Borborema Province covers approximately 380,000 [km.sup.2] and is marked by a mosaic of tectonic blocks: a Paleoproterozoic basement and scattered Archean nuclei, Meso to Neoproterozoic supracrustal rocks, and large intrusions of granites (Van Schmus et al., 2008; Silva, Ferreira, Lima, Sial, & Silva, 2015).
