“…However, in several locations pluton margins are defined by ductile shear zones (e.g., the Rio Claro pluton and northern tip of the La Escalarilla pluton; RC, LE, Figure 2) with a foliation subparallel to the internal fabric, which suggests syntectonic crystallization. Crystallization ages obtained from this suite of pretectonic to syntectonic granitoids are constrained to Early to Middle Ordovician by U/Pb zircon geochronology from several plutons (490 ± 15 Ma to 468 ± 6 Ma [Sims et al, 1998;Stuart-Smith et al, 1999;Von Gosen et al, 2002]; Figure 5). In addition, recent U/Pb zircon ages from the northern lobe of the elongate La Escalarilla granite (507 ± 24 Ma [Von Gosen et al, 2002] and 482 ± 23 Ma (L. P. Gromet, Brown University, personal communication, 2002) suggest that this section of the La Escalarilla pluton is a member of the EarlyMiddle Ordovician suite of syntectonic granitoids.…”

“…Southward extension of the arc includes the voluminous granitic rocks of the Sierras de Chepes Saavedra et al, 1998] and likely includes the elongate granitoids of the western Sierra de San Luis [Sims et al, 1997;Stuart-Smith et al, 1999] (Figure 9c). Development of the arc in the Sierras de Chepes and San Luis is constrained to the Early Ordovician by U/Pb and Rb/Sr granitoid crystallization ages of 490-468 Ma Sims et al, 1998;Stuart-Smith et al, 1999;Von Gosen et al, 2002]. The Late Cambrian (507 ± 24 Ma) crystallization age, reported by Von Gosen et al [2002] for the northern finger of the La Escalarilla pluton, is difficult to interpret within the Famatinian context, however the error bars permit emplacement during the early stages of the Famatinian Orogeny.…”

“…The basement of the Sierra de San Luis consists mainly of metamorphic and igneous rocks, including schists, migmatites, gneisses and phyllites (e.g., Ortiz Suárez et al, 1992;Von Gosen, 1998;Costa et al, 1998aCosta et al, , 2000Costa et al, 1 , 2001aCosta et al, , 2005Sato et al, 2003;González et al, 2004), which are intruded by granitoids of Cambrian to Early Carboniferous age (Llambías et al, 1991;Ortiz Suárez et al, 1992;Sims et al, 1997;Costa et al, 1998a;Von Gosen et al, 2002;Siegesmund et al, 2004;Morosini et al, 2017, among others). This basement was formed by accretion of multiple terranes during several orogenic cycles (i.e., Pampean, Famatinian and Achalian Orogeny) between the late Proterozoic and early Paleozoic (e.g., Ramos, 1988;Sims et al, 1998;Ramos et al, 2002;Steenken et al, 2004Steenken et al, , 2010Miller and Söllner, 2005;Ramos, 2008).…”

“…498±10 Ma) a partir de la que sugieren que el episodio de metamorfismo por el que fue afectado este complejo habría comenzado en el Cámbrico Superior y se habría extendido por alrededor de 46 Ma. Si bien la edad del metamorfismo y deformación penetrativa que afectó a las filitas de la Formación San Luis no ha podido ser establecida con precisión dado que no se dispone de datos isotópicos, se ha inferido que éstos habrían tenido lugar con antelación al emplazamiento de los granitoides no deformados del Ordovícico Temprano (von Gosen et al, 2002). En la sierra de Chepes, una edad U-Pb SHRIMP de 469±4 Ma obtenida para bordes sobrecrecidos de circones en granitoides fue interpretada como producto de un evento de deformación y/o calentamiento desarrollado luego de la cristalización de dichos cuerpos (Dahlquist et al, 2005b;Rapela et al, 2001).…”
