The Três Marias salient of the Ediacaran Brasília foreland fold-thrust belt.
The thin-skinned Três Marias salient is dominated by upright chevron folds.
It involves mostly Ediacaran ductile strata and is coupled to a weak detachment.
The Três Marias salient corresponds to a basin-controlled fold-thrust belt curve.
Hydrocarbon occurrences are likely associated with the development of the salient.
