The South American retroarc foreland system: The development of the Bauru Basin in the back-bulge province
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-05-01)
The aim of this research is to understand the tectonic setting of the Bauru Basin. This basin in central eastern South America has been classified as intracratonic, but the basin-fill geometry, the involved subsidence ...
Flexural isostasy in the Bolivian Andes: Chaco foreland basin development
(Elsevier Science, 2009-09)
The Chaco foreland basin was initiated during the late Oligocene as a result of thrusting in the Eastern Cordillera in response to Nazca-South America plate convergence. Foreland basins are the result of the flexural ...
Sedimentologic and stratigraphic evolution of the Cacheuta basin: Constraints on the development of the Miocene retroarc foreland basin, south-central Andes
(Geological Society of America, 2018-06)
Retroarc foreland basins in contractional arc settings contain evidence of temporal and spatial variations in magmatic activity, deformation, and exhumation along the continental margin and serve as excellent recorders of ...
Miocene fragmentation of the Central Andean foreland basins between 26 and 28°S
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-10)
We present new U-Pb LA-ICP-MS data from the Central Andean foreland basins combined with new and published stratigraphic information in order to reconstruct the Miocene fragmentation of the Andean foreland between 26 and ...
The Iglesia basin in the southern Central Andes: A record of backarc extension before wedge-top deposition in a foreland basin
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
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) ...
Upper Plate Controls on the Formation of Broken Foreland Basins in the Andean Retroarc Between 26°S and 28°S: From Cretaceous Rifting to Paleogene and Miocene Broken Foreland Basins
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-06)
Marked along-strike changes in stratigraphy, mountain belt morphology, basement exhumation, and deformation styles characterize the Andean retroarc; these changes have previously been related to spatiotemporal variations ...
Neogene erosion of the Andean Cordillera in the flat-slab segment as indicated by petrography and whole-rock geochemistry from the Manantiales Foreland Basin (32°–32°30′S)
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Miocene Manantiales Foreland Basin is defined as a thick succession of sedimentary rocks belonging to the Chinches Formation in the Frontal Cordillera between 32 degrees S and 32 degrees 30 degrees S, located over the ...
Recognizing drainage reorganization in the stratigraphic record of the Neogene foreland basin of the Central Andes
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Changes in drainage basin reorganization as preserved in the stratigraphic record have direct implications for the composition, organization, and scaling relationships of sedimentary systems. However, isolating the ...
Seismic interpretation and cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Pozuelos Basin, Andean plateau, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-01-24)
The Andean basin formation across the Altiplano-Puna plateau has been mostly associated with: (i) interconnected depozones within a simple eastward-migrating foreland, (ii) isolated depocenters in a broken foreland or (iii) ...
Neogene retroarc foreland basin evolution, sediment provenance, and magmatism in response to flat slab subduction, western Argentina
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-05)
Understanding the effects of flat slab subduction on mountain building, arc magmatism, and basin evolution is fundamental to convergent-margin tectonics, with implications for potential feedbacks among geodynamic, magmatic, ...
