abstract = "The Juqueriquer{\^e} River channel was formed in a Precambrian
crystalline basement. The lithological association is largely
composed of ancient metamorphic and igneous rocks, with several
overlapping tectonic episodes. Field surveys along the upper and
middle course allowed for cataloguing a wide variety of fluvial
erosion features. A sizable amount of morphological features have
been sculpted on different types of rocks, including furrows,
potholes, percussion marks, polishing and smoothing boulders as
the most representative. The sizes and shapes of these scour marks
are also diverse, and their study has provided important results
for better understanding the erosive processes. Given their wide
variety, the erosive morphological features offer an excellent
opportunity to explore the mechanisms of fluvial erosion and
evaluate their effective capacity to remove cobbles and boulders
in bedrock river systems.",
