Miocene to Late Quaternary Patagonian basalts (46-47[deg]S): Geochronometric and geochemical evidence for slab tearing due to active spreading ridge subduction (2006)

Guivel, Christele, Morata, Diego, Pelleter, Ewan, Espinoza, Felipe, C. Maury, René, Lagabrielle, Yves, ...

Miocene to Quaternary large basaltic plateaus occur in the back-arc domain of the Andean chain in Patagonia. They are thought to result from the ascent of subslab asthenospheric magmas through slab...

Belmar, Mauricio, Morata, Diego

Triassic-Jurassic volcano-sedimentary sequences in the Coastal Range of central Chile (34 degrees 45/35 degrees 20'S) from the Vichuquen-Tilicura and Hualane-Gualleco basins display metamorphic...

Machado, Adriane, Chemale, Farid Jr., Conceicao, Rommulo V., Kawaskita, Koji, Morata, Diego, Oteíza, Orlando, ...

Isotope data and trace elements concentrations are presented for volcanic and plutonic rocks from the Livingston, Greenwich, Robert, King George and Ardley islands (South Shetland arc, Antarctica)....

Spinel-facies mantle xenoliths from Cerro Redondo, Argentine Patagonia: Petrographic, geochemical, and isotopic evidence of interaction between xenoliths and host basalt (2005)

Schilling, M., Conceicao, Rommulo V., Mallmann, G., Koester, E., Kawaskita, Koji, Hervé, H., ...

Cerro Redondo is an ancient cinder cone now almost completely eroded, sited over a sill that corresponds to a sub-volcanic magma chamber, in Santa Cruz province, Patagonia, Argentina. It is composed...

Petrogenesis of the Eocene and Mio-Pliocene alkaline basaltic magmatism in Meseta Chile Chico, southern Patagonia, Chile: Evidence for the participation of two slab windows (2005)

Espinoza, Felipe, Morata, Diego, Pelleter, Ewan, Maury, René, Suárez, Manuel, Lagabrielle, Yves, ...

The Meseta Chile Chico (MCC, 46.4 degrees S) is the westernmost exposure of Eocene (lower basaltic sequence, LBS; 55-40 Ma, K-Ar ages) and Mio-Pliocene (upper basaltic sequence, UBS; 16-4 Ma, K-Ar...

Machado, Adriane, Chemale, Farid Jr., Conceicao, Rommulo V., Kawaskita, Koji, Morata, Diego, Oteíza, Orlando, ...

Isotope data and trace elements concentrations are presented for volcanic and plutonic rocks from the Livingston, Greenwich, Robert, King George and Ardley islands (South Shetland arc, Antarctica)....

Ages and cooling history of the Early Cretaceous Caleu pluton: testimony of a switch from a rifted to a compressional continental margin in central Chile (2005)

Parada, Miguel, Féraud, Gilbert, Fuentes, Francisco, Aguirre, Luis, Morata, Diego, Larrondo, Paula

The Caleu pluton, in the Coastal Range of central Chile, represents the last magmatic event related to the Early Cretaceous rifting along the western margin of South America. The pluton was emplaced...

Ar-40/Ar-39 dating of volcanism and subsequent very low-grade metamorphism in a subsiding basin: example of the Cretaceous lava series from central Chile (2005)

Fuentes, Francisco, Féraud, Gilbert, Aguirre, Luis, Morata, Diego

Ar-40/Ar-39 geochronological method is applied to date both emplacement and subsequent very low-grade metamorphism of a thick lava series, the Veta Negra Formation from the Cordon de Chacana area, in...

The Bandurrias gabbro: Late Oligocene alkaline magmatism in the Patagonian Cordillera (2005)

Morata, Diego, Oliva, Claudia, Cruz, Rita De La, Suárez, Manuel

The authors present petrological and geochemical data for the Late Oligocene (ca. 27 Ma) Bandurrias gabbro, a small (approximate to 4.5 x 3 km), isolated intrusion near Coyhaique (45degrees35' Lat....

Compositional variations of syntectonic white-mica in low-grade ignimbritic mylonite (2005)

Arancibia, G., Morata, Diego
