Abstract
Structural inheritance is a major control on the Andean structural architecture and magma emplacement, particularly in Patagonia, where the genesis of sedimentary basins and magmatic arcs has been largely influenced by basement fabrics. Based on new geologic, structural, microstructural and geochronologic data, the aim of this contribution is to evaluate the influence of pre-existing mechanical anisotropies of the Paleozoic basement on the Jurassic-Neogene tectonic evolution in the Paso de las Nubes area (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina). U-Pb zircon data of an orthogneiss yielded an age of 166 ± 2 Ma, which is consistent with the Jurassic batholith reported in the North Patagonian Andes, being thus coeval with retrograde metamorphism and deformation in the metasedimentary wallrock. Fault kinematic data indicate a Jurassic transtensional regime, strongly controlled by basement reactivation. On the other hand, a second kinematic population records a mainly strike-slip solution, associated with partitioned Neogene transpression.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
