shared by the Porongos and Várzea do Capivarita complexes at 790 Ma, Dom Feliciano Belt, southern Brazil 

      Battisti, Matheus Ariel; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima; Schmitt, Renata da Silva; Nardi, Lauro Valentim Stoll; Martil, Mariana Maturano Dias; De Toni, Giuseppe Betino; Pimentel, Márcio Martins; Armstrong, Richard; Konopásek, Jiří (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-22)
      This work investigates the pre-collisional (before ca. 650 Ma) history of the Dom Feliciano Belt in southernmost Brazil through geochronological and zircon oxygen isotope study. U–Pb SHRIMP dating of two orthogneiss samples from the Várzea do Capivarita Complex and one metarhyolite sample from the Porongos Complex yielded crystallisation ages of 786 ± 5 Ma, 780 ± 10 Ma and 787 ± 5 Ma, respectively. ...
    • Tectono-Metamorphic Evolution of the Northern Dom Feliciano Belt Foreland, Santa Catarina, Brazil: Implications for Models of Subduction-Driven Orogenesis 

      Percival, Jack James; Konopásek, Jiří; Anczkiewicz, Robert; Ganerød, Morgan; Slama, Jiri; Campos, Roberto Sacks de; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-27)
      The Dom Feliciano Belt in southern Brazil and Uruguay represents the western half of a Neoproterozoic orogenic belt located in the southern portion of the South Atlantic Neoproterozoic Orogenic System. Current interpretations are divided as to the nature of orogenesis in this belt, in part owing to lacking geochronological constraints. Metamorphosed and deformed supracrustal sequences of the Brusque ...
    • Transpressive strain partitioning between the Major Gercino Shear Zone and the Tijucas Fold Belt, Dom Feliciano Belt, Santa Catarina, southern Brazil 

      De Toni, Giuseppe Betino; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima; Konopásek, Jiří; Martini, Amos; Andrade, Pedro; Florisbal, Luana Moreira; Campos, Roberto Sacks de (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-15)
      A composite cross section from the Florianópolis Batholith towards the Tijucas Fold Belt in the northern Dom Feliciano Belt (southern Brazil) is divided in three structural domains: the Major Gercino Shear Zone, the suprastructural Brusque Complex and the infrastructural Camboriú Complex. A kinematic correlation among the structural domains is based on structural and petrological data integrated ...
