Meso-cenozoic depocenters and tectonic features of the rio de la plata crystalline basement (Argentina and Uruguay)

In the present work the morphothectonic characteristics of the Mesozoic to Cenozoic sedimentary records overlying on the Río de la Plata basement, located between Argentina and Uruguay, are described. This characterization is based on the interpretation of subsurface data in the context of the south...
