Ground magnetic survey of Pan de Azúcar zone, Puna Jujeña (22°30′ S-66°00′ W)

The Pan de Azúcar Volcanic Complex crops out on the southern border of the Laguna Pozuelos basin (Puna Jujeña). It consists of several volcanic-dome centres of approximately 12 Ma age, formed by minor intrusives, lavas and pyroclastic rocks of dacitic composition. The volcanic complex hosts the Pan...
