Abstract

The method of Sequence Stratigraphy, including third-order sequence analysis, was developed originally for use in passive margin sedimentary basins. The method proved its utility for both academically and practical applications, to such an extent that it inevitably was applied to other types of sedimentary basins, as, for example, in Paleozoic intracratonic basins, under normal sedimentary circumstances, as well as for glaciated situations. It is here shown that the method of Sequence Stratigraphy can and has been applied also to sedimentary basins in other types of tectonic settings of very different ages. The following cases are here considered: intracontinental rift basin evolving into a passive marginal platform (Caraça Group); foreland basin (Bambuí Group); extensional basin (Castro Group); intracratonic basin (Paraná Basin) and glaciated intracratonic basin (Paraná Basin/Itararé Subgroup).
