Based on outcrop, seismic and remote sensing data, a new model of the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the section that covers the stages Dom Jo?o, Rio da Serra and Aratu (Brejo Santo, Miss?o Velha and Abaiara formations) is presented in this paper. In the stratigraphic section studied, ten sedimentary facies genetically linked to nine architectural elements were described, representing depositional systems associated with fluvial, aeolian and deltaic environments. Based on the relationship between the rates of creation of accommodation space and sediment influx (A / S) it was possible to associate these depositional systems with High and Low accommodation system tracks. These system tracks represent two tectono-sequences, separated by regional unconformities. The Tectono-sequence I, which includes lithotypes from the Brejo Santo Formation and is related to the pre-rift stage, is bounded at the base by the Paleozoic unconformity. This unit represents only a High Accommodation System Track, composed by a succession of pelitic levels interbedded with sandstones and limestones, from a large fluvial floodplain origin, developed under arid climatic conditions. The Tectono-sequence II, separated from the underlying unit by an erosional unconformity, is related to the rift stage, and is composed by the Miss?o Velha and Abaiara Formation lithotypes. Changes in depositional style that reflect variations in the A / S ratio, and the presence of hydroplastic deformation bands, make it possible to divide this tectonosequence into two internal sequences. Sequence IIA, which includes the lower portion of the Miss?o Velha Formation and sequence IIB, is composed by the upper section of the Miss?o Velha and Abaiara Formations The Sequence IIA below, composed only by the Low Accommodation System Track, includes crossbedding sandstones interbedded with massive mudstones, which are interpreted as deposits of sandy gravel beds wandering rivers. Sequence IIB, above, is more complex, showing a basal Low Accommodation System Track and a High Accommodation System Track at the top, separated by an expansion surface. The lower System Track, related to the upper portion of the Miss?o Velha Formation, is composed by a series of amalgamated channels, separated by erosion surfaces, interpreted as deposits of a belt of braided channels. The High Accommodation System Track, correlated with the Abaiara Unit, is marked by a significant increase in the A / S, resulting in the progradation of a system of braided river deltas with aeolic influence. Regarding tectonic evolution, the stratigraphic study indicates that the Tectonosequence Rift in the Araripe basin was developed in two phases: first characterized by a beginning of rifting, related to Sequence IIA, followed by a phase of syndepositional deformation, represented by sequence IIB. The first phase was not influenced by the development of large faults, but was influenced by a sharp and continuous decrease of accommodation space that permitted a change in depositional patterns, establishing a new depositional architecture. In turn, the stage of syndepositional deformation allowed for the generation of enough accommodation space for the preservation of fluvial-lacustrine deposits and conditioned the progradation of a braided river-dominated delta system. / Uma complexa hist?ria deposicional, relacionada ao rifteamento do Atl?ntico, caracteriza a evolu??o geol?gica durante o final do Jur?ssico e o in?cio do Neocomiano na Bacia do Araripe, NE do Brasil. Com base na integra??o de dados de afloramentos, se??es s?smicas e sensores remotos, apresenta-se neste trabalho, um novo modelo de evolu??o tectono-estratigr?fica para a se??o que compreende os andares Dom Jo?o, Rio da Serra e Aratu (forma??es Brejo Santo, Miss?o Velha e Abaiara). Na se??o estudada foram descritas dez f?cies sedimentares que associadas geneticamente constituem nove elementos arquiteturais, que integram sistemas deposicionais de origem fluvial, e?lica e deltaica. Com base na rela??o entre as taxas de acomoda??o e aporte sedimentar (rela??o A/S) foi poss?vel associar estes sistemas deposicionais aos tratos de sistemas de Alta e Baixa Acomoda??o. Estes tratos de sistemas integram duas tectonosseq??ncias, as quais est?o separadas por discord?ncias regionais. A Tectonosseq??ncia I ? composta pelos lit?tipos da Forma??o Brejo Santo e se relaciona ao Est?gio Pr?-Rifte, sendo limitada na base pela Discord?ncia Paleoz?ica. Tal unidade ? formada apenas pelo Trato de Sistemas de Alta Acomoda??o, caracterizado por uma sucess?o de n?veis pel?ticos intercalados a arenitos e calc?rios, originados a partir de uma ampla plan?cie fluvial distal, desenvolvida em condi??es de clima ?rido. A tectonosseq??ncia II, separada da seq??ncia sotoposta por uma discord?ncia erosiva, relaciona-se ao Est?gio Rifte, sendo composta pelos lit?tipos das forma??es Miss?o Velha e Abaiara. Mudan?as no estilo deposicional que refletem varia??es na rela??o A/S, al?m da presen?a de bandas de deforma??o hidropl?sticas, permitiram compartimentar tal tectonosseq??ncia em duas seq??ncias internas. Seq??ncia IIA, associada ? por??o inferior da Forma??o Miss?o Velha, e Seq??ncia IIB, formada pela se??o superior da Forma??o Miss?o Velha e pela Forma??o Abaiara. A Seq??ncia IIA, caracterizada somente pelo Trato de Sistemas de Baixa Acomoda??o, ? composta por arenitos com estratifica??es cruzadas intercalados a pelitos interpretados como dep?sitos de um sistema fluvial meandrante grosso. A Seq??ncia IIB, acima, ? mais complexa, sendo formada pelos tratos de sistemas de Baixa Acomoda??o, basal, e de Alta Acomoda??o, superior, separados por uma superf?cie de expans?o. O trato de sistemas basal, relacionado ? por??o superior da Forma??o Miss?o Velha, ? composto por uma s?rie de canais amalgamados, separados por superf?cies de eros?o, interpretados como dep?sitos de um cintur?o de canais entrela?ados. O Trato de Sistemas de Alta Acomoda??o, correlacionado ? Forma??o Abaiara, ? marcado por um aumento significativo na rela??o A/S, que propiciou a prograda??o de um sistema de deltas de rios entrela?ados, com influ?ncia e?lica. No que tange ? evolu??o tect?nica, o estudo estratigr?fico aqui efetuado trouxe ? tona que a Tectonosseq??ncia Rifte na Bacia do Araripe desenvolveu-se segundo duas fases distintas: uma fase de in?cio do rifte, relacionada ? Seq??ncia IIA, seguida de uma fase de deforma??o sindeposicional, representada pela Seq??ncia IIB. A primeira fase n?o foi condicionada pelo desenvolvimento de grandes falhamentos e, sim, por uma diminui??o abrupta e cont?nua do espa?o de acomoda??o que propiciou uma mudan?a nos padr?es deposicionais estabelecendo assim uma nova arquitetura deposicional. Por sua vez, a fase de deforma??o sindeposicional, subseq?ente, tornou poss?vel a gera??o de espa?o de acomoda??o suficiente para a preserva??o de dep?sitos fl?vio-lacustres depositados anteriormente e condicionou a prograda??o um sistema de deltas de rios entrela?ados
