The complex landslide of Ailinco-C° Papas-Las Olletas, northern Neuquén, Argentina

At the southern end of the Sierra de la Puntilla Range in northern Neuquén province, extensive deposits of "tilloid" features in a morphological environment with hummocky-topography were observed. Previous studies suggest their relation with glacial morphogenesis (moraines; tills). We prop...
