Lithospheric 3D gravity modelling using upper-mantle density constraints: Towards a characterization of the crustal configuration in the North Patagonian Massif area, Argentina [PDF]
The North Patagonian Massif is an Argentinean plateau that has an average height of 1200 m and stands from 500 to 700 m above the neighboring areas. During Paleogene, it suffered a sudden uplift of more than 1200 m without noticeable internal deformation;

Geomechanical properties of the Vaca Muerta Formation [PDF]
Unconventional oil and gas resources have transformed the energy industry in the United States. Likewise, other countries have followed up with hydrocarbon exploitation from tight unconventional formations. One of the most developed unconventional fields

Acute toxicity of arsenic and oxidative stress responses in the embryonic development of the common South American toad Rhinella arenarum [PDF]
Arsenic (As), a natural element of ecological relevance, is found in natural water sources throughout Argentina in concentrations between 0.01mg/L and 15mg/L. The autochthonous toad Rhinella arenarum was selected to study the acute toxicity of As and the

A well-preserved vertebra provides new insights into rebbachisaurid sauropod caudal anatomical and pneumatic features [PDF]
Rebbachisauridae is a clade of sauropod dinosaurs whose maximum diversification and abundance are known from the Cretaceous of South America. We describe an anterior caudal vertebra, MDPA-Pv 007, from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentine Patagonia, whose ...

Forecasting climate change impacts on neotropical Myotis: Insights from ecological niche models for conservation strategies. [PDF]
This study examines the impact of climate change on Myotis bat species, particularly Myotis ruber and Myotis keaysi. It reveals that temperature changes significantly influence their distributions, with precipitation also playing a role for M. ruber. M. ruber shows greater adaptability to temperature fluctuations, expanding its suitable habitats, while

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Late Cretaceous uplift in the Malargüe fold-and-thrust belt (35°S), Southern Central Andes of Argentina and Chile [PDF]
The Cordillera de los Andes is the typical example of a subduction-related orogen. Its present topography is the result of post-Miocene uplift, however, Andean compressional deformation and uplift started in the Late Cretaceous, as increasingly ...
