Uplift analysis on a pericratonic region: An example in the Sierras de Córdoba (29°–34°S), Argentina

Triassic-Jurassic thermal evolution and exhumation of the western Gondwana foreland: Thermochronology and basalt thermobarometry from the Argentine Sierras Pampeanas

“…The following sedimentary pile is represented by thin (<500 m thick) alluvial Cretaceous and Cenozoic successions that rest on the crystalline basement, overstepping the Serrezuela/Tasa Cuna area. The uppermost Cretaceous to Neogene sedimentary strata were associated with the latest tectonic events reported in the eastern Sierras Pampeanas: rift basins formed during the opening of the Atlantic Ocean, which were tectonically inverted during Andean compression (see Schmidt et al, 1995, Martino et al, 2016Canelo et al, 2019). Along and across the eastern Sierras Pampeanas, no Triassic and Jurassic records crop out, suggesting that an extended erosional/no depositional event would have dominated these latitudes between the Late Paleozoic and Cretaceous, during the amalgamation-breakup of Pangea.…”
