Convergence in the western margin of South America during the Cenozoic: Subduction of Nazca, Farallon and Aluk plates
New Late cretaceous to Recent reconstructions between south America and me oceanic plates in the Pacific basin allow thedivision of the corresponding convergence History into three stages, The convergence parameters for the 72-47 Ma time span suggest the migration of the Farallón-South America-Aluk...
