Southern Central Andes at Mendoza province, Argentina, is characterized by a Permian-Triassic igneous basement that is unconformably overlaid by a thick Late Triassic-Tertiary sedimentary sequence. Both the basement and the sedimentary cover have been affected by Andean orogeny during Miocene to Pleistocene times and as a result, a thick-skinned fold-and-thrust belt was constructed. In the Atuel river valley area structural style was defined based on detailed surface survey and constrained with wells and seismic data.
