A monumental collection on the geology of South American basins. Jointly published by AAPG, YPFB, and Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Bolivia, this volume offers 41 papers (800 pages), covering more basins in greater detail than any previous South American compilation. The publication is organized into five sections: Regional Setting (6 papers); Paleozoic Basins (7 papers); Mesozoic Rifts (7 papers); Andean Basins (8 papers); Northern South America (13 papers).
