Estratigrafia y sedimentologia del abanico terminal de la Formacion Candeleros (Grupo Neuquen), Cretácico Inferior, Cuenca Neuquina, provincias de Neuquen y Mendoza, Argentina.

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The Candeleros Formation is represented by a succession of deposits that represent terminal fans starting to fill a foreland basin (back-arc) during the Albian. The different sub-environments of the terminal fan suggest low gradients during the onset of deposition of the Río Limay Subgroup (Neuquén Group). The terminal fan system is represented by distributary zone (TF-DZ), distributary zone-base zone (TF-DZBZ) and base zone deposits (TF-BZ). Its most notable feature is the presence of bitumen in "po… Show more

“…Interpretation: The green sandstones are interpreted as channel deposits related to alluvial fans. The red sandstones are interpreted as bar deposits in braided channels (Miall, 1996;Sánchez et al, 2005). The textural maturity indicates a reduced relief for the source area and enlargement of the catchment basin near the source area.…”

“…En esta unidad prevalecen procesos fluviales, los cuales fueron interpretados como un sistema fluvial de alta sinuosidad, en donde se desarrollaron horizontes Bw apilados en las planicies de inundación. Estas interpretaciones corroboran las previamente realizadas por otros autores para la misma unidad (Sánchez y Heredia, 2006;Sánchez et al, 2008aSánchez et al, , 2008bSánchez et al, , 2008c.…”
