Resumen:
This one-day field trip focuses on the
Ediacaran early Cambrian metasedimentary
strata of the Puncoviscana Formation
and the Cretaceous/Tertiary continental
sandstones and shales of the Salta and
Choromoro groups. These sedimentary
sequences cropout on San Javier range,
11 km to the west of the main plaza of
Tucumán.
The Puncoviscana Formation (s.l. )
represents the basement of the whole
sedimentary succession in the Lower
Paleozoic Central Andean Basin, while the
Salta and the Choromoro groups stands
for outstanding K/Paleogene and Cenozoic
continental units in NW Argentina.
A gentle geological field tour will be
driven visiting different touristic localities
as Villa Nougués, San Javier and Las Tipas.
Nearby geology, sugar cane fields, summer
houses, a waterfall in the rain forest and
outstanding sights will contribute to a
pleasant field trip.
