“…The most plausible Paleoproterozoic zircons must be related to granitic to tonalitic gneiss, migmatite, and amphibolite rocks from the Buenos Aires Complex having well-defined Rhyacian ages between ~2.2 and ~2.1 Ga (Oyhantçabal et al 2011). Rhyacian/Orosirian granitic and tonalitic intrusions with ages between ~2.05 and ~2.04 Ga could also have contributed as proximal sources (Cingolani et al 2002, Oyhantçabal et al 2011, Angeletti et al 2023, as well as the La Tuna granite (Pamoukaghlian et al 2017). Alternatively, the Rhyacian/ Orosirian Piedra Alta Terrane (~2.2 to ~2.05 Ga) and Siderian/ Statherian Nico Pérez Terrane (2.4-1.7 Ga) in Uruguay and more distant source areas for Proterozoic DZs could be considered (Hartmann et al 2000, Santos et al 2003, Peel and Preciozzi 2006, Mallmann et al 2007, Oyhantçabal et al 2011.…”

The final consolidation of southwestern Gondwana during the Ediacaran-Cambrian resulted in the formation of a large landmass originally surrounded by the newborn Panthalassic Ocean. The Río de la Plata Craton is one of the last pieces that complete the geotectonic puzzle along the austral part of this supercontinent. However, the sedimentary record corresponding to the interval between the consolidation of SW Gondwana until the initial deposition in a large Ordovician cratonic basin is apparently missing. In this context, the Ediacaran-Cambrian epiclastic shallow-marine ramp of the Cerro Negro Formation, the uppermost unit of La Providencia Group, Tandilia System, is envisaged as the first known stratigraphic record of the hidden pericratonic basins of Gondwana. Geochronological and provenance data, coupled with robust stratigraphic and sedimentologic background, support that this unit keeps more tectono-sedimentary affinity with the Ordovician Balcarce Formation than the Neoproterozoic Sierras Bayas Group. The presence of similar Neoproterozoic source areas for both units, the absence of any metamorphism and deformation related to the Brasiliano cycle, and shallow marine deposition strongly suggest that the paleogeography and physiography of the original southernmost continental platform of Gondwana were similar to the Ordovician ones. Thus, the Cerro Negro Formation appears as the missing link between the ultimate stages of the Brasiliano Orogenic Cycle and the final stabilization of the continental platform from the SW part of Gondwana.
