(2017) suggest that the {A}ndean tectonics drove the middle to late {M}iocene paleoenvironmental changes of the {A}mazon basin from the {P}ebas mega-wetland to the more fluvial {A}cre phase.}, keywords = {{S}r-{N}d isotopes ; {H}eavy minerals ; {S}olimoes {F}ormation ; {A}ndes ; {A}mazonian ; retroarc foreland basins ; {BRESIL} ; {ANDES} ; {AMAZONIE} ; {SOLIMOES} {BASSIN} ; {ACRE} {BASSIN}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{J}ournal of {S}outh {A}merican {E}arth {S}ciences}, volume = {93}, numero = {}, pages = {232--241}, ISSN = {0895-9811}, year = {2019}, DOI = {10.1016/j.jsames.2019.05.004}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/{PAR}00019578}, }
