Pre-carboniferous Evolution of the San Rafael Block, Argentina

Implications in the Gondwana Margin

  • Scientists around the world have been interested in understanding the evolution of Gondwana and its interaction to Laurentia
  • The southern Pacific South America proto-Andean Gondwana margin is characterized during the Paleozoic by the presence of orogenic belts accreted to the cratonic areas
  • The data of pre-Carboniferous units of the San Rafael block are compiled
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
