The Proterozoic record of the Fazenda Funil, near Cabeceiras, GO, includes three sedimentary units: carbonate at the top of Paranoá Group, diamictite of the Jequitaí Formation, and a succession of shale, marl-shale rhythmites, and carbonate of the Sete Lagoas Formation. Microfossiliferous chert occurs in these three units in the form of lenses in the Paranoá Group, clasts within the diamictites of the Jequitaí Formation and as a persistent, 600 meter-long layer in the Sete Lagoas Formation. The similarity of the chert from these three units brings up crucial questions as to the stratigraphy of the Fazenda Funil and the origin of the clasts in the Jequitaí Formation : are they, in fact, of sedimentary (glacial) or tectonic origin? Comparisons among the three units were made of chert fabrics, inorganic aspects (minerals, sedimentary and diagenetic structures), and organic content (microfossils and general characteristics of the organic matter). The analysis of several samples revealed great similarity between the fabrics and microfossils in the three units. Five fabrics and 12 microfossil taxons were identified, two taxons for the first time in the region. These observations led to the conclusion that the chert layer presently attributed to the Sete Lagoas Formation was the source of the chert clasts in the Jequitaí Formation and represents is a slice of the Paranoá Group introduced tectonically within the Bambuí Group during Brasiliano deformation. This layer was eroded and the diamictite deposited presumably during the Sturtian glaciation, even though other evidence of glaciation were not observed on Fazenda Funil. This research, besides clarifying stratigraphic relationships on Fazenda Funil, also demonstrates that Precambrian microfossils can be a very useful tool in research on Proterozoic basins. Key-words: Proterozoic – Paranoá Group – Jequitaí Formation – Sete Lagoas Formation – microfossils – fabrics
