Abstract Barremian–Aptian (Lower Cretaceous) Pre-Salt lacustrine carbonates host large
petroleum reservoirs in South Atlantic rift basins, yet remain poorly studied, in part due to the …

The breakup of Pangaea was accompanied by extensive, episodic, magmatic activity.
Several Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) formed, such as the Central Atlantic Magmatic …

Large igneous provinces are exceptional intraplate igneous events throughout Earth's
history. Their significance and potential global impact are related to the total volume of …

We present a revised model for the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean founded on a
remapping of the continent—ocean boundaries and Aptian salt basins, the chronology of …

Abstract The South Atlantic Ocean evolved after rupture of the São Francisco–Congo–Rio
de la Plata–Kalahari cratonic landmass and the Late Proterozoic fold belts. Break-up in the …

Abstract The Pelotas Basin is the classical example of a volcanic passive margin displaying
large wedges of seaward-dipping reflectors (SDR). The SDR fill entirely its rifts throughout …

The thorough interpretation of the South Atlantic long offset seismic lines provides a new
view of the magmatic and crustal architecture and of the evolution of the conjugate volcanic …

All Earth Science students need to understand the origins, environments, and basic
processes that produce igneous and metamorphic rocks. This concise introductory textbook …

The Campos, Santos and Pelotas basins have been investigated in terms of 2D seismo-
stratigraphy and subsidence. The processes controlling accommodation space (eg eustacy …

The terrigeneous sediment budget of passive margin basins records variations in
continental relief triggered by either deformation or climate. Consequently, it becomes a …
