New Early Cretaceous palaeomagnetic pole from Cordoba Province (Argentina): Revision of previous studies and implications for the South American database
A continental sequence of red beds and interbedded basaltic layers crops out in the Sierra Chica of Cordoba Province, Argentina (31.5°S, 64.4°W). This succession was deposited in a half-graben basin during the Early Cretaceous. We have carried out a palaeomagnetic survey on outcrops of this basin (1...
