Analysis of balanced cross-sections and of the chronostratigraphy of the deformed foreland basin successions allows to solve the structural kinematics of the eastern Fuegian thrust-fold belt. Based on the Coulomb wedge ...

Numerical 2-D models based on the principle of minimum work were used to examine the space-time distribution of active faulting during the evolution of orogenic wedges. A series of models focused on thin-skinned thrusting ...

Orogeny in the Central Andes is the product of active subduction below the western margin of South America. The Cenozoic building of the Western Cordillera has been ascribed to magmatic addition and volcanism associated ...

The structure of the Temsamane fold-and-thrust stack corresponds to four units limited by anastomosing ductile shear zones cutting a trend of south verging recumbent folds. This ductile stack was formed in an inclined ...

The Iglesia basin hosts a key sedimentary archive of the evolution of the southern Central Andes. This basin is classically interpreted as recording the transition from an outer- to an inner-wedge-top (piggyback basin) ...

This work analyzes the geometry and geodynamic development of the offshore sector (between 62° W and 67° W) of the south Magallanes and Malvinas basins wedge-top and foredeep, and associated orogenic wedge. It is based on ...

We present field and seismic evidence for the existence of Coniacian–Campanian syntectonic angular unconformities within basal foreland basin sequences of the Austral or Magallanes Basin, with implications for the understanding ...

The Central Andes are the product of contractional deformation related to subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American continent. In this geodynamic setting, thrust belt propagation in the Central Andean ...
