Francisco José Cueto Berciano 23rd LAK, 2014, Heidelberg Welcome and Acknowledgements 5 Welcome and Acknowledgements Welcome to Heidelberg, Bienvenidos a Heidelberg, Willkommen in Heidelberg! We cordially welcome you at the 23rd Latin American Colloquium, LAK 2014, held at the Institut für Geowissenschaften, Universität Heidelberg. We intend to bring together researchers from all fields of Earth Sciences working on the geological evolution of Central- and South America and their continental margins, processes of mountain building in the region, uplift and erosion, as well as interaction between tectonic and climatic parameters. Other contributions are related to palaeontology, natural resources, geo-hazards and economic geology. Until 2011 the LAK was organized biannually by a working group of the Germany Research Foundation (DFG). Due to a reorganisation in the structure of the DFG, the continuity was interrupted. This is the reason why the present LAK is held after a three year´s break, and once more at Heidelberg. The continuity of our meeting is now guaranteed and the next conference already planned to take place in Münster, March 27-31, 2016. We are grateful to the DFG for providing funds to support the organisation of the meeting as well as travel and subsistence for eleven participants from Latin American countries. Additional travel funds were made available by the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) for participants in the GOAL initiative (Geo-Network of Latin American-German Alumni). We are happy to welcome our colleagues from Latin America and Germany once more to the Institute of Earth Sciences at Heidelberg and hope that everybody will enjoy a successful meeting.

  • The Rio Ca~Ete Basin : Central Coastal Ranges of Peru
    Third ISAG, St Malo (France), 17-1 9/91]996 STRATIGRAPHY, SEDIMENTOLOGY AND TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE RIO CA~ETEBASIN : CENTRAL COASTAL RANGES OF PERU Antenor M. Aleman Amoco Production CO Houston, Texas 77293 KEY WORDS: Lima stratigraphy, frontal arc, arc extension. Central Coastal Ranges evolution. ABSTRACT The Rio Caiiete Basin in the Central Coastal Ranges of Peru (C.C.R.P.) represents a fault-bounded frontal-arc Late Jurasic (Tithonian) to Albian sequence formed by aborted intra-arc spreading process during the early evolution of the Andes (Fig.1). The sequence, exposed in the Lima area, consists of more than 6000 meters of volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, lava flows, lime mudstones, shales, quartz rich sandstones and subordinated fossiliferous limestones and evaporites. The stratigraphy records several episodes of volcanism and extension along and across the basin and provides new insight in the evolution and crustal growth of the Central Andes. INTRODUCTION Four widespread groups and one areally restricted formation mark important stages in the stratigraphic, sediimentologic and tectonic evolution of the Rio Caiiete Basin. The Puente Piedra Group consists of volcaniclastic debris, basaltic to andesitic lava flows, shales and subordinate limestones that document the presence of a Jurassic volcanic arc (Fig.2). The overlying quartz rich sandstones and shales of the Morro Solar Group (fig.3) records an abrupt change in sedimentation and tectonic style. Ensialic extension accompanied by subsidence of the volcanic arc and concomitant uplift of the Paleozoic (o Precambrian "Coastal Cordillera" (Paracas Block) explains the change of source and provenance. The areally restricted Pucusana Formation (Fig.4), made up of alkaline lavas, volcanic breccias and lapillistones, is interpreted (o represent a localized volcanic center perhaps related to subduction of oceanic fractures.

  • Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Carbonaceous Mudstone As a Vector to Ore: a Case Study at the Lagunas Norte High-Sulfidation Gold Deposit, Peru
    MINERALOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF CARBONACEOUS MUDSTONE AS A VECTOR TO ORE: A CASE STUDY AT THE LAGUNAS NORTE HIGH-SULFIDATION GOLD DEPOSIT, PERU by Harry Hanneman A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: ________________________ Harry Hanneman Signed: ________________________ Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: ________________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Lagunas Norte Au deposit in the Alto Chicama district of Peru is a ~14 Moz high- sulfidation epithermal deposit that is hosted by an atypical host-rock succession for this deposit type. Approximately 80% of the ore body is contained in the Lower Cretaceous Chimu Formation, which is composed of quartz arenite with interbedded carbonaceous mudstone, siltstone, and coal seams. The remainder of the ore is hosted by the Miocene volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group, forming an irregular and thin veneer on the deformed sedimentary rocks of the basement. The host rock succession of the Lagunas Norte deposit has been affected by widespread hydrothermal alteration. The alteration is cryptic within most of sedimentary rocks as the quartz arenite was largely inert to alteration by the strongly acidic fluids. Vuggy textures associated with residual quartz alteration can only be recognized in the overlying Miocene volcanic rocks. However, the present study shows that mudstone of the Chimu Formation records acid-type alteration due to its originally high clay mineral content.

