New paleomagnetic data from Upper Oligocene-Lower Miocene rocks of the Northern Argentine Puna-Southern Bolivian Altiplano: Constraining the age of vertical axis rotations

Along the Central Andes a pattern of vertical axis rotations has been paleomagnetically identified. Such rotations are counterclockwise north of Arica Deflection (~19° S) and clockwise to the south. Different hypothesis and models have been proposed to explain the Central Andean Rotation Pattern (CA...
