Chapter 54 The controversial stratigraphy of the glacial deposits in the Tandilia System, Argentina

In the Ediacaran-Cambrian Tandilia System of central Argentina, the glacial origin of the thin (10 m) Sierra del Volcán Formation (Fm.) has been recognized for many years (Spalletti & del Valle 1984), being the first undisputed glacial deposits recorded in the Río de la Plata craton. It consists...
