Structural overprint of a late Paleozoic accretionary system in north-central Chile (34°-35°S) during post-accretional deformation
2009
En la Cordillera de la Costa de Chile, de 36° a 35°S, se encuentra expuesta la arquitectura coherentemente preservada de un prisma de acrecion del Paleozoico tardio, en cercana vecindad a un area entre los 34° y 35°S, donde el mismo esta fuertemente modificado por procesos postacrecionales. Estudiando las desviaciones de la arquitectura original, en esta region pueden ser perfectamente distinguidas estructuras sin- y post acrecionales. Al sur de los 35° se observa un contacto transicional entre dos unidades mayores, el cual refleja un cambio continuo en el modo de acrecion de la cuna acrecional antes de -305 Ma: las metagrauvacas estructuralmente suprayacentes de las series orientales muest…
U-Pb age constraints on Carboniferous-Permian French continental basins - implications for their depositional history and correlations with European …
2022
International audience; Late Carboniferous to Permian basins of western Europe (~Gzhelian to Artinskian), developed during thelate stages of the Variscan orogeny in equatorial paleolatitudes. The stratigraphic context of most of thesebasins remains poorly constrained, because mainly based on “continental stages” (e.g., Stephanian, Autunian,Saxonian and Thuringian) that are diachronous. Therefore, correlating these basins together and withinternationally recognized stratigraphic marine stages requires precise radiochronologic ages.To the south of the Paris Basin (France), volcanic ash-fall layers (i.e., tonsteins) are interbedded in theCarboniferous-Permian sedimentary successions of the Aum…
