Abstract
The continental
lithosphere of southwestern Gondwana, comprising the southern part of South
America and southern Africa, was largely assembled before the end of the
Proterozoic. Geologic studies indicate that the basement  anisotropy that
controlled the development of Phanerozoic basins was established by Neoproterozoic-Early
Cambrian tectonism. This tectonism reactivated the older terrane boundaries
or cut across them. The backbone linking the system of Pan-African and
Brasiliano basins was a system of northeast-trending structures. There
were four areas of pronounced Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian basin subsidence
in the study area: the Chiquitanas trough in Bolivia, the Puncoviscana
basin in Argentina, the Dom Feliciano-Ribeira basins in Brazil, and the
Damara-Nama basin complex of southern Africa.
