Late paleozoic high-constructive deltaic sequences from northwestern Patagonia, Argentine Republic

Clastic deposits belonging to the Río Genoa Formation (Tepuel Group) have been studied in the southeastern area of the Tepuel-Genoa Basin. On the basis of detailed stratigraphic sections made in several localities along the Río Genoa Valley and neighboring areas, differen facies and subenvironments...

On the basis of detailed stratigraphic sections made in several localities along the Río Genoa Valley and neighboring areas, differen facies and subenvironments of a deltaic complex have been recognized and interpreted.

In this regard, the delta progradation onto shallow marine deposits (Mojón de Hierro Formation) was due to a rising source area since latest Carboniferous time. Sedimentation was also controlled by "stillstand" sea conditions that were interrupted at least twice by high sea stages during Early Permian times. © 1989. 1989 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_08959811_v2_n1_p19_Andreis http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_08959811_v2_n1_p19_Andreis
