The uppermost Cretaceous continental deposits at the southern end of Patagonia, the Chorrillo Formation case study (Austral-Magallanes Basin): Sedimentology, fossil content and regional implications

D. Moyano-Paz et al.

Summary: The Chorrillo Formation deposits in southern Patagonia, Argentina, accumulated during a 'continental window' in the Late Cretaceous, with new vertebrate and plant fossils described. Analysis identified five architectural elements, separated into channelized and non-channelized units, representing a fine-grained dominated fluvial depositional system. The fossils include new taxa such as frogs, snakes, turtles, dinosaurs, and birds, shedding new light on the faunistic composition and paleobiogeography of Gondwana's high-latitude biotas.

TECTONIC AND PALEOCLIMATIC CONTROLS ON THE COMPOSITION OF INLAND WETLAND DEPOSITS, CHACO FORELAND BASIN, CENTRAL ANDES

David Eric Tineo et al.

Summary: In recent decades, the interest in wetlands has grown, leading to more studies on their functions. The Miocene Yecua Formation in Bolivia provides valuable insights into the sedimentological and geochemical features of wetlands in back-arc settings. The composition and transport of sediment are influenced by tectonic processes and climate, and the long-term tropical to subtropical climate favors the development of wetlands.

Tectonic vs. climate controls on the evolution of a miocene intermontane basin, Patagonian Andean foreland, Argentina

Joaquin Bucher et al.

Summary: The study analyzed a Miocene synorogenic and volcaniclastic succession in the Northpatagonian Andean foreland region, identifying different depositional systems and discussing the influence of tectonic and climatic changes on their evolution. By conducting a detailed sedimentological and stratigraphic analysis, the researchers defined eight facies associations and observed variations in the depositional systems in response to synchronous tectonic and climatic changes. The role of allogenic controls, including tectonic reconfiguration and regional aridization, in shaping the paleoenvironmental evolution of the basin was also discussed.

Reconciling Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Cenozoic Shortening, Exhumation, and Subsidence in the Southern Bolivian Andes

Nicholas D. Perez et al.

Summary: The Bolivian Andes are characterized by a paired fold-thrust belt and foreland basin, with discrepancies in exhumation and sediment accumulation timing. New results integrate multiple datasets to investigate the linkage between shortening, exhumation, and subsidence, highlighting the interplay between a range of crustal and surface processes. The delay between initial fold-thrust belt exhumation and rapid Subandean subsidence underscores the importance of protracted shortening and foreland basin recycling.

Stratigraphic response to fragmentation of the Miocene Andean foreland basin, NW Argentina

Cecilia del Papa et al.

Summary: This study examines the evolution history of the Calchaqui region in the southern part of the northeast Argentinian Eastern Cordillera through sedimentology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and geochronology, combined with structural data and fault modeling. The results show that a compartmentalization of the foreland with restricted fluvial networks occurred around 9 million years ago.

Implications of palaeosols in low net-to-gross fluvial architecture reconstruction: Reservoir analogues from Patagonia and Spain

Augusto Nicolas Varela et al.

Summary: This study modeled the changes in geometry, density, and distribution of fluvial reservoir sand-bodies through laboratory and outcrop analogues, while emphasizing the importance of fine-grained floodplain deposits for reconstruction of fluvial architecture. By analyzing palaeopedological data, the classification and variability of palaeosols were described, showing their relationship with sedimentary processes.
