Published in the Geophysical Journal International: https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggw390 The gravity-derived Moho model for South America is in file model/south-american-moho.txt The image file "south-american-moho.png" is a preview of the model along side the differences between our model and the seismological estimates of Assumpção et al. (2013, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2012.11.014). In this figure, dotted lines represent the boundaries between major geologic provinces. AD: Andean Province, AFB: Andean foreland basins, AM: Amazonas Basin, BR: Brazilian Shield, BO: Borborema province, CH: Chaco Basin, GB: Guyana Basin, GU: Guyana Shield, PB: Parnaíba Basin, PC: Parecis Basin, PR: Paraná Basin, PT: Patagonia province, SF: São Francisco Craton, SM: Solimões Basin. Solid orange lines mark the limits of the main lithospheric plates. AF: Africa Plate, AN: Antarctica Plate, CA: Caribbean Plate, CO: Cocos Plate, SA: South America Plate, SC: Scotia Plate, NZ: Nazca Plate. The solid light grey line is the 35 km Moho depth contour.
