TLDR
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.

Geochemical variations in igneous rocks of the Central Andean orocline (13°S to 18°S): Tracing crustal thickening and magma generation through time and space

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect on magmatism of changing subduction geometry and crustal evolution of the upper continental plate during the Andean orogeny was addressed by compiling more than 1500 major and trace-element data points, and 650 Sr-, 610 Nd-, and 570 Pb-isotopic analyses of Mesozoic-Cenozoic (190-0 Ma) magmatic rocks in southern Peru and northern Chile (Central Andean Orocline), mostly from new data and the literature.

Deformation of the Central Andean Upper Plate System — Facts, Fiction, and Constraints for Plateau Models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively analyse the spatial pattern of deformation partitioning and of temporal accumulation in the Central Andes (15-26° S) with the aim of identifying those mechanisms responsible for initiating and controlling Cenozoic plateau evolution in this region.

Iron oxide-copper-gold deposits: an Andean view

TL;DR: In this paper, a genetic connection of the central Andean IOCG deposits with gabbrodiorite to diorite magmas from which the ore fluid may have been channelled by major ductile to brittle fault systems for several kilometres vertically or perhaps even laterally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lithospheric evolution of the Andean fold-thrust belt, Bolivia, and the origin of the central Andean plateau

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized model for the lithospheric evolution of the central Andean plateau between 188 and 208 S from Late Cretaceous to present was developed by integrating geophysical results of upper mantle structure, crustal thickness, and composition with recently published structural, stratigraphic and thermochronologic data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedimentary record of Andean mountain building

TL;DR: In this paper, the Andean orogeny is reconstructed by integrating regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation, provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing.

Mesozoic and Cenozoic Sequence Chronostratigraphic Framework of European Basins

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a state-of-the-art biochronostratigraphic record of depositional sequences in European basins for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uplift of the Central Andean Plateau and bending of the Bolivian orocline

TL;DR: In this paper, topographic data are combined with data on structure magmatism, seismicity, and paleomagnetism to support a simple kinematical model for the late Cenozoic evolution of the central Andes.

Mesozoic and Cenozoic Sequence Stratigraphy of European Basins

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the Mesozoic-Cenozoic stratigraphic succession of western Europe can be subdivided into a series of transgressive-regressive facies cycles (second order, 3-50 m.y.).

Subduction and collision processes in the Central Andes constrained by converted seismic phases

TL;DR: An intracrustal low-velocity zone, 10–20 km thick, is seen below the entire Altiplano and Puna plateaux, which is interpreted as a zone of continuing metamorphism and partial melting that decouples upper-crustal imbrication from lower-Crustal thickening.

Young mafic back arc volcanic rocks as indicators of continental lithospheric delamination beneath the Argentine Puna Plateau, central Andes

TL;DR: The spatial distribution of some major and trace element and isotopic characteristics of backarc Plio-Quaternary basaltic to high-Mg andesitic (51% to 58% SiO2) lavas in the southern Puna (24°S to 27°S) of the Central Andean Volcanic Zone (CVZ) reflect varying continental lithospheric thickness and the thermal state of the underlying mantle wedge and subducting plate.
