    • Abstract Evidence from Cambrian to Devonian palaeogeography, the Laurentian provenance of Precordillera, and comparison of Lower Palaeozoic tectonic, metamorphic, and magmatic events, suggests a common collisional origin for the Taconian Appalachians and the Famatinian (Puna, Sierras Pampeanas, North Patagonian Massif) orogenic belt. Detached from Eastern Laurentia following collision, the Occidentalia terrane (west of the Famatinian orogenic belt) is partly covered by the Precordillera… CONTINUE READING
