Abstract

The Transatlantic megashear system (TATLmss) is a northeast-trending continental-scale transpression megazone which exhibits coeval Neoproterozoic structural and tectonic evolution. On the Brazilian platform it is 900 km wide and 3600 km long and extends northeastward into the African continent and southwestward into Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
