A pedosedimentary succession of the Late Cenozoic of Zárate (Buenos Aires): Continental record of the MIS5 and older interglacial intervals
Pedosedimentary processes, recorded in a late Quaternary section near Zarate city, north Buenos Aires province are reconstructed in this study. Both field features and laboratory results were analyzed as a whole. Grain size, sand, silt and clay mineralogy, micromorphology, Rb and Sr concentrations,...
