New paleomagnetic data from Upper Oligocene–Lower Miocene rocks of the Northern Argentine Puna–Southern Bolivian Altiplano: Constraining the age of vertical axis rotations
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Along the Central Andes a pattern of vertical axis rotations has been paleomagnetically identified. Such rotations are counterclockwise north of Arica Deflection (∼19° S) and clockwise to the south. Different hypothesis ...
