The neoproterozoic glacial record in the Río de la Plata Craton: A critical reappraisal
Neoproterozoic glacial successions have been described in South America, but the glacial deposits of the Río de la Plata Craton have been neglected in previous studies addressing the global distribution of glacially influenced successions. The Río de la Plata Craton contains Neoproterozoic glacial d...
