Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Depósitos flúvio-costeiros da Formação Raizama, Ediacarano-Cambriano da faixa Paraguai Norte, região de Nobres, Mato Grosso, Brasil(2014-12) SANTOS, Hudson Pereira; SILVA JÚNIOR, José Bandeira Cavalcante da; NOGUEIRA, Afonso César Rodrigues; ABRANTES JÚNIOR, Francisco RomérioThe Ediacaran-Cambrian Raizama Formation presents siliciclastic deposits exposed discontinuously along of the southern margin of the Amazon Craton and the Northern Paraguay Belt, Central-Western Brazil. These deposits are interpreted as progradational coastal succession conformably overling the carbonate platform succession of the Upper Araras Group. The facies and stratigraphic analysis of outcrop section were carried out in the Nobres region, State of Mato Grosso, allowed the individualization of seventeen facies, grouped into five facies associations (FA): FA1) lower shoreface, consisting of sandstone with parallel and wave-truncated lamination (microhummocky) parted by laminated mudstones, locally bioturbed by Skolithos; FA2) upper shoreface, composed by parallel and swaley cross bedded sandstone; FA3) subtidal, represented by sandstones with tangential and through cross stratifications drapped by siltstone/very fine sandstone laminae interpreted as channel and bar deposits; FA4) tidal flat is characterized by sandstones with tangential and sigmoidal cross bedding, even parallel stratification, low-angle cross bedding, mud cracks, siltstone/very fine sandstone rhythmites with flaser bedding, organized in shallowing-meter scale cycles; and FA5) distal braid plain consisting of sandstones with through cross-bedding and laterally discontinuous lags, parallel stratification and low-angle cross stratification partially reworked by wave. The sedimentation of the Raizama Formation suggests an increase in the siliciclastic supply linked to uplift regions of the Craton in the northwest of the studied area, succeeding the Araras carbonate platform deposits. Tubular trace fossils in the FA1 indicate, by the first time, the presence of burrowed organisms, what strongly points to an age near of the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Reconstituição paleoambiental das formações Motuca e Sambaíba, Permo-Triássico da Bacia do Parnaíba no sudoeste do Estado do Maranhão, Brasil(2013-09) ABRANTES JÚNIOR, Francisco Romério; NOGUEIRA, Afonso César RodriguesThe interval between the Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic was marked by paleogeographic and paleoclimatic global changes, partly attributed to catastrophic events. The intense continentalization of the supercontinent Pangaea of End-Permian propitiated the development of extensive deserts that succeeded the coastal and platform environments of Early Permian. The records of these events in northern Brazil are found in intracratonic basins, particularly in the Permo-triassic succession of the Parnaíba Basin. The facies and stratigraphic outcrops analysis of this succession allowed the individualization of 14 sedimentary facies grouped into four facies associations (FA): FA1 and FA2 related to deposits of Motuca Formation and, FA3 and FA4, representative of the base of Sambaíba Formation. The FA1 - Shallow lake/Mudflat consists of red laminated mudstone with lenses of gypsum, calcite and marl, besides lobes of sigmoidal sandstones. The FA2 - Saline pan consists of lenticular bodies of laminated gypsum, nodular gypsum and gypsarenite, overlapped by greenish mudstones with dolomite nodules and palygorskite. The FA3 - sand sheet and FA4 - dunes field are formed, respectively, for orange cream sandstones with even parallel stratification and medium- to large-scale cross-bedding. In the contact between Motuca and Sambaíba formations occurs a deformed interval, laterally continuous for hundreds of kilometers. Brecciated and contorted bedded siltstones and mudstone (Motuca Formation) and sandstone with sinsedimentary faults/microfaults, convolute lamination and mud-filled injection dykes (Sambaíba Formation) are interpreted as seismites triggered by high magnitude earthquakes (> 8 according Richter scale).
