Paleomagnetic evidence for a pre-early Eocene (~50 Ma) bending of the Patagonian orocline (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina): Paleogeographic and tectonic implications
The southernmost segment of the Andes of southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego forms a ~700 km long orogenic re-entrant with an interlimb angle of ~90° known as Patagonian orocline. No reliable paleomagnetic evidence has been gathered so far to assess whether this great orogenic bend is a primary...
