Between the 9º 30'S and 3º30'S parallels, the fold belt is represented by the Baixo Araguaia Group, an ophiolitc belt, some granitic bodies and by the Rio das Barreiras Formation. The Baixo Araguaia Group comprises three formations named, from the bottom to the top, Estrondo, Couto Magalhães and Pequizeiro, the latter one being of magmatic-sedimentary characted related to the ophiolitic belt. The ophiolitic belt is associated to the Tocantins-Araguaia geosuture, which seems to be manifested at the surface only in the northern region by a thrust fault, where glaucophanitic greenschist facies rocks have been recognized. The fold belt evolution shows a western trending polarity for the geosynclinal phenomena, except for the basic-ultrabasic magmatism.porAcesso AbertoEstratigrafiaFormação EstrondoFormação Couto MagalhãesFormação Rio das BarreirasFormação PequizeiroCráton AmazônicoGoiás - EstadoPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraArtigo de Periódico
