The Maastrichtian-Danian Yacoraite Formation, Salta Group, Eastern Cordillera, Argentina: influence of paleorelief on the sedimentological composition
The influence of paleorelief as an indicator of the source area is analyzed here for the Yacoraite Formation of the Balbuena Subgroup (Salta Group). Provenance analysis based on detrital zircon was performed on four samples from the Yacoraite Formation in the Maimará and Juella sections. This analysis was combined with Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) techniques and U-Pb chronology previously obtained for all units underlying the Yacoraite Formation in the Tres Cruces subbasin.
For the Yacoraite samples from the Maimará section, the main sources of detrital zircons correspond to the basement units (Mesón Group and Puncoviscana Complex). At the top of the Yacoraite Formation, Ordovician zircons from the Santa Victoria Group were identified. In the Juella section, a sample from the undifferentiated Pirgua Subgroup contained Triassic and Carboniferous zircons that may be derived from Permian-Triassic plutons in the Puna region of Salta Province. Other zircons from this sample, of Ordovician, Cambrian, and Neoproterozoic age, are related to the basement of the area (Santa Victoria and Mesón groups, and the Puncoviscana Complex).
MDS analysis indicates that the closest similarity is between the U-Pb age distributions of the Pirgua Subgroup and the Jurassic Tacurú Group. The sample from the base of the Yacoraite Formation in the Juella section contains zircons (90 %) from the basement. Additionally, Devonian zircons may originate from Devonian magmatism in southern Peru.
MDS suggests similarity between the U-Pb age distributions of samples from the Lower Yacoraite Formation and the underlying units, indicating that the Pirgua Subgroup, the Mesón and Santa Victoria groups, and the Puncoviscana Complex are potential sources for the lower Yacoraite Formation.
In conclusion, the paleorelief of the hinterland has been a key control on the composition of the Yacoraite Formation. Detrital zircon populations for this formation can be successfully related to locally exposed sources.
期刊介绍:
Papers must have a regional appeal and should present work of more than local significance. Research papers dealing with the regional geology of South American cratons and mobile belts, within the following research fields:
-Economic geology, metallogenesis and hydrocarbon genesis and reservoirs.
-Geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, igneous and metamorphic petrology.
-Tectonics, neo- and seismotectonics and geodynamic modeling.
-Geomorphology, geological hazards, environmental geology, climate change in America and Antarctica, and soil research.
-Stratigraphy, sedimentology, structure and basin evolution.
-Paleontology, paleoecology, paleoclimatology and Quaternary geology.
New developments in already established regional projects and new initiatives dealing with the geology of the continent will be summarized and presented on a regular basis. Short notes, discussions, book reviews and conference and workshop reports will also be included when relevant.
