摘要
Structural mapping of key areas linked by reconnaissance investigations in the southern Brazilian portion of the Brasiliano/Pan-African Dom Feliciano Belt has shown the importance of large-scale flat-lying and strike-slip shear zones in the tectonic evolution of this belt. These zones of intense deformation form km-thick mylonitic belts in Brasiliano granites and supracrustal rocks as well as their Transamazonian/Eburnian basement. Structures developed within flat-lying shear zones under metamorphic conditions of amphibolite facies are interpreted as having formed during oblique collision between crustal blocks - the Kalahari Craton and the Magmatic Arc I - in which the direction of tectonic transport was NW-SE. Further collision between this assemblage and the Rio de La Plata Craton gave rise to a transpressive regime whose tectonic transport direction is indicated by regionally consistent NE/SW-oriented stretching lineations, parallel to the belt's length.
