“…The Coastal Batholith is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid suites developed during late Paleozoic time, mainly between late Carboniferous and Early Permian (e.g., Cordani et al, 1976;Hervé, 1976;Hervé et al, 1988;Parada et al, 1991;Martin et al, 1999a;Ramírez, 2010). Also present in the Coastal Cordillera are gabbros and fayalite-bearing granites of Triassic age and classified as an anorogenic Atype granitoid suite (Vásquez and Franz, 2008) and some late to middle Jurassic two-pyroxene diorites, gabbros and hornblende-biotite tonalites (Godoy and Loske, 1988;Parada et al, 1991;Hernández, 2006).…”
