Geology of El Misti volcano near the city of Arequipa, Peru
Jean-Claude Thouret,Anthony Finizola,Michel Fornari,Annick Legeley-Padovani,Jaime Suni,Manfred Frechen +5 more
TL;DR: The El Misti volcano as discussed by the authors has been known to produce pyroclastic-flow deposits and tephra-fall and surge deposits at an average eruption rate of 0.63 km3/k.y.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Permian–Middle Jurassic lithospheric thinning in Peru and Bolivia, and its bearing on Andean-age tectonics
Thierry Sempere,Gabriel Carlier,Pierre Soler,Michel Fornari,Víctor Carlotto,Javier Jacay,Oscar Arispe,Didier Néraudeau,José Cárdenas,Silvia Rosas,N. Jimenez +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, integrated studies and revisions of sedimentary basins and associated magmatism in Peru and Bolivia (8-22°S) show that this part of western Gondwana underwent rifting during the Late Permian-Middle Jurassic interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
40Ar/39Ar dating of the Jurassic volcanic province of Patagonia: migrating magmatism related to Gondwana break-up and subduction
TL;DR: The Mesozoic large igneous province (LIP) of Patagonia (southern South America) has been investigated by the 40Ar/39Ar method as mentioned in this paper, which shows a regular decreasing of ages from the ENE (187 Ma) to the WSW (144 Ma) along about 650 km, apparently related to the tectonic structure in half-grabens oriented NNW-SSE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jurassic back-arc and Cretaceous hot-spot series In the Armenian ophiolites — Implications for the obduction process
Yann Rolland,Ghazar Galoyan,Ghazar Galoyan,Delphine Bosch,Marc Sosson,Michel Corsini,Michel Fornari,Chrystèle Verati +7 more
TL;DR: The ophiolitic nappe of the Lesser Caucaus of Armenia has been identified in this article, which is similar to the OIB-type volcanic sequence on top of an obducted nappa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal Evolution of Magmatism in the Northern Volcanic Zone of the Andes: The Geology and Petrology of Cayambe Volcanic Complex (Ecuador)
Pablo Samaniego,Hervé Martin,Michel Monzier,Claude Robin,Michel Fornari,Jean-Philippe Eissen,Joseph Cotten +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Cayambe Volcanic Complex is inferred to come from a mantle wedge source metasomatized by slab-derived melts (adakites).
