The Sm-Nd, although being considered as a new technique when applied to sedimentary rocks is an important parameter to the determination of potentials source rocks. The acquired informations with the Sm-Nd method and the integration with Rb-Sr data allowed to propose the reconstruction of the source areas concerning Santa Maria Formation. The results are fundamental to improve these methodologies when applied in sedimentary rocks.Read More
