Neoproterozoic A-type magmatism in the Western Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina): evidence for Rodinia break-up along a proto-Iapetus rift?
(Terra nova, 2006) Baldo, Edgardo G.; Casquet Martín, César; Pankhurst, R.J.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Rapela, Carlos W.; Fanning, C.M.; Dahlquist, Juan A.; Murra, Juan Alberto
A-type orthogneisses of mid Neoproterozoic age (774 ± 6 Ma, U-Pb SHRIMP zircon age), are reported for the first time from the Grenvillian basement of the Western Sierras Pampeanas in Argentina. These anorogenic meta-igneous rocks represent the latest event of Rodinia break-up so far recognized in Grenvillian basement exposures across Andean South America. Moreover, they compare well with A-type granitoids and volcanic rocks along the Appalachian margin of Laurentia (Blue Ridge), thus adding to former evidence that the Western Sierras Pampeanas Grenvillian basement was left on the conjugate rifted margin of eastern Laurentia during Rodinia break-up and the consequent opening of the Iapetus ocean.

Diferencias entre granates de rocas ígneas y metamórficas de edad Famatiniana (Ordovícico), en las Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina)
(Macla, 2006) Dahlquist, Juan A.; Alasino, Pablo H.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Casquet Martín, César
Los granates metamórficos de los esquistos de la zona de la biotita de la sierra de Chepes son ricos en Mn y tienen composiciones muy parecidas a la de los granates ígneos de diferentes rocas graníticas de edad Famatiniana (Ordovícico) de la misma región. Por tanto, el contenido de Mn, por sí mismo, no es suficiente para discriminar el origen de estos minerales, que pueden presentarse como cristales ígneos o como xenocristales en el granito. Por el contrario, el tipo de zonación del Mn permite distinguir entre ambas situaciones, al menos en el caso de granitoides cristalizados por encima de 700ºC.
Granitoides peraluminosos con andalucita y cordierita magmáticas en la sierra de Velasco: implicancias para el orógeno famatiniano.
(Serie D Publicaciones especiales - Asociación Geológica Argentina, 2005) Alasino, Pablo H.; Dahlquist, Juan A.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Baldo, Edgardo G.; Casquet Martín, César
La combinación de estudios petrológicos, geoquímicos y de química mineral en el sector noreste de la sierra de Velasco, a la latitud de la localidad de Santa Vera Cruz, revelan la presencia de una unidad ígnea peraluminosa con andalucita (Si = 3,85, Al = 8,14 y Fe3+ = 0,04) y cordierita (K+Na = 0,33 y XFe = 0,40) magmáticas, la cual es denominada unidad Santa Cruz. La aluminosisad del magma (ISA = 1,30 - 1,42), evidenciada por la presencia de minerales aluminosos como cordierita, andalucita y muscovita y la geoquímica de roca total indican que esta unidad fue derivada de fusión parcial de una secuencia metasedimentaria (esencialmente pelítica) en la corteza superior, que se emplazó en un rango de presión - temperatura de 2 a 2,4 kbar y 670 a 720 ºC. Notablemente, las características geoquímicas de la unidad Santa Cruz sugieren una roca fuente diferente a la establecida para otras unidades peraluminosas del orógeno famatiniano. [ABSTRACT] Peraluminous granitoids with magmatic andalusite and cordierite in the Sierra de Velasco: Implications to the Famatinian Orogen. The combination of petrological, geochemical and mineral/chemical data for the NE sector of the Sierra de Velasco, at the latitud of the Santa Vera Cruz town, reveal the presence of peraluminous igneous unit with magmatic andalusite and cordierite, which has been named Santa Cruz unit. The aluminous of magma (ASI = 1.30 - 1.42), evident by the presence of aluminous minerals such as cordierite, andalusite and muscovite and the whole-rock geochemical, principally indicate that this unit was derived of the partial melting of a metasedimentary secuency (mainly pelitic) in the upper crustal, which was emplaced a pression - temperature range of 2 to 2.4 kb and 670 to 720 ºC. Remarkably, the geochemical characteristics of Santa Cruz unit suggest a different source rock than other peraluminous units founded in the Famatinian Orogen.
New SHRIMP U-Pb data from the Famatina Complex: constraining Early-Mid Ordovician Famatinian magmatism in the Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina
(Geologica acta, 2008) Dahlquist, Juan A.; Pankhurst, R.J.; Rapela, Carlos W.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Alasino, Pablo H.; Fanning, C.M.; Saavedra, Julio; Baldo, Edgardo G.
