Descripción
Sumario:Within the framework of the expeditions organized by the Museo de la Plata, stand out the observations of the Mendoza Andes by Carl Burckhardt, Leo Wehrli and Rudolf Hauthal. Based on their descriptions and the existing photographic archive in the library of the Federal Polytechnic School (ETH) of Zurich, it was possible to reconstruct the route made in 1897. Based on the published works, mainly those of Burckhardt, we were able to relocate two classic fossiliferous localities, the Cajón del Burro and the “Molinos Colgados”. In the first were collected type specimens of ammonites, which are presently lost. The second, Mallines Colgados, was located on the right bank of the Rio Grande. The new material collected, as well as the observations made, highlight the work done by these explorers at the end of the 19th century.
