“…This event was triggered by the arrival and docking of the Laurentian‐derived Precordillera/Cuyania block to the western margin of Gondwana and marked by regional unconformities formed during the inversion of the basins (Astini & Dávila, 2004; Bahlburg & Hervé, 1997a; Davila et al, 2003; Ramos, 2008; Thomas & Astini, 2003). This phase was characterized by folding and development of several wide thrusts at midcrustal levels (Cristofolini et al, 2014; Finch et al, 2015; Larrovere et al, 2016, 2011; Rapela, Pankhurst, Casquet, et al, 1998; Semenov et al, 2019; Semenov & Weinberg, 2017). The Famatinian orogenic cycle is inferred to have finished at around 440–435 Ma when magmatism waned (2009; Bahlburg et al, 2016; Büttner et al, 2005; Mulcahy et al, 2014; Wolfram et al, 2017).…”
