Abstract

The reactivation of faults in the basement can control the formation of deformation structures in sedimentary basins. The reactivation of strike-slip faults causes en echelon folds in the sedimentary cover. The hinges of en echelon folds are oblique to the shear plane, and their orientation indicates the sense of slip in the reactivated fault. On the eastern edge of the Paraná Basin, in Santa Catarina, there are en echelon folds in sandstones of the Itararé Group. In this paper, the structural characteristics of these folds are presented. They are metric to decametric, symmetrical, gentle to open, with high-angle helical axial surfaces, and approximately horizontal hinges. The origin of these folds is related to the reactivation of the Itajaí-Perimbó Shear Zone in the basement of the Paraná Basin. The displacement of the shear zone on reactivation was left lateral.
