We present new data on the Vichigasta Carboniferous paleovalley, a glacial trough crucial to understand the type of glaciation that affected western Gondwana during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA). The filling of this paleovalley starts soon after the mid-Carboniferous glacial peak. Stage I repres...
