“…The RPB lithostratigraphy and faulting have been well described by Sénant and Popoff (1991) and Françolin et al (1994). The whole RPB is composed of three subbasins -Brejo das Freiras, Sousa, and Pombal -separated by basement highs of three distinct structural domains (Fig.…”

“…Faz parte do trend Cariri-Potiguar (Matos 1992), o qual abrange bacias de pequeno a médio porte, desde a Bacia Potiguar (BPT) até a Bacia do Araripe (BAP), inseridas na Província Borborema. A estrutura destas bacias rifte é caracterizada por grabens e altos internos originados em consequência do estiramento crustal que antecedeu à fragmentação do continente Gondwana nas placas africana e sulamericana, durante o Eocretáceo (Françolin & Szatmari 1987, Sénant & Popoff 1991, Ponte 1992, Françolin et al 1994, Matos 1999. Na BRP, estratos cretáceos preenchem quatro semigrabens assimétricos, denominados Icozinho (SgI), Brejo das FreirasTriunfo (SgBF-T), Sousa (SgS) e Pombal (SgP), separados por blocos aflorantes de granitóides brasilianos intrudidos em rochas metamórficas paleoproterozoicas (Medeiros et al 2005).…”

“…From 130 to 120 Ma, rifting propagated northward to the Benue area, and across Africa to the Tethys realm Maurin, 1991, 1992). Syn-rift sedimentation started in intracontinental basins since the Berriasian in the Potiguar basin (Araripe and Feijó , 1994) and probably along the Patos lineament in the Araripe (Baudin and Berthou, 1996) and Rio do Peixe basins (Senant and Popoff, 1991;Françolin et al, 1994). During Early Barremian sedimentation started in the Benue Trough (Brunet et al, 1988), the Ghanaian Keta basin (Doyle et al, 1982) and Foz do Amazonas (Brandão and Feijó , 1994).…”
