“…16 The eastern PRB varies in composition from gabbro to rare granite but are dominated by tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite or biotite tonalite. 15,[17][18][19][20][21] These rocks are lower in dark minerals and potash feldspar (low in K 2 0, FeO, and MgO, and high in Si0 2 and Al 2 0 3 ) than the rocks of the western part of the batholith. 22 Marine Palaeocene and early Eocene strata occur in many places along and south from the Western Cape territory of Baja California.…”

“…En su lugar se expone una secuencia de sedimentos clásticos continentales y localmente marinos del Triásico Tardío, conocidos como el Grupo Barranca, que se depositaron en cuencas tectónicas elongadas en dirección E-W (Stewart y Roldán-Quintana, 1991), formadas después de la deformación compresiva. Sin embargo, rocas paleozoicas de cuenca marina profunda afl oran de nuevo en el sur de Sonora y el norte de Sinaloa (Gastil et al, 1991;Dreier y Braun, 1995), aunque su relación geológica con las rocas expuestas al norte es incierta.…”

“…Mapa de la distribución hipotética de los distintos dominios de basamento en los que se emplazó el cinturón de pórfi dos de cobre el noroeste de México, mostrando la península de Baja California restituida a su posición pre-apertura del Golfo de California (de acuerdo con Gastil et al, 1991). mineral se asocia a cuerpos porfídicos de granodiorita y granito (Zürcher, 2002), y consiste en brechas mineralizadas con pirita, calcopirita y molibdenita, con una pequeña zona de enriquecimiento supergénico y reservas de aproximadamente 212 Mt con 0.43% de Cu y 0.022% de Mo (Pérez-Segura, 1985;Barton et al, 1995).…”

“…earlier at 100 Ma, and a bit farther west than the Laramide deformational front, the Santiago GEOSCIENCE CANADA Peak-Alisitos arc of the Peninsular Ranges batholith -built upon a varied basement, ranging in age from Proterozoic to Jurassic (Shaw et al 2014;Premo et al 2014;Kistler et al 2014), and torn from the western margin of the ribbon continent at about 140 Ma (Lawton and McMillan 1999;Mauel et al 2011;Peryam et al 2012) -collided with a west-facing Lower Cretaceous carbonate platform, known as the Guerrero-Morelos platform in the south and the Sonoran shelf in the north (LaPierre et al 1992;Monod et al 1994;González-Léon et al 2008). Because the basement within the arc terrane contained fragments of crust, such as the Antler platform and Caborca terrane (Ketner 1986;Gastil et al 1991;Stewart 2005;Hildebrand 2009Hildebrand , 2013Premo et al 2010), derived from the ribbon continent, and ultimately from the 'lost' SW corner of North America, possibly during the transition from Pangea B to A (Irving 1977;Kent and Muttoni 2003;Irving 2004), make arguments tying the Guerrero superterrane to North America prior to the Laramide non-definitive. Terranes derived from this part of Laurentia should contain large quantities of Grenville age zircon grains reflecting their proximity to that belt, which was rich in Grenvillian basement (Hoffman 1989).…”
