The Paleozoic and Andean magmatic arcs of West Antarctica and southern South America
The evolution of magmatic activity along the Pacific margin of southern South America and West Antarctica is considered in terms of the alignment, timing and petrogenesis of calc-alkaline granitoid emplacement. Distinct lower Paleozoic, upper Paleozoic to Triassic, and Triassic/earliest Jurassic bel...
