Geochemistry of the Mamil Choique granitoids at Rio Chico, Río Negro, Argentina: Late Paleozoic crustal melting in the North Patagonian Massif
The Mamil Choique granitoids located in the SW border of the North Patagonian Massif consist of three peraluminous units: the banded Huenchuquil tonalites and granodiorites (HTG) and the Cerro Mojón biotite-muscovite monzogranites (CMG), which are intruded by the Nahuelfil monzogranites (NG).
