Refined exhumation history of the northern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina [PDF]

Tectonics, 2013
AbstractThe Sierra de Aconquija and Cumbres Calchaquíes in the thick‐skinned northern Sierras Pampeanas, NW Argentina present an ideal setting to investigate the tectonically and erosionally controlled exhumation and uplift history of mountain ranges using thermochronological methods. Although these ranges are located along strike of one another, their

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

Geochemistry, 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 ...

Transient Injection of Flow: How Torn and Bent Slabs Induce Unusual Mantle Circulation Patterns Near a Flat Slab

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Torn and bent slabs are usually associated with flat‐slab subduction where the descending plate develops a horizontal geometry beneath the overlying continent. How such slab dynamics modify the surrounding mantle flow and the overriding plate remains enigmatic.

Localization of Deformation in a Non‐Collisional Subduction Orogen: The Roles of Dip Geometry and Plate Strength on the Evolution of the Broken Andean Foreland, Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina

Tectonics, Volume 42, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The southern Central Andes (SCA, 27°–40°S) exhibit a complex deformation pattern that is influenced by multiple factors, including the present‐day dip angle of the subducting oceanic Nazca plate and the influence of inherited heterogeneities in the continental South American plate. This study employs a data‐driven geodynamic workflow to assess

Timing of the Transition From Sevier‐ to Laramide‐Style Tectonism in Southwestern Montana Based on the Provenance of the Frontier Formation, North American Cordillera

Tectonics, Volume 42, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation in southwestern Montana is coeval with the transition from Sevier‐ to Laramide‐style tectonism in the Idaho‐Montana sector of the North American Cordillera. To better constrain the timing of initial exhumation above the Laramide‐style Blacktail‐Snowcrest arch, we use biostratigraphic data, sandstone ...

Stepwise Widening of the Central Andes—The Role of the Lower Crust

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 12, 28 June 2023., 2023
Abstract The outward growth of many orogens occurs through pulsed migration of the strain front. During Cenozoic shortening of the central Andes, the strain front abruptly migrated ∼400 km eastward across the Altiplano, isolating the plateau interior from major deformation.

The Difunta Correa metasedimentary sequence (NW Argentina): relict of a Neoproterozoic platform? — elemental and Sr-Nd isotope evidence

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
The Sierra de Pie de Palo (Western Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina) in the Andean foreland is mainly formed by a Mesoproterozoic basement and an Ediacaran metasedimentary cover referred to as the Difunta Correa metasedimentary sequence.

Protracted Thermal Evolution of a Migmatitic Terrane as Revealed by Multiple Geochronometers From the Retro‐Arc of the Early Paleozoic Famatinian Orogen in NW Argentina

Tectonics, Volume 42, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract U‐Pb dates of zircon, monazite, and titanite combined with trace element composition, allows characterization of the thermal evolution of the migmatitic Agua del Sapo complex. This complex comprises Al‐rich and Ca‐rich metasedimentary rocks with a detrital zircon maximum depositional age of 550 Ma.

Tourmalinites from the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina

Ore Geology Reviews, 2004
Abstract In the eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Central Argentina, tourmalinites and coticules are found in close association with stratabound scheelite deposits in metamorphic terranes. In Sierra Grande (Agua de Ramon and Ambul districts) and Sierra de Altautina, tourmalinites are associated with stratabound scheelite deposits related to ...

Cenozoic Exhumation and Deformation of the Intermontane Pastos Chicos Basin in the Southern Central Andes: Implications for the Tectonic Evolution of the Andean Plateau (Puna) and the Eastern Cordillera Between 23° and 24°S, NW Argentina

Tectonics, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The Andean Plateau of north‐western Argentina (Puna) at a mean elevation of ca. 4.2 km constitutes the southern continuation of the Altiplano; it is a compressional basin‐and‐range province comprising fault‐bounded, high‐elevation mountain ranges and largely internally drained basins with often thick sedimentary and volcaniclastic fill ...
