Geology of Brazil
Neoproterozoic (1000 - 542 Ma)

The development of (super-) continent Gondwana took place during the Neoproterozoic through convergence, collision and fusion of fragments of Rodinia / Pannotia, the preceding supercontinents (see also Proterozoic).

The amalgation of West Gondwana (prototypes of South America and Africa united in one continent, prior to the opening of the South Atlantic) happened during the Brasiliano - Pan African orogenic cycle (850 - 500 Ma).
