- Abstract
A geological map and a transect across the thick-skinned Eastern Cordillera and the transition between the thin-skinned Subandean Ranges and the thick-skinned Santa Barbara System (all of them NNE-SSW striking) interfered by the NE-SW trending rift called Lomas the Olmedo Trough, at a latitude comprised between 23° S and 24° S, were constructed. The available data allowed us to illustrate the geometry and the kinematic evolution of the structures formed during three main tectonic events recorded in this region: a Cenozoic contractional event (Andean orogeny), an extensional Cretaceous event and a Paleozoic event (?).
