Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Andean Orogen between 31 and 37°S (Chile and Western Argentina) Available to Purchase
Abstract In this classic segment, many tectonic processes, like flat-subduction, terrane accretion and steepening of the subduction, among others, provide a robust framework for their understanding. Five orogenic cycles, with variations in location and type of magmatism, tectonic regimes and development of different accretionary prisms, show a complex evolution. Accretion of a continental terrane in the Pampean cycle exhumed lower to middle crust in Early Cambrian. The Ordovician magmatic arc, associated metamorphism and foreland basin formation characterized the Famatinian cycle. In Late Devonian, the collision of Chilenia and associated high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphism contrasts with the late Palaeozoic accretionary prisms. Contractional deformation in Early to Middle Permian was followed by extension and rhyolitic (Choiyoi) magmatism. Triassic to earliest Jurassic rifting was followed by subduction and extension, dominated by Pacific marine ingressions, during Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. The Late Cretaceous was characterized by uplift and exhumation of the Andean Cordillera. An Atlantic ingression occurred in latest Cretaceous. Cenozoic contraction and uplift pulses alternate with Oligocene extension. Late Cenozoic subduction was characterized by the Pampean flat-subduction, the clockwise block tectonic rotations in the normal subduction segments and the magmatism in Payenia. These processes provide evidence that the Andean tectonic model is far from a straightforward geological evolution.
Neogene landscape evolution in the Andes of north-central Chile between 28 and 32°S: interplay between tectonic and erosional processes Available to Purchase
Abstract We combine geomorphological analysis of palaeosurfaces and U–Pb zircon geochronology of overlying tuffs to reconstruct the Neogene landscape evolution in north-central Chile (28–32°S). Prior to the Early Miocene, a pediplain dominated the landscape of the present-day Coastal Cordillera. The pediplain was offset during the Early (Middle?) Miocene, leading to uplift of the present-day eastern Coastal Cordillera and to the formation of a secondary topographic front. During the Late Miocene, the entire Coastal Cordillera was uplifted, with resulting deposition taking place within river valleys similar to those of the present day. A new pediplain developed on top of these deposits between the Early to Middle Pleistocene and was finally uplifted post-500 ka. These three major uplift stages correlate with episodes of increased deformation widely recognized throughout the Central Andes, starting after a Late Oligocene–Early Miocene episode of increased plate convergence. North of 30°S, the previous palaeotopography along the western Coastal Cordillera probably influenced Neogene landscape evolution. The presence of an inherited palaeotopography together with a strong decrease of precipitation to the north of 30°S would have determined differences in landscape development between this area and the area to the south of 30°S since the Early Miocene.

Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Andean Orogen in Chile Available to Purchase
Abstract Since the comprehensive synthesis on the Argentine–Chilean Andes by Mpodozis & Ramos (1989) , important progress has been made on the stratigraphy, palaeogeographic evolution and tectonic development of the Andean Orogen in Chile. We present here an overview of this evolution considering the new information and interpretations, including some unpublished ideas of the authors. To enable the reader to delve further into the subjects treated here, we accompany the text with abundant references. In the interpretation of the stratigraphic and radioisotopic data we used the timescale of Harland et al. (1989) . During most of its history the continental margin of South America was an active plate margin. The Late Proterozoic to Late Palaeozoic evolution was punctuated by terrane accretion and westward arc migration, and can be described as a ‘collisional history’. Although accretion of some terranes has been documented for the post-Triassic history, the evolution during post-Triassic times is characterized more by the eastward retreat of the continental margin and eastward arc migration, attributed to subduction erosion, and therefore can be described as an ‘erosional history’. The intermediate period, comprising the Late Permian and the Triassic, corresponds to an episode of no, or very slow, subduction activity along the continental margin, during which a totally different palaeogeographic organization was developed and a widely distributed magmatism with essentially different affinities occurred. It is therefore possible to differentiate major stages in the tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Chilean Andes, which can be related to the following episodes of supercontinent evolution: (1) post-Pangaea
