The magnetometry is an important tool in geological mapping, especially in studies of basic rocks in the context of sedimentary basin. There are few geophysical works directly related to Sills, therefore, the purpose of this study is to characterize the geological subsurface structure of the Sill diabase in the Paraná Magmatic Province exposed beneath sandstones in the Itararé group, located near the city of Limeira, in the east-central region of São Paulo state. In this study, we present maps illustrating the results of ground magnetometry as well as corrections, stages processing, and interpretation of geophysical data. The magnetometric method served as an important tool in the characterization of physical properties of the contrast generated between the Sill diabase and the sandstone rocks (Itararé group). According to previous works, the bodies of the Sill diabase in Limeira should present a subsurface lateral continuity. However, the magnetometric method performed in this study allowed us to define that the area of the Limeira Sill comprises several independent diabase bodies, in the shape of Sills, which do not exhibit subsurface lateral continuity. The average radial power spectrum allowed determines the wave number cut-off value suitable for the components separation in shallow and deep sources. Spectral analysis showed that the structures with depths exceeding 100 m were related to the structure of the diabase bodies, with a Sill shape, present in the study area, where the depths are consistent with those described in previous studies. Petrographic and geochemical data determine that the Sill Limeira is characterized by coarse-grained diabase, basalt, whose composition varies from the traquiandesite
