Inherited Carboniferous to Permian zircons constrain the continuity of the Gondwanan continental arc beneath the central Chilean Andes (32-34° S)
This study investigates the crustal architecture and tectonomagmatic evolution of the central Chilean Andes (32-34° S) through new U-Pb zircon geochronology. Results from the western border of the Principal Cordillera (32-33° S) reveal a dominant late Carboniferous to early Permian inherited signature, accounting for 6...
