The Malargüe fold and thrust belt is developed in the Argentinian Andes between 34° and 37° S, through the tectonic inversion of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic depocenters of the Neuquén Basin, with an uplift hist...

The topographic growth of mountain ranges at convergent margins results from the complex interaction between the motion of lithospheric plates, crustal shortening, rock uplift and exhumation. Constraints on the timing an...

The Malta Horst is a NW–SE-trending, 30 km wide structural high situated on the southern Hyblean-Malta Plateau, which is an African continental indenter in collision with Eurasia. Sediments consist of a shallow marine ...

We provide a thorough review of the literature on peraluminous magmatism of Late Neoproterozoic and Early Palaeozoic (mostly Late Cambrian-Middle Ordovician) age cropping out in many places around the world (SW South Afr...

The sector of the Andes studied in this paper (33°30′-33°45′S) presents a key region to study the relationship between tectonic setting and deformation history in a transitional zone between flat (north of 33°S) a...

his study focused on the geochemical and isotopic features of thermal fluids discharged from five zones located in the high altitude Puna plateau (Jujuy Province between S 22°20′–23°20′ and W 66°–67°), i.e. G...

Marine sedimentary rocks of the lower Miocene Monte León Formation of southeastern Patagonia (Austral Basin), Argentina are important geological archives for better understanding regional tectonics, paleoenvironments, o...

The intraplate fault-block mountains and intermontane deposits of the Gastre Basin, which are recorded more than 550 km east of the Andean trench in central Patagonia, Argentina, are analysed. The Gastre Basin is one of ...

Evaluating the role of tectonics and climate as possible triggering mechanisms of landscape reconfigurations is essential for paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstructions. In this study an exceptional receptive c...

In the last years, a substantial change has occurred concerning previous concepts accepted for theJurassic tectonics in the area comprehended between the Patagonian and Central Andes. The previoushypothesis conceived a r...
