The Borborema Province, in the NE of Brazil, is a rather complex piece in the Brazil-Africa puzzle as it represents the junction of the Dahomeyide/Pharusian, Central African, Araçuai and Brasilia fold belts located between the West-African/São Luis, Congo/São Francisco and Amazonas craton. The correlation between the Dahomeyides from W-Africa (Ghana, Benin, Togo, and Mali) and the Borborema Province involves the Médio Coreaú and Central Ceará domains. The inferred continuation of the main oceanic suture zone exposed in the Dahomeyides of W Africa is buried beneath the Phanerozoic Parnaíba Basin in Brazil (northwest of the Médio Coreaú domain) where some high density gravity anomalies may represent hidden remnants of an oceanic suture. In addition to this major suture a narrow, nearly continuous strip composed of mainly mafic pods containing relics of eclogite-facies assemblages associated with partially migmatized granulite-facies metapelitic gneisses has been found further east in the NW Borborema Province. These high pressure mafic rocks, interpreted as retrograded eclogites, are located between the Transbrasiliano Lineament and the Santa Quitéria continental arc and comprise primitive to evolved arc-related rocks with either arc- or MORB-type imprints that can indicate either deep subduction of oceanic lithosphere or roots of continental and oceanic magmatic arcs. Average peak P-T conditions under eclogite-facies metamorphism (T = 770 °C and P = 17.3 kbar) were estimated using garnet-clinopyroxene thermometry and Jd content in clinopyroxene. Transition to granulite-facies conditions, as well as later widespread re-equilibration under amphibolite facies, were registered both in the basic and the metapelitic rocks and suggest a clockwise P-T path characterized by an increase in temperature followed by strong decompression. A phenomenon possibly related to the exhumation of a highly thickened crust associated with the suturing of the Médio Coreaú and Central Ceará domains, two distinct crustal blocks separated by the Transbrasiliano Lineament. © 2009 International Association for Gondwana Research.153-4454470Abdelsalam, M.G., Liégeois, J.P., Stern, R.J., The Saharan Metacraton (2002) Journal of African Earth Sciences, 34, pp. 119-136Affaton, P., Le Bassin des Volta (Afrique de l'Ouest): Une marge passive, d'âge protérozoique supérieur, tectonisée au Panafricain (600 + 50 Ma) (1990) Editions de l'ORSTOM, Collection Etudes et Theses, , Paris, 500 ppAffaton, P., Rahaman, M.A., Trompette, R., Sougy, J., The Dahomeyide orogen: tectonothermal evolution and relationships with the Volta Basin (1991) The West African Orogens and Circum-Atlantic Correlatives, pp. 107-122. , Dallmeyer D., and Lécorché J.P.