  • A Pliocene Mega-Tsunami Deposit and Associated Features in the Ranquil Formation, Southern Chile ⁎ J.P
    A Pliocene mega-tsunami deposit and associated features in the Ranquil Formation, southern Chile ⁎ J.P. Le Roux a, , Sven N. Nielsen b,1, Helga Kemnitz b, Álvaro Henriquez a a Departamento de Geología, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, Universidad de Chile, Casilla 13518, Correo 21, Santiago, Chile b GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Section 3.1, Telegrafenberg, 14473 Potsdam, Germany Abstract An exceptionally large tsunami affected the coastline of southern Chile during the Pliocene. Its backflow eroded coarse beach and coastal dune sediments and redistributed them over the continental shelf and slope. Sandstone dykes and sills injected from the base of the resulting hyperconcentrated flow into underlying cohesive muds, assisted in plucking up large blocks of the latter and incorporating them into the flow. Locally, the rip-up intraclasts were fragmented further by smaller-scale injections to form a distinct breccia of angular to rounded mudstone clasts within a medium to coarse sandstone matrix. Sandstone sills in places mimic normal sedimentary beds, complete with structures resembling inverse gradation, planar laminae, as well as ripple and trough cross-lamination. These were probably formed by internal sediment flow and shear stress as the semi-liquefied sand was forcefully injected into cracks. In borehole cores, such sills can easily be misinterpreted as normal sedimentary beds, which can have important implications for hydrocarbon exploration.

  • Hypogene Cave Patterns in Iron Ore Caves: Convergence of Forms Or Processes?
    A. AULER, L. PILÓ, C. PARKER, J. SENKO, I. SASOWSKY, H. Barton HYPOGENE CAVE PATTERNS IN IRON ORE CAVES: CONVERGENCE OF FORMS OR PROCESSES? Augusto S. Auler1, Luís B. Piló1, Ceth W. Parker2, John M. Senko2,3, Ira D. Sasowsky3, and Hazel A. Barton2,3 peleogenesis in iron ore caves may involve generation of porosity at depth with a later surficial phase associated Swith slope hydrological processes. The earlier phreatic phase results in morphological features similar to but much more irregular at wall and ceiling scale than what is observed in hypo- gene caves. Processes responsible for the generation of caves do not seem to follow normal karst geochemical paths, but instead occur through bacterially mediated redox reactions. INTRODUCTION Caves and small voids in iron-rich rocks have been reported in the Brazilian geological literature since the 19th Century, but only recently, due to the expansion of iron mines, have they been subject to detailed studies. Initial research was performed by American geologists from the United States Geological Sur- vey in the Iron Quadrangle region of southeastern Brazil, with George C. Simmons providing pioneering insights on cave gen- esis and mineralogy (Simmons, 1963; 1964). Since 2005, with the increase in iron ore prices and the regulatory mandate to as- sess the significance of any void over 5 m in length, intensive research has resulted in the identification of approximately 3,000 caves, the majority of them being located in the two major iron ore provinces, Carajás ridge in northern Brazil (Amazonia) and the Iron Quadrangle area (Fig. 1). Cave mapping and geospele- ological studies have provided new insights on the morphology and genesis of these enigmatic and little known caves.

In this paper, a study is made on the average spatial and temporal behavior of radon gas in soils of deposits; igneous rocks. Lima City. Radon concentration was determined using the LR-115 type 2 track detector during 36 periods, of 14 days each, in twenty holes distributed in the fifteen districts of Lima City. Radon concentration in soil pores ranged from 0.1 to 64.3 kBq/m3 with an average value of 5.6 kBq/m3. The average radon concentration in soil gas was about two times lower in winter than in the other seasons. High radon values during October/November 2017 were related to the earthquakes perceived in Lima City in that period. The highest radon concentrations were found in areas of alluvial deposits whose parental material has been removed from the Quilmaná and Huarangal volcanics by the Chillón and Huaycoloro Rivers. Soil gas radon concentrations were even higher in areas closer to volcanic and less distant from rivers.
