Analysis of recent geological and geochronological data from the basement of the South
American platform indicates that the Brasiliano orogenic collage took place in four distinct …

The basement of the Central Andes provides insights for the dispersal of Rodinia, the
reconstruction of Gondwana, and the dynamics of terrane accretion along the Pacific. The …

On multimillion-year time scales, Earth has experienced warm ice-free and cold glacial
climates, but it is unknown whether transitions between these background climate states …

The Andes make up the largest orogenic system developed by subduction of oceanic crust
along a continental margin. Subduction began soon after the breakup of Rodinia in Late …

Provenance of detrital sediments of the Neuquén Basin in Central Argentina was
investigated using U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopic composition of zircon grains in order to …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean opened during the fission of the supercontinent Rodinia, from
the breakup of three of its core continental constituents: Laurentia, Baltica and Amazonia …

The provenance of Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the Sierras
Pampeanas has been established using U–Pb SHRIMP age determination of detrital zircons …

The temporal transition from backarc extension to retroarc shortening is a fundamental
process in the evolution of many Andean-type convergent margins. This switch in tectonic …

The analysis of the basement of the Andes shows the strong Grenville affinities of most of the
inliers exposed in the different terranes from Colombia to Patagonia. The terranes have …

The large cratonic block of Pampia, at present in southern South America, is commonly
missing in recent comprehensive reconstructions of Rodinia. This block was the conjugate …
