The Borborema Province (NE Brazil) is characterized by the development of continental-scale transcurrent shear zones related to the Neoproterozoic Brasiliano-Pan-African Orogeny. These shear zones commonly border Cretaceous intraplate sedimentary basins. This work presents a structural and microstru...
