Two Sides of the Same Desert: Floristic Connectivity and Isolation Along the Hyperarid Coast and Precordillera in Peru and Chile

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In this study we aim at refining our understanding of the floristic connectivity of the loma- and precordillera floras of southern Peru and northern Chile and the parameters determining vegetation cover in this region.

New contributions to the Ordovician biostratigraphy of the Western Precordillera, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
Upper Ordovician graptolites and conodonts are recorded from the Yerba Loca Formation in two sections, in the El Toro and Las Viudas creeks, from the El Tigre Range in the Western Precordillera of San Juan Province, Argentina. A collection of graptolites

Review of the Cambrian Stratigraphy of the Argentine Precordillera

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2003
The Cambrian rocks of the Argentine Precordillera are analyzed and updated providing a new stratigraphic interpretation. The lithostratigraphic assemblages provide evidence that the Precordilleran Cambrian Basin was a rimmed platform.

Early Gondwanan connection for the Argentine Precordillera terrane

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003
Abstract The Precordillera of Argentina is widely accepted as an exotic terrane of Laurentian (North American) affinity. Newly acquired U/Pb ages on individual detrital zircons from Lower Cambrian and Upper Ordovician quartz sandstone beds in the Argentine Precordillera indicate a Gondwanan provenance not associated with any known part of Laurentia ...

Structural and tectonic assessment of the western Huincul High, Neuquén Basin (Argentina)—The role of structural inheritance and mechanical stratigraphy in inversion systems

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 2140-2164, December 2023., 2023
3D visualisation of the Upper Triassic, syn‐extension, top unit 1 showing the key inversion anticlines in the western Huincul High (Neuquen Basin). Abstract The Neuquén Basin is a major Mesozoic sedimentary depocentre located in the retroarc foreland of the Argentinian Andes. The basin hosts world renowned inversion systems that have been the target of

Are Volatiles From Subducted Ridges on the Pampean Flat Slab Fracking the Crust? Evidence From an Enhanced Seismicity Catalog

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Seamounts and ridges are often invoked to explain subduction‐related phenomena such as flat slab generation, but the extent of their involvement remains controversial. An analysis of seismicity in the region of the Pampean flat slab through an application of an automated catalog generation algorithm resulted in 35,924 well constrained local ...
