“…The Brejo Seco and Paulistana complexes in the Riacho do Pontal Belt are interpreted as the result of post-convergence extension at 900-880 Ma (Caxito et al, 2016;Salgado et al, 2016), probably marking the first stages of an orogenic collapse phase, slightly similar to our younger obtained zircon age. In effect, Post-Cariris late Tonian and Cryogenian A-type granites, rift sequences and mafic-ultramafic intrusions of similar age are also found in the belts surrounding the northern São Francisco Craton margin, in the Rio Preto (Caxito et al, 2014c;Alcântara et al, 2017), Riacho do Pontal (Caxito et al, 2016;Salgado et al, 2016) and Sergipano (Oliveira et al, 2010) belts. In addition, zircon populations that range from 850 to 1000 Ma are present in several widespread Ediacaran metasedimentary and metavolcanosedimentary sequences throughout the province, such as the Araticum Complex of the Sergipano Fold Belt (Lima et al, 2019) and Cabrobró Complex of the Pernambuco-Alagoas Terrane (Cruz et al, 2014), also indicating inheritance of exhumed Stenian-Tonian crust.…”
