Litho-structural characterizations carried out on two transverse sections of the Neoproterozoic Ribeira Belt, in the north portion State of Rio de Janeiro and southern State of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil, show that it represents part of the transpressive dextral orogen related to the Central Mantiqueira Province. NNE-trending and steeply-dipping regional mylonitic belts describe a map-scale, S-C’-like structure that is characterized by their deflection towards NE near the Além Paraíba shear zone. This geometry is consistent with oblique continental collision considering the São Francisco Craton as a reference. In the Italva (RJ) – Muriaé (MG) section, the shear zones on its eastern part present predominant top to SW, parallel-to-the-orogen, transpressive movements and top-down-to-ESE tectonics on the central-western part of the section related to intermediary-dipping shear zones with frontal lineation. The main shear zones on the Marechal Floriano – Ibatiba (ES) section describe oblique movements with dextral component and top-to-SW tectonic flow, as described in the Guaçuí shear zone. At some outcrops, sinistral structures may reflect antithetic movements on these zones. Lithological and structural control related to deformation partitioning lead to the formation of milonites and felsic mylonitic granulites in ductile shear zones, alternated with less deformed intermediate to basic granulites with charnockitic lenses. Indeed, the anastomosed geometry and fan-like pattern of planar structures, as well as the complex relation with linear elements, may be a result of the transpressive shear. The garnet granulites on the northern region of Rio de Janeiro present chemical equilibrium from 700 to 780 °C and from 7.9 to 9.3 kbar which is higher than the intervals of 600-670 °C and 5,8-6,7 kbar obtained for aluminous gneisses on the eastern portion of the section. These differences on geothermobarometric results, mostly higher considering the nuclei of minerals in relation to its borders, the kinematic characteristics and microstructural pattern of samples suggest a more elevated exhumation rate for the granulites in this orogenic segment. Considering a transpressive regime related to oblique tectonic plates or blocks collision, this process can be explained by the ductile extrusion of infracrustal portions as shown by extensional shear zones described in this work. Because of our investigations, we think that the limit of Ribeira and Araçuaí belts on parallel 21° South, as considered by some authors, is arbitrary. The contrasts on kinematics on both studied sections point to longitudinal variations of deformation path that may reflect boundary condition changes, like the geometry of the craton and rheologic transitions of rocks caused by differential partial melting, that lead to extrusion tectonics with partial preservation of granulitic parageneses on the investigated segment.
