Abstract
With its several orogenic belts spanning the entire Proterozoic, the Brazilian Shield is one of the best places to study late Precambrian tectonic regimes and the role of accretion versus reworking in crustal growth. In this review, the authors draw on a huge volume of data, many as yet unpublished, to show that some 45% of the present continental crust in the Shield was formed at the end of the Archean and about 80% by the end of the Early Proterozoic. -Journal summary
