Integration of existing isotopic and geological data allows a reconsideration of the distribution and age of the Río de la Plata Craton within South America. The reinterpretation increases the area of the craton to about ...

Old South American structures constitute a puzzle where the Río de la Plata Craton is the most important clue in the assembly of SW Gondwana. The present study is aimed at characterizing the western border of the Río de ...

The first successful paleomagnetic study on middle Paleoproterozoic rocks from the Rio de la Plata craton is reported. Samples collected from the Soca and Isla Mala granitic bodies, located in southern Uruguay, provided ...

Small to medium-sized intrusive bodies with ages between 2.1 and 2.0 Ga characterize Piedra Alta terrane and represent the final stabilization of Río de la Plata Craton. A reconnaissance study of petro- and magnetic fabrics ...

The Río de la Plata Craton (RPC) comprises part of southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and the central-eastern sector of Argentina. To the north, the RPC is bounded by the southern Amazonian craton, whereas to the east it ...

Major uncertainties remain on the precise kinematic and temporal aspects of Gondwana assembly. In order to provide new constraints on them, a paleomagnetic study was carried out on the Ediacaran succession of red claystones ...