New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages are reported for igneous and sedimentary rocks of the Famatina Complex, constraining the age of the magmatism and the ensialic basins. Together with whole-rock and isotope geochemistry for the igneous rocks from the complex, these ages indicate that the voluminous parental magmas of metaluminous composition were derived by partial melting of an older lithosphere without significant asthenospheric contribution. This magmatism was initiated in the Early Ordovician (481 Ma). During the Mid-Late Ordovician, the magmatism ceased (463 Ma), resulting in a short-lived (no more than ~20 Ma) and relatively narrow (~100-150 km) magmatic belt, in contrast to the long-lived cordilleran magmatism of the Andes. The exhumation rate of the Famatina Complex was considerably high and the erosional stripping and deposition of Ordovician sediments occurred soon after of the emplacement of the igneous source rocks during the Early to mid-Ordovician. During the upper Mid Ordovician the clastic contribution was mainly derived from plutonic rocks. Magmatism was completely extinguished in the Mid Ordovician and the sedimentary basins closed in the early Late Ordovician.
The Mesoproterozoic Maz terrane in the Western Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina, equivalent to the Arequipa–Antofalla block of southern Peru? Implications for West Gondwana margin evolution
(Gondwana research, 2008) Casquet Martín, César; Pankhurst, R.J.; Rapela, Carlos W.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Fanning, C.M.; Chiaradia, Massimo; Baldo, Edgardo G.; González Casado, José Manuel; Dahlquist, Juan A.
The rocks of Sierra de Maz and Sierra del Espinal (Western Sierras Pampeanas) represent pre-Famatinian (Ordovician) basement. Isotope compositions (Nd and Pb) of metasedimentary rocks and SHRIMP U–Pb dating of detrital zircons, combined with other geological evidence, show that three parallel N–S domains can be recognized. The central Maz Domain contains pre-Grenvillian metasedimentary rocks deposited between 1.2 and 1.6 Ga, that underwent Grenvillian granulite facies metamorphism and were intruded by mafic igneous rocks and massif-type anorthosites. Metasedimentary rocks have high Nd TDM ages (1.7–2.7 Ga) and very radiogenic Pb (μ=9.8–10.2), suggesting provenance from reworked early Proterozoic or Archean continental crust. The domains to the east and west of the Maz Domain consist of three metasedimentary sequences with Nd TDM ages between 1.2 and 1.6 Ga and variably radiogenic Pb (μ=9.6–10.0). U–Pb SHRIMP dating of detrital zircons, Nd TDM model ages and comparison with other data suggest that these sequences are post-Grenvillian, i.e., Neoproterozoic and/or early Paleozoic. The Maz Domain is interpreted as a suspect terrane similar to the northern Arequipa–Antofalla craton that forms the basement of the Central Andes; both underwent Grenville-age orogeny and were probably once continuous along the western margin of Amazonia (West Gondwana).
Caracterización petrográfica y química de cordieritas de origen ígneo y metamórfico en el plutón de Cerro Toro (Argentina)
(Macla, 2006) Alasino, Pablo H.; Dahlquist, Juan A.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Casquet Martín, César
En este trabajo se presentan dos casos de cordieritas de comprobado origen ígneo y metamórfico en el plutón de Cerro Toro (Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina). A partir de comparaciones petrográficas y de química mineral entre dichas cordieritas, se concluye que los estudios combinados de petrografía y química mineral son una herramienta muy útil para discernir el origen de las cordieritas, contribuyendo al estudio petrogenético de magmas peraluminosos con presencia de este mineral.
Late Cambrian – Early Ordovician magmatism in the Sierra de Pie de Palo, Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina): implications for the early evolution of the proto-Andean margin of Gondwana
(Geological Magazine, 2020) Ramacciotti, Carlos; Casquet Martín, César; Baldo, Edgardo G.; Alasino, Pablo H.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Dahlquist, Juan A.
The Sierra de Pie de Palo, in the Argentinean Sierras Pampeanas (Andean foreland), consists of a Mesoproterozoic basement and an Ediacaran – upper Cambrian sedimentary cover that underwent folding, thrusting and metamorphism during the Ordovician Famatinian orogeny. Mafic rocks and granitoids of the easternmost Sierra de Pie de Palo provide information about the magmatic activity at the proto-Andean margin of Gondwana during late Cambrian – Early Ordovician time. Magmatic activity began in the Sierra de Pie de Palo as dykes, sills and small intrusions of tholeiitic gabbros between 490 and 470 Ma, before shortening and regional metamorphism. Variable mantle sources (Nd depleted mantle age, TDM between 1.7 and 1.3 Ga) were involved in the mafic magmatism. Nd-isotope signatures were probably inherited from a Mesoproterozoic subcontinental mantle. Mafic magmatism was coincident with collapse of a Cambrian carbonate-siliciclastic platform that extended along SW Gondwana, and was probably coeval with the beginning of subduction. After mafic magmatism, peraluminous granitoids were emplaced in the Sierra de Pie de Palo along ductile shear zones during a contractional tectonic phase, coeval with moderate to high P/T metamorphism, and with the Cordilleran-type magmatic arc that resulted from a flare-up at c. 470 Ma. Granitoids resulted mainly from partial melting of metasedimentary rocks, although some hybridization with juvenile magmas and/or rocks cannot be ruled out. The evidence shown here further implies that the Pie de Palo block was part of the continental upper plate during the Famatinian subduction, and not an exotic block that collided with the Gondwana margin.
