The host rock of the central Patagonian batholith in Gastre: Further insights on the late Triassic to early Jurassic deformation in the region
Small outcrops of biotitic-amphibolic schists and amphibolites found in two localities suggest that the Cushamen Formation is host rock of the Central Patagonian Batholith in Gastre. The characteristics of these rocks were investigated using structural, petrographic, magnetic fabric, and garnet chem...
