      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. ...
    • 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. ...
    • 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 ...
