“…One sample from the Los Túneles Phyllites (TLT-2069) has been analysed for U-Pb SHRIMP zircon chronology and 18 O and Hf isotope measurements on dated zircon grains (analytical methods as in Rapela et al, 2016) (Lyons et al, 1997;Rapela et al, 1998;Stuart-Smith et al, 1999;Leal et al, 2003;Hauser et al, 2011;Escayola et al, 2007Escayola et al, , 2011Tibaldi et al, 2008;Aparicio Gonzalez et al, 2011;Hong et al, 2010;Siegesmund et al, 2010;Iannizzotto et al, 2013;von Gosen et al, 2014;Dahlquist et al, 2016) (Table 3). The metaluminous Sierra Norte-Ambargasta batholith was emplaced within a very short period of time: the main intrusive pulse took place between 537 ± 4 and 528 ± 2 Ma (based on 11 results) with most ages in the range 530 ± 4 Ma (Rapela et al, 1998;Leal et al, 2003;Iannizzotto et al, 2013;von Gosen et al, 2014; Table 3) and thus constitutes a magmatic flare-up.…”
