  • Late Mesozoic to Paleogene Stratigraphy of the Salar De Atacama Basin, Antofagasta, Northern Chile: Implications for the Tectonic Evolution of the Central Andes
    Late Mesozoic to Paleogene stratigraphy of the Salar de Atacama Basin, Antofagasta, Northern Chile: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Central Andes Constantino Mpodozisa,T,Ce´sar Arriagadab, Matilde Bassoc, Pierrick Roperchd, Peter Cobbolde, Martin Reichf aServicio Nacional de Geologı´a y Minerı´a, now at Sipetrol. SA, Santiago, Chile bDepartamento de Geologı´a, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile cServicio Nacional de Geologı´a y Minerı´a, Santiago, Chile dIRD/Dep. de Geologı´a, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile eGe´osciences-Rennes (UMR6118 du CNRS), France fDepartment of Geological Sciences University of Michigan, United States Abstract The Salar de Atacama basin, the largest bpre-AndeanQ basin in Northern Chile, was formed in the early Late Cretaceous as a consequence of the tectonic closure and inversion of the Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Tarapaca´ back arc basin. Inversion led to uplift of the Cordillera de Domeyko (CD), a thick-skinned basement range bounded by a system of reverse faults and blind thrusts with alternating vergence along strike. The almost 6000-m-thick, upper Cretaceous to lower Paleocene sequences (Purilactis Group) infilling the Salar de Atacama basin reflects rapid local subsidence to the east of the CD. Its oldest outcropping unit (Tonel Formation) comprises more than 1000 m of continental red sandstones and evaporites, which began to accumulate as syntectonic growth strata during the initial stages of CD uplift. Tonel strata are capped by almost 3000 m of sandstones and conglomerates of western provenance, representing the sedimentary response to renewed pulses of tectonic shortening, which were deposited in alluvial fan, fluvial and eolian settings together with minor lacustrine mudstone (Purilactis Formation).

  • A Revised Position for the Rotated Falkland Islands Microplate
    1 A revised position for the rotated Falkland Islands microplate 2 Roxana M. Stanca1*, Douglas A. Paton1, David M. Hodgson1, Dave J. McCarthy2 & Estelle J. 3 Mortimer1 4 1School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom 5 2Lyell Centre, British Geological Survey, Edinburgh EH14 4AP, United Kingdom 6 *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) 7 ABSTRACT: The early stages of transform margin formation are associated with crustal 8 fragmentation and block rotation. The restricted size of the resultant microcontinental blocks 9 precludes palaeogeographic reconstructions and reliable estimations of the amount of rotation 10 they can undergo. An example considered here is the Falkland Plateau. This is located adjacent to 11 the Agulhas-Falkland Fracture Zone/Transform and its westernmost province is the Falkland 12 Islands microcontinent. The position of the plateau and the islands prior to Gondwana break-up 13 remains contentious. This study integrates seismic reflection and gravity data to propose a 14 revised position of the Falkland Islands microcontinent constrained by: (a) the presence of a 15 mega-décollement, controlling the Gondwanide Orogen, described north of the Falkland Islands 16 and underneath South Africa and Outeniqua Basin, and (b) the similar architecture of fault 17 networks mapped north of the islands and in the northernmost Outeniqua Basin. This revised 18 position requires a re-evaluation of the timing and rate of rotation of the Falkland Islands 19 microcontinent and impacts the expected crustal architecture adjacent to the islands. Our model 20 yields rotation rates between 5.5° and 8° Myr-1, two potential times for rotation and predicts more 21 unstretched crust beneath the basin east of the Falkland Islands than previous models.

The status of CASG 71892 as the oldest known record of either of the two spp. of Uria was recently confirmed by the review of Watanabe et al. (2016). The younger of the two marine transgressions at the Tolstoi Point corresponds to the Bigbendian transgression (Olson, 2013), which contains the Gauss-Matuyama magnetostratigraphic boundary (Kaufman and Brigham-Grette, 1993). Attempts to date this reversal have been recently reviewed by Ohno et al. (2012); Singer (2014), and Head (2019). In particular, Deino et al. (2006) were able to tightly bracket the age of the reversal using high-precision 40Ar/39Ar dating of two tuffs in normally and reversely magnetized lacustrine sediments from Kenya, obtaining a value of 2.589 ± 0.003 Ma.

Titanosaur trackways from the Late Cretaceous El Mo- lino Formation of Bolivia (Cal Orck’o, Sucre). Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 88: 223 – 241. Abstract: The Cal Orck’o tracksite is exposed in a quarry wall, approximately 4.4 km NW of Sucre (Department Chuquisaca, Bolivia) in the Altiplano/Cordillera Oriental, in the El Molino Formation (Middle Maastrichtian). Fossiliferous oolitic limestones, associated with large, freshwater stromatolites and nine levels of dinosaur tracks in the El Molino Formation document an open lacustrine environment. The main track-bearing level is almost vertical with a surface area of ~ 65,000 m2. The high-resolution mapping of the site from 1998 to 2015 revealed a total of 12,092 individual dinosaur tracks in 465 trackways. Nine different morphotypes of dinosaur tracks have been documented. Amongst them are several trackways of theropods, orni- thopods, ankylosaurs and sauropods, with the latter group accounting for 26% of the trackways.

  • Analysis of Titanopodus Tracks from the Late Cretaceous of Mendoza, Argentina
    “main” — 2011/1/12 — 13:08 — page 1 — #1 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences) Printed version ISSN 0001-3765 / Online version ISSN 1678-2690 www.scielo.br/aabc Speeds and stance of titanosaur sauropods: analysis of Titanopodus tracks from the Late Cretaceous of Mendoza, Argentina BERNARDO J. GONZÁLEZ RIGA Departamento de Paleontología, IANIGLA, CCT-CONICET-Mendoza, Avda. Ruiz Leal s/n, Parque Gral. San Martín (5500) Mendoza, Argentina/Instituto de Ciencias Básicas, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo Manuscript received on November 13, 2009; accepted for publication on June 21, 2010 ABSTRACT Speed estimations from trackways of Titanopodus mendozensis González Riga and Calvo provide information about the locomotion of titanosaurian sauropods that lived in South America during the Late Cretaceous. Titanopodus ichnites were found at Agua del Choique, a newly discovered track site in the Loncoche Formation, Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian of Mendoza, Argentina. This speed study follows the hypothesis of dynamic similarity proposed by Alexander. As a refinement of this method, a complementary equation is presented here based on an articulated titanosaurian specimen collected in strata that are regarded as correlative to those that have yielded Titanopodus tracks (Allen Formation, Neuquén Basin). This analysis indicates that hip height can be estimated as 4.586 times the length of the pes track in derived titanosaurs. With an estimation of the hip height and the stride measurements, the speed is calculated. The study of two wide-gauge trackways indicates that Titanopodus ichnites were produced by medium- sized titanosaurs (hip height of 211-229 cm) that walked at 4.7-4.9 km/h towards the south and southwest, following, in part, a sinuous pathway.
