Based on an extensive literature dataset on Cenozoic intraplate basalts from Patagonia, Argentina, we provide a revised interpretation of the mantle sources of volcanism and suggest a relation to the South Atlantic hotspots and mantle flow. Furthermore, we present 16 elemental analyses of North Pata...
