Los Chilenos granite: a new Jurassic granite unit in Cerro Colorado, Sierras Australes de Buenos Aires. Tectonic implication. The Sierras Australes of Buenos Aires are located in the south-west corner of the Province about 100 km west of Bahia Blanca. On the south-west flank of these hills, younger...
