Resumo

Significant geological investigation has focused on the Pampean, Paraguay and Araguaia belts after a recent hypothesis suggested that they form the suture of the Clymene Ocean and the final amalgamation of the supercontinent Gondwana. This proposed ocean is located between the Amazon craton and the various craton blocks forming Gondwana (Congo-São Francisco, Goias , Rio Apa, Paranapanema, Rio de la Plata). Here we present initial field geology and geochronological results from several campaigns to the Araguaia Belt.
