These basins are located in the interior of Northeast Brazil aligned along the Trend-Cariri Potiguar. Their origin is related to the Early Cretaceous rifting event. In terms of lithostratigraphy, the studied section corresponds to the Antenor Navarro, Sousa and Rio Piranhas formations of the Rio do Peixe Basin, and the Miss?o Velha and Abaiara formations of the Araripe Basin, outcropping in the central-west Cariri Valley. A facies analysis was performed and identified nine distinct sedimentary facies for the Rio de Peixe Basin and ten sedimentary facies for the Araripe Basin, individualized according to the different rock types and their sedimentary structures. These facies associations to led paleoenvironments interpretations and their vertical succession allowed understanding the evolution of the depositional setting during the cronostratigraphic interval studied in these basins. Based on petrographic and diagenetic studies it was possible to characterize the texture and mineralogy of these sandstones, identifying their diagenetic stage and the grain framework provenance. The petrographic study allowed to classify the lithotypes studied in both basins as quartzarenites. Such quartzarenites, in general, are rich in quartz, feldspar and lithic fragment grains, and at accessory levels tourmaline, sphene, zircon, epidote and other mineralogy. The diagenetic history of the studied rocks proved to be very complex, being characterized by a variety mineral of phases that succeeded each other during the eo, meso and telodiagenetic stages. According to the studied formation and the textural and compositional aspects of the rocks, some processes were more or less active, while others were even absent. The eodiagenetic stage is marked by mechanical infiltration of clays and early mechanical compactional processes. The mesodiagenetic phase is characterized by continuity of the mechanical compaction and the beggining of chemical compaction, with quartz and feldspar overgrowths, precipitation of kaolinite, alteration of framework grains to chlorite and illite, and finally, precipitation of opaque minerals. The telodiagenetic stage is represented by the oxidation of some grains, matrix and cements. For the provenance analysis of the studied sandstones were used ternary diagrams whose vertices correspond to the percentage of quartz, feldspar and lithic fragments. This study allowed identifies the source area of these rocks as continental blocks. It was also possible, based on the chemical stability and mineralogical maturity of the rocks, recognize that the Antenor Navarro Formation of the Rio do Peixe Basin, and the upper section of the Miss?o Velha Formation of Araripe Basin have less maturity and stability when compared with the other studied formations / A presente disserta??o apresenta um estudo diagen?tico e de proveni?ncia dos arenitos que integram a Tectonossequ?ncia Rifte nas bacias do Rio do Peixe e do Araripe. Tais bacias comp?em o conjunto das Bacias Interiores do Nordeste brasileiro. As mesmas encontram-se alinhadas segundo o Trend Cariri-Potiguar, estando geneticamente relacionadas ao rifteamento eocret?ceo. Litoestratigraficamente, o intervalo estudado corresponde ?s forma??es Antenor Navarro, Sousa e Rio Piranhas, na Bacia do Rio do Peixe, e ?s forma??es Miss?o Velha e Abaiara, na Bacia do Araripe, estas ?ltimas aflorantes na por??o centro-oeste do Vale do Cariri. Visando subsidiar os estudos de diag?nese e proveni?ncia foi realizada uma an?lise f?ciol?gica que permitiu identificar nove f?cies sedimentares distintas para a Bacia do Rio do Peixe e dez para a Bacia do Araripe, individualizadas consoantes os diferentes tipos litol?gicos e principais estruturas sedimentares presentes. As associa??es destas f?cies possibilitaram tecer interpreta??es acerca dos paleoambientes nos quais as mesmas est?o inseridas, e suas sucess?es verticais permitiram compreender a evolu??o do cen?rio deposicional durante o intervalo cronoestratigr?fico estudado nestas bacias. Com base nas an?lises petrogr?fica e diagen?tica, foi poss?vel caracterizar textural e mineralogicamente os arenitos estudados, identificar as fases diagen?ticas, bem como tecer interpreta??es sobre a proveni?ncia dos gr?os do arcabou?o. O estudo petrogr?fico permitiu classificar os lit?tipos estudados, em ambas as bacias, principalmente como quartzarenitos. Tais quartzarenitos, de maneira geral, apresentam arcabou?o rico em gr?os de quartzo, feldspatos e fragmentos l?ticos e, em menor percentagem, minerais resistatos (turmalina, esfeno, zirc?o, ep?doto). A hist?ria diagen?tica das rochas estudadas mostrou-se bastante complexa, sendo caracterizada por uma grande variedade de fases que se sucederam durante os est?gios de eo, meso e telodiag?nese. De acordo com a forma??o estudada e as particularidades texturais e composicionais intr?nsecas ?s f?cies destas unidades, alguns processos se mostraram mais ou menos atuantes, outros at? mesmo ausentes. De forma geral o est?gio eodiagen?tico ? marcado pela infiltra??o mec?nica de argilas e in?cio dos processos de compacta??o mec?nica; O est?gio mesodiagen?tico ? caracterizado pela continuidade da compacta??o mec?nica e in?cio dos eventos de compacta??o qu?mica, crescimentos secund?rios de quartzo e de feldspatos, gera??o de caulinita autig?nica, altera??o dos gr?os do arcabou?o para clorita e ilita e, por fim, a precipita??o de minerais opacos. O est?gio telodiagen?tico, por sua vez, ? representado pela oxida??o de alguns dos gr?os, matriz e cimentos presentes. A an?lise de proveni?ncia dos arenitos estudados, utilizando-se diagramas tern?rios, cujos v?rtices correspondem aos percentuais de quartzo, feldspatos e fragmentos l?ticos, permitiu identificar que a ?rea-fonte dessas rochas ? representada por blocos continentais. Foi poss?vel tamb?m, reconhecer que os arenitos da Forma??o Antenor Navarro, da Bacia do Rio do Peixe, e a se??o superior da Forma??o Miss?o Velha, da Bacia do Araripe apresentam maior maturidade mineral?gica e estabilidade qu?mica, ao passo que, as demais forma??es cont?m rochas que, comparativamente, apresentam mais maturidade mineral?gica e estabilidade qu?mica. Tais informa??es permitiram associar as forma??es estudadas em cada uma das bacias, a fases espec?ficas de evolu??o do Est?gio Rifte

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
