Abstract

This chapter presents a revision of concepts and hypotheses previously presented about the evolution of the Camaquã Basin, central portion of the Rio Grande do Sul State (Southernmost Brazil). This review was based on a large number of new pieces of evidence, data and studies performed since earlier publication, including a large number of radiometric, high-quality geochronological data. The Camaquã Basin is still seen as the result of the superimposition between 630 and 510 Ma of a series of independent, but successive basins in the same locus. These basins represent the final stages of the Brasiliano Orogeny in the Rio Grande do Sul State and encompass an evolution from tardi- (Maricá Retroarc Foreland Basin and Western and Eastern Bom Jardim Strike-Slip basins) to post-orogenic (Western and Eastern Santa Bárbara rifts and Guaritas Rifte) settings. Any tectono-sedimentary cycle (except the basal one) comprise an early volcanism that has evolved throughout the evolution of the entire Camaquã Basin from tholeiitic and calci-alkaline, high-K to shoshonitic (Bom Jardim Event), through bimodal, alkaline (Acampamento Velho Event) to mantle derived, basic magmas derived from the base of the just formed continental crust (Rodeio Velho Event). The sedimentary successions that intercalate and cover the volcanic rocks has evolved from dominantly marine strata at the base (Maricá Allogroup) through deep- (Bom Jardim Allogroup) to shallow- (Santa Bárbara Allogroup) lacustrine facies associated with fan-deltas and axial braid-plain deltas,  to shallow-lacustrine, deltaic and eolian deposits (Guaritas Allogroup).
