“…All of these units belong to the Cryogenian Macaúbas Group (Pedrosa-Soares et al, 2011;Babinski et al, 2012;Fraga, 2013). Fraga et al (2014) It is widely believed that the glaciogenic Serra do Catuni Formation in the Araçuaí fold belt correlates with the Jequitaí Formation on the craton (Karfunkel and Hoppe, 1988;Uhlein et al, 1998Uhlein et al, , 1999Martins-Neto et al, 2001). Thus, we propose a similar correlation between the pre-glacial Tijucuçu sequence and the Carrancas Formation, in which the continental extension on the southern São Francisco crust may be a minor expression of the rifting at the eastern margin, and suggest that both of these units capture the Keele Peak, and hence represent the Cryogenian interglacial interval.…”
