Paleoenvironmental model of La Flecha Formation (Upper Cambrian) from Jáchal region, San Juan province

La Flecha Formation (Upper Cambrian) in Precordillera Central is composed of microbiolitic buildups, with a shallowing upward tendency. This paper includes the study of mega, meso and microstructure of thrombolites and stromatolites and the microfacial analysis of the muddy sequence. The following m...
