Geodynamic evolution of the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas (Central Argentina) based on geochemical, Sm-Nd, Pb-Pb and SHRIMP data

Whole-rock geochemical analyses using major and trace elements in combination with the Sm-Nd and Pb-Pb isotope systems, together with SHRIMP age dating on metasedimentary rocks from the Sierras de Chepes, the Sierras de Córdoba, the Sierra Norte and the San Luis Formation in the Sierra de San Luis,...
