Abstract The timing, stratigraphic development, and mechanisms of late Paleogene loess deposition remain poorly understood, yet they are critical to understanding how tectonics, fluvial reworking, and eolian transport interacted during a key interval of western North American landscape evolution.

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±

Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Range‐Parallel Extension of the Andes in the 2020 Mw 5.7 Humahuaca Earthquake
Abstract Normal‐faulting earthquakes in mountain ranges provide important constraints on the dynamics of mountain building. To date, well‐documented examples of range‐parallel extension come primarily from the Tibetan Plateau, limiting our ability to test different models for its cause.

Abstract Taphonomic studies of Cenozoic mammals are scarce. We report a study of the taphonomy of the Corralito site (Middle Pleistocene to Holocene), Córdoba Province, Argentina, which documents the last population of the South American native ungulate typotherid Mesotherium cristatum. We discovered two specimens of M.

. The Bebedero tectonic depression in San Luis province, Argentina, is a closed drainage basin that has formed as a result of block‐faulting and rifting processes. The Bebedero lake exhibits notable similarities to the endorheic watersheds of the western United States, particularly those of Death Valley, the Saline Valley and, to a lesser extent, the ...
