Neoproterozoic to Early Palaeozoic events in the Sierra de San Luis: Implications for the Famatinian geodynamics in the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina)

The application of the sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U/Pb dating technique to zircon and monazites of different rock types of the Sierra de San Luis provides an important insight into the provenance and timing of deposition of the sedimentary precursors as well as the metamorphic...

Additional constraints on the Famatinian metamorphic episode are provided by Pb/Pb stepwise leaching experiments on one staurolite and two garnet separates. The results indicate that the sedimentary precursors of the Conlara Metamorphic Complex have a maximum age of c. 590 Ma, whereas the Pringles Metamorphic Complex metasediments appear to be sourced from the Pampean orogen in the Early Cambrian.
