Abstract

Sedimentary units of Camarinha Formation (Paraná State, Southern Brazil) are affected by the Lancinha Transcurrent Shear Zone, and show brittle and brittle-ductile features such as folds, fractures, tilted and truncated layers, cataclastic foliation, fracture cleavage, and stretched clasts. Analysis of these features revealed their compatibility with the Riedel Model and confirms the right-lateral movement of the Lancinha Fault. Low values of the X-axis plunge are typical of transcurrent zones
