Abstract
The Itaboraí Basin located in the city of Itaboraí and has been center of a lot attention due to the presence of continental carbonates deposition,in form of travertines. These rocks has been recognized as a possible analogues to the pre-salt reservoir rocks or at least, similar in it depositional processes. The Itaboraí travertines presents some diagenetic influence related to the presence of silica rich fluids, similar to the pre-salt carbonates. The present research scope is to produce a petrographic analysis regarding the silica-rich travertine facies, as well recognize the textures and structures.
