Sedimentary Provenance Analysis of the Ordovician Ponón Trehué Formation, San Rafael Block, Mendoza-Argentina
The present chapter deals with provenance analysis of a carbonate-siliciclastic Ordovician sedimentary unit of the San Rafael block, named the Ponón Trehué Formation (Darriwilian to Sandbian). This is the only sequence which exhibits a direct contact with the Mesoproterozoic basement through an unco...

The present chapter deals with provenance analysis of a carbonate-siliciclastic Ordovician sedimentary unit of the San Rafael block, named the Ponón Trehué Formation (Darriwilian to Sandbian).