The Faja Eruptiva of the Eastern Puna and the Sierra de Calalaste, NW Argentina: U–Pb zircon chronology of the early Famatinan orogeny
(Journal of iberian geology, 2021) Casquet Martín, César; Alasino, Pablo H.; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Dahlquist, Juan A.; Baldo, Edgardo G.; Ramacciotti, Carlos; Verdecchia, Sebastián; Larrovere, Mariano Alexis; Rapela, Carlos W.; Recio, C.
The Famatinian is a segment of the Ordovician Terra Australis accretionary orogen that stretched along the SW Margin of Gondwana from Australia to Colombia. The present knowledge of this orogenic segment still is incomplete. We present geochemistry and U–Pb SHRIMP zircon geochronology of igneous and metamorphic rocks from the Central Famatinian Domain, one of the several domains recognized by Rapela et al. (Earth Sci Rev 187: 259–285. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2018.10.006) that includes the northern Sierras Pampeanas and the southern Puna of North West Argentina. Six samples of igneous rocks (peraluminous granitoids, mafic and felsic rocks, volcanic/subvolcanic rocks) and six samples of associated meta-sedimentary rocks, all from the Puna were dated and chemically analysed. The results indicate that the Central Famatinian Domain is in turn a composite domain that includes a Cordilleran-type magmatic arc (ca. 470 Ma) and a yuxtaposed fault-bounded older terrain formed in an extensional setting at the very start of the Famatinian orogeny, between 480 and 485 Ma, i.e., shortly after the SW Gondwana margin switched from passive to active. This short period of extension with related sedimentation, volcanism and mainly granitoid plutonism has not been previously recognised. It occurred before the Cordilleran-type magmatic arc -that resulted from a magmatic flare-up between ca. 473 and 468 Ma-, set up coincident with a contractional phase. The evidence confirms that accretionary orogeny results from tectonic switching (pull–push orogeny) and that the extensional and contractional phases are of relatively short duration.
Fault controlled Carboniferous A-type magmatism in the proto-Andean foreland (Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina): Geochemical constraints and petrogenesis
(Lithos, 2010) Dahlquist, Juan A.; Alasino, Pablo H.; Eby, G. Nelson; Galindo Francisco, María Del Carmen; Casquet Martín, César
The intrusion of granitoids into the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas in the Early Carboniferous took place after a long period of mainly compressional deformation that included the Famatinian (Ordovician) and Achalian (Devonian) orogenies. These granitoids occur as small scattered plutons emplaced in a dominant extensional setting, within older metamorphic and igneous rocks, and many of them are arranged along a reactivated large shear zone. A set of 46 samples from different granitic rocks: Huaco granitic complex, San Blas pluton, and the La Chinchilla stock from the Sierra de Velasco, Zapata granitic complex from Sierra de Zapata, and the Los Árboles pluton from Sierra de Fiambalá, display high and restricted SiO2 contents between 69.2 and 76.4 wt.%. On both FeO/(FeO+MgO) vs. SiO2 and [(Na2O+K2O)−CaO] vs. SiO2 plots the samples plot in the ferroan and alkaline-calcic to calco-alkaline fields (FeO/(FeO+MgO)=0.88–1.0%;[(Na2O+K2O)−CaO]= 6.3–8.3%), thus showing an A-type granitoid signature. The high concentrations for the High Field Strength Elements (HSFE), such as Y, Nb, Ga, Ta, U, Th, etc. and flat REE patterns showing significant negative Eu anomalies are also typical features of A-type granites. Our petrogenetic model supports progressive fractional crystallization with dominant fractionation of feldspar and a source mineral assemblage enriched in plagioclase. Biotites have distinctive compositions with high FeO/MgO ratios (7.8–61.5), F (360– 5610 ppm), and Cl (120–1050 ppm). The FeO/MgO ratios together with the F and Cl content of igneous biotites seem to reflect the nature of their parental host magmas and may be useful in identifying A-type granitoids. The isotopic data (Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd) confirm that the A-type granites represent variable mixtures of asthenospheric mantle and continental crust and different mixtures lead to different subtypes of A-type granite (illustrating the lack of consensus about A-type magma origin). We conclude that prominent shear zones play an important role in providing suitable conduits for ascending asthenospheric material and heat influx in the crust, a hypothesis that is in accord with other recent work on A-type granites.
