Previous studies of the mafic magmas in this region proposed a scenario of mantle melting due to lithospheric delamination and/or steepening of the subducting slab. However, few of the centers have been precisely dated, which limits any geodynamic interpretation. We present results of laser incremental-heating 40Ar/39Ar dating of 22 back-arc centers in the southern Puna, with emphasis on the Salar de Antofalla region where volcanic activity was most intense. Three localities yielded ages between 7.3 and 7.0 Ma which, along with 2 previous 7 Ma ages, firmly establishes that back-arc activity began as early as late Miocene.

The largest and best known CVZ ignimbrites are located on the Altiplano-Puna plateau north of 24 °S. Their compositions and huge erupted volumes suggest an origin by large-scale crustal melting, and present-day geophysical anomalies in this region suggest still active zones of partial melting in the middle crust. Farther south in the CVZ, the Cerro Galán complex erupted ignimbrites in the late Miocene and Pliocene that are quite similar in volume and composition to those from north of 24 °S and they have a similar origin.

Email: [email protected] RESUMEN La historia eruptiva del volcán Chimpa (24º00´S-66º08´O) comprende un ciclo explosivo que eruptó ignimbritas y depósitos de flujos de bloques y ceniza de composición andesítica, y un ciclo efusivo, representado por lavas andesíticas y andesíticas basálticas. Los primeros materiales emitidos durante el ciclo explosivo corresponden a ignimbritas, las cuales no poseen evi- dencias de interacción con magmas básicos. Por el contrario, en los depósitos de flujos de bloques y ceniza quedó registrada la interacción con un magma básico (mingling) representado por inclusiones máficas y el desarrollo de texturas de desequilibrio en plagioclasa y biotita. Sin embargo, la composición del magma andesítico no se modificó durante la mezcla. En el ciclo efu- sivo se generó un nuevo magma, por mezcla y homogeneización (magma mixing) entre el magma andesítico y un magma más básico. Este magma híbrido posee una asociación mineral en desequilibrio, que incluye olivino y cuarzo con corona de clino- piroxeno, hornblenda y biotita con coronas formadas por plagioclasa + ortopiroxeno + magnetita, así como ortopiroxeno con coronas de clinopiroxeno. Estas fases en desequilibrio coexisten junto a otros cristales de las mismas fases, pero en aparente equilibrio. En diagramas geoquímicos, las lavas híbridas ocupan una posición intermedia en la tendencia lineal definida por el extremo andesítico y andesítico basáltico. La proporción del magma básico involucrado en la mezcla es de 44%.

Beatriz Lydia Luisa Coira Codirector: Dr. Eduardo Jorge Llambías Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo Universidad Nacional de La Plata Año 2009 iii Resumen Este trabajo se realizó a partir de la hipótesis de trabajo: “los centros volcánicos emplazados alrededor y por encima del domo resurgente de la caldera Vilama (Puna argentina-Altiplano boliviano) con posterioridad a su colapso, son representantes de la Etapa de Postcolapso de dicha caldera”. De acuerdo con el modelo clásico de calderas resurgentes, para cumplir con dicha condición los centros volcánicos deberían estar formados por rocas derivadas del magma restante en la cámara magmática luego de la erupción formadora de la caldera. Para someter a prueba a esta hipótesis de trabajo se realizó un estudio petrológico de los centros volcánicos referidos, y luego se los comparó con la Ignimbrita Vilama, representante de la Etapa de Colapso de la caldera.
