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...

description 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.
