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.

Key words: Trans-Caspian area, Barremian, Aptian, ammonite zones, correlation, boundary strato- type. This paper focuses on the Barremian/Aptian boundary in the Trans-Caspian area. Results of a strati- graphical study of the uppermost Barremian and the lower Aptian succession in the Trans-Caspian area are presented. The bed-by-bed description of three sections — Keldzhe, Tekedzhik and Utu- ludzha — is given as well as detailed lithologic columns. Five ammonite zones are known in the stud- ied stratigraphic interval — the Turkmeniceras turkmenicum, Deshayesites tuarkyricus, D. weissi, D. deshayesi, and Dufrenoya furcata zones. These zones are correlated with those of Europe. The Bar- remian/Aptian boundary in the Trans-Caspian area should be drawn at the base of the D. tuarkyricus Zone. It corresponds to the layers with the first occurrences of Deshayesites, Prodeshayesites and Para- deshayesites in Europe. It is proposed here to situate the boundary stratotype in the Utuludzha section, where the beds containing zonal representatives of the T. turkmenicum and D. tuarkyricus Zones are almost adjacent.

  • 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.

  • New Data on the Jaw Apparatus of Fossil Cephalopods
    New dataon the jaw apparatus of fossil cephalopods YURI D. ZAKHAROV AND TAMAZ A. LOMINADZE \ Zakharov, Yuri D. & Lominadze, Tamaz A. 19830115: New data on the jaw apparatus of fossil LETHAIA cephalopods. Lethaia, Vol. 16, pp. 67-78. Oslo. ISSN 0024-1164. A newly discovered fossil cephalopod jaw apparatus that may belong to Permian representatives of the Endocochlia is described. Permorhynchus dentatus n. gen. n. sp. is established on the basis of this ~ apparatus. The asymmetry of jaws in the Ectocochlia may be connected with the double function of the ventral jaw apparatus, and the well-developed, relatively large frontal plate of the ventral jaw should be regarded as a feature common to all representatives of ectocochlian cephalopods evolved from early Palaeozoic stock. Distinct features seen in the jaw apparatus of Upper Pcrmian cndocochlians include the pronounced beak form of both jaws and the presence of oblong wings on the ventral mandible. o Cephalopoda. jaw. operculum. aptychus, anaptychus, Permorhynchus n.gen.• evolution.

  • A Review of the Classification of Jurassic Aspidoceratid Ammonites – the Superfamily Aspidoceratoidea
    VOLUMINA JURASSICA, 2020, XVIII (1): 47–52 DOI: 10.7306/VJ.18.4 A review of the classification of Jurassic aspidoceratid ammonites – the Superfamily Aspidoceratoidea Horacio PARENT1, Günter SCHWEIGERT2, Armin SCHERZINGER3 Key words: Superfamily Aspidoceratoidea, Aspidoceratidae, Epipeltoceratinae emended, Peltoceratidae, Gregoryceratinae nov. subfam. Abstract. The aspidoceratid ammonites have been traditionally included in the superfamily Perisphinctoidea. However, the basis of this is unclear for they bear unique combinations of characters unknown in typical perisphinctoids: (1) the distinct laevaptychus, (2) stout shells with high growth rate of the whorl section area, (3) prominent ornamentation with tubercles, spines and strong growth lines running in parallel over strong ribs, (4) lack of constrictions, (5) short to very short bodychamber, and (6) sexual dimorphism characterized by minia- turized microconchs and small-sized macroconchs besides the larger ones, including changes of sex during ontogeny in many cases. Considering the uniqueness of these characters we propose herein to raise the family Aspidoceratidae to the rank of a superfamily Aspi- doceratoidea, ranging from the earliest Late Callovian to the Early Berriasian Jacobi Zone. The new superfamily includes two families, Aspidoceratidae (Aspidoceratinae, Euaspidoceratinae, Epipeltoceratinae and Hybonoticeratinae), and Peltoceratidae (Peltoceratinae and Gregoryceratinae nov. subfam.). The highly differentiated features of the aspidoceratoids indicate that their life-histories

Here we studied new fossil chondrichthyans from two localities, Río de Las Minas, and Sierra Dorotea, both in the Magallanes Region, southernmost Chile. In Río de Las Minas, the upper section of the Priabonian Loreto Formation have yielded material referable to the taxa Megascyliorhinus sp., Pristiophorus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and Callorhinchus sp. In Sierra Dorotea, middle-to-late Eocene levels of the Río Turbio Formation have provided teeth referable to the taxa Striatolamia macrota (Agassiz), Palaeohypotodus rutoti (Winkler), Squalus aff. weltoni Long, Carcharias sp., Paraorthacodus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and indeterminate Myliobatids. These new records show the presence of common chondrichtyan diversity along most of the Magallanes Basin. The new record of Paraorthacodus sp. and P. rutoti, support the extension of their respective biochrons in the Magallanes Basin and likely in the southeastern Pacific.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Fold-thrust belt In order to determine more accurate hypocenters, focal mechanisms and regional stress orientations, we Andean retroarc relocated 100 earthquakes using the JHD technique and a local velocity model. The focal depths of our relocated Flat slab events vary between 6 and 50 km. We estimated local magnitudes between 0.4 ≤ M ≤ 5.3 and moment South America L magnitudes between 1.3 ≤ Mw ≤ 5.3.
