Ramírez de Velasco basalts: New outcrops of basic rocks in the homonymous range, Santiago del Estero

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

In this paper new basaltic outcrops from Ramírez de Velasco ranger (Santiago del Estero province) are described. They are basaltic dikes that vary from few meters to two kilometers long across the igneous basement. All these rocks show dark colors with aphyric (S9 sample) to porphyritic (S17 and S20...
