Sedimentología e icnología de la formación río Mayer, cuenca Austral, provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina

Abstract: El presente trabajo de tesis doctoral se centró en el estudio sedimentológico e icnológico de las sedimentitas marinas de la Formación Río Mayer, depositada en el Cretácico inferior de la Cuenca Austral. Dicha cuenca se ubica en el extremo suroccidental de la Patagonia abarcando un sector de Sudamérica que incluye el sur de Argentina y Chile, y representa una de las más importantes cuencas productoras de hidrocarburos de Argentina. El área de estudio contempla la región entre los lagos San Martín y Argentino e… Show more

“…This volcano-sedimentary complex is highly variable in thickness, reaching up to 150 m at the San Martín Lake (120 km northwards from Río Guanaco locality), while toward the south it is more than 1000 m thick (Riccardi, 1971;Ramos et al, 1982;Kraemer and Riccardi, 1997). On top of this complex, shallow-marine deposits of the Springhill Formation accumulated between the Tithonian and the Berriasian in response to an initial transgressive phase (Kraemer and Riccardi, 1997;Richiano, 2012). In the study area this unit varies in thickness between 15 and 70 m and fills half-grabens over the El Quemado Complex (Kraemer and Riccardi, 1997;Richiano, 2012).…”

In the study area this unit varies in thickness between 15 and 70 m and fills half-grabens over the El Quemado Complex (Kraemer and Riccardi, 1997;Richiano, 2012). The acceleration of the transgression during the Berriasian led to the accumulation of black shales of the Río Mayer Formation, marking the first episode of offshore sedimentation in the basin and the onset of postrift conditions (Arbe, 2002;Richiano, 2012).…”

“…Thermal Subsidence Stage.-Subsequent, thermal subsidence deposited the typical transgressive quartzose sandstones of the Springhill Formation. The Springhill Formation broadly overlaps the margins of the initial half-graben, and is overlain by a thick deep-marine succession, characterized by alternating black mudstones and marls of the Rı ´o Mayer Formation, which extends to the Albian (Richiano 2012). Towards the end of this stage (early Aptian-Albian), a large passive-margin delta system, the Piedra Clavada Formation, developed in the northern and eastern sectors of the basin.…”

“…Al norte de la cuenca la etapa de subsidencia termal (Tithoniano -Albiano) se relaciona con la depositación de la Formación Río Mayer y la progradación del delta de la Formación Piedra Clavada (Arbe, 2002), mientras que al sur con el desarrollo de una cuenca marginal conocida como cuenca de Rocas Verdes (Dalziel, 1981;Zilli et al, 2002), resultado de formación de corteza oceánica y apertura del Mar del Wedell (Robbiano et al, 1996). Al sur, durante esta etapa, se acumularon los depósitos marinos someros de la Formación Springhill y los depósitos marinos profundos de la Formación Río Mayer, como respuesta a una transgresión marina (Biddle et al, 1986;Kraemer y Riccardi, 1997;Rodríguez y Miller, 2005;Richiano, 2012;Cuitiño et al, 2019). La depositación de la Formación Río Mayer fue contemporánea con el desarrollo del Batolito Patagónico Sur (Hervé et al, 2007;Richiano et al, 2019), que se formó en el lado occidental del orógeno andino compuesto por plutones calcoalcalinos de composiciones desde gabros a granitos (Bruce et al, 1991).…”
