Mesoproterozoic to Paleozoic U-Pb SHRIMP II ages of granitoid bodies in NW Argentina and their consequences for the interpretation of the geological evolution of the Central Andes
Petrographic and geochemical studies combined with U-Pb SHRIMP II analyses of zircons from three granitoid rocks in northwest Argentina reveal new data to enhance the understanding of the margin of western Gondwana. The I-type granite at Pomán (‘Granito Pomán’), with a typical continental arc geoche...

Petrographic and geochemical studies combined with U-Pb SHRIMP II analyses of zircons from three granitoid rocks in northwest Argentina reveal new data to enhance the understanding of the margin of western Gondwana. The I-type granite at Pomán (‘Granito Pomán’), with a typical continental arc geochemical signature, has been intruded into schists and gneisses of the regional basement during the Lower Cambrian (535 ± 5 Ma; MSDW = 0.024). This supports the existence of a volcanic arc of Lower Cambrian age evolving possibly contemporary to some successions of the Puncoviscana Complex. Two deformed and metamorphosed, granitoid bodies (Chacritas and San Ignacio-Los Pinos granitoids) derived from metamorphic (metasedimentary?) rocks, contain few euhedral Mesoproterozoic zircon crystals, which show no sign of reworking. Most of these euhedral zircons have rims of younger ages (Neoproterozoic to Permian) with Th/U ratios mostly lower than 0.001.
