Magmatic and tectonic evolution of the Oligocene Valle del cura basin, main Andes of Argentina and Chile: Evidence for generalized extension
The magmatic history and tectonic evolution of the Valle del Cura region has received the attention of several studies in recent years, particularly as part of a larger area of interest named the Indio Belt. These studies have suggested an Eocene volcanic sequence known as the Valle del Cura Formati...

The magmatic history and tectonic evolution of the Valle del Cura region has received the attention of several studies in recent years, particularly as part of a larger area of interest named the Indio Belt.

The tectonic setting that controlled the volcanism of the Valle del Cura Formation was extensional and corresponds to a retro-arc position of the main arc volcanism of the Doña Ana Group.
