Cenozoic tectonic, volcanic and sedimentary cycles in southern Mendoza province, Argentina (35°-37°S y 69°30'W)

This article describes the volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy and their associated processes with the Andean deformation during the Late Cretaceous to Late Pliocene. The studied area is located between the Atuel and Barrancas rivers and the Main Cordillera, in southern Mendoza, Argentina. Three t...
