The distribution of the Quaternary deformation in the outer retro-wedge of the Andes (31°30′–35°S) is controlled by the subduction geometry, the position of the structural front, and the location of oblique pre-Cenozoic ...

The pre-Carboniferous evolution of the San Rafael Block is described in different stages. The first one is referred to the Mesoproterozoic basement derived from a complex plutonic and volcanic protolith of Cerro La Ventana ...

We integrated new and existing geological, geochronological, thermochronological, and two-dimensional (2D) seismic data from the Salar de Punta Negra Basin to define the Late Paleozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the ...

The San Rafael Block as part of the Cuyania terrane, lies eastwards of the present-day Andean Cordillera in Mendoza province and it develops south of the Nazca flat-slab subduction zone. It is a geographical region constituted ...

Changes in the sedimentologic and stratigraphic characteristics of the coal-bearing middle Oligocene-late Miocene siliciclastic Amagá Formation, northwestern Colombia, reflect major fluctuations in the stratigraphic base ...

We present the first complete balanced cross-section of the Argentinean Andes at 35ºS. Based on an extensive field survey and limited sub-surface information, we constructed a structural model in which both the tectonic ...

The extra-Andean Pampean plain of central Argentina shows a complex evolution history. Three basins were identified in the subsurface (Salado, Macachín and Laboulaye) generated during the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean ...

The Coastal Cordillera represents the first stage of the Andean orogeny that started nearly 200 Ma ago with subduction reactivation after an anorogenic period. However, recent studies have questioned the tectonic regime ...
