Abstract:

A palaeomagnetic study of Upper Palaeozoic rocks was performed on Paganzo basin, central-western Argentina and its western extension, Río Blanco subbasin. The volcanic-volcaniclastic Rio del Peñón and marine sedimentary Punta del Agua formations were sampled in the Rincón Blanco syncline. Both units represent the Upper Carboniferous-Lower Permian transition according to palaeontological and geochronological evidence. The Chancani and Cerro Colorado-Caminiaga formations were sampled in their type localities, in the eastern Paganzo basin. All-reversed, pre-tectonic characteristic magnetizations were isolated in all three localities, spanning a wide lithological variation. Particularly in the Rincón Blanco syncline, the same reversed magnetization is observed in the entire 1500 m-thick sequence in volcanic and sedimentary rocks; at least part of the deformation there is thought to be Permian in age, related to the San Rafael orogenic phase (SROP). The palaeomagnetic poles are: Rincón Blanco (RB) Lat. 77°S, Long. 294°E, N = 19, A95 = 4.9, K = 47; Chancaní (CH) Lat. 85°S, Long. 359°E, N = 3, A95 = 8.8, K = 196; Cerro Colorado-Caminiaga (CC) Lat. 79°S, Long. 291°E, N = 6, A95 = 8.0, K = 71. Neither of the poles is coincident with expected Late Carboniferous-Early Permian directions according to accepted apparent polar-wander paths (APWPs) from South America and from other plates forming Pangaea in Late Palaeozoic times. This discrepancy could be the result of: (i) polar wander affecting the western Gondwana margin, probably related to SROP; (ii) tectonic rotations related to strike-slip faults active in the area since the Palaeozoic and controlling the position of the main depocentres; (iii) incorrect age assignment for the sedimentary sequences or for the remanence acquisition, i.e. local remagnetizations. Tectonic rotations and local remagnetization have both been proven in particular localities and further work needs to be done to establish the Late Palaeozoic APWP for South America, however, SROP seems to have played a major role controlling both processes, rotation and remagnetization. © 2004 RAS.
