An overview of the Amazonian craton evolution: insights for paleocontinental reconstruction
or
The United Plates of South America

Abstract

The Amazonian craton major accretionary and collisional processes may

be correlated to supercontinent assembly developed at several times in

the Earth history. Based on geologic, structural and paleomagnetic

evidence, paleocontinent reconstructions have been proposed for Archean

to younger times.

Biographical Details

Dr Mauro Cesar Geraldes is professor of Geochronology at Rio de

Janeiro State University/ Brazil. He worked in the mineral industry in

Amazonia region from 1996 to 1994 and got his master degree in 1996 in

economic geology and PhD in geochemistry and geochronology from

University of São Paulo (Brazil)/University of Kansas (EUA) in 2000.

His current research is focused on crustal evolution and its temporal

correlations with mineral deposits.
