Poster summary

In the Paleozoic, during the supercontinent Pangea, the regions furthest from the active margins experienced extensive periods of tectonic stability and large syneclyses have been formed in south Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In Brazil, volcanic ash and volcanic glass fragments were found in several formations of the Paraná Basin, such as the Rio Bonito, Irati, Rio do Rasto, and Estrada Nova/Teresina. We present new Hf isotope compositions of zircons previously dated by SHRIMP U-Pb ages (Rocha Campos et al. 2011, 2019) with an interest in deepening the previous suggestions that the volcanic ash-fall layers and vitroclastic-carrying sediments from the Paraná Basin and the Choiyoi Formation volcanic rocks would have a common origin, in addition to their Permian ages.
