A. fuck & ingrid M. nedel new systematic nd isotope and U-pb geochronology data were applied to precambrian rocks of northeastern Brazil to produce a crustal-age distribution map for a small basement inlier (1,500 km 2). The results support episodic crustal growth with five short periods of crustal formation at ca. 2.9 Ga,
