“…In these sectors, the fundamental evidence in support of the extension is the volumetric magmatism of the Rio Damas Formation, emplaced in a retroarc position in reference to the Jurassic arc location (Figure 1a) (Charrier et al, 2007). Records of extensional faulting are scarce, restricted to isolated outcrops, inferred from balanced structural sections that require the addition of local graben and half‐graben structures, or from isopach maps (Acevedo et al, 2020; Cegarra & Ramos, 1996; Giambiagi et al, 2003; Mardones et al, 2021; Martos et al, 2020; Mescua et al, 2008, 2014; Pángaro et al, 1996; Vicente & Leanza, 2009). These Late Jurassic normal faults have consistent NNW, N or NE strike directions, although some of them are inferred or indirectly measured (Figure 12c) (Acevedo et al, 2020; Cegarra & Ramos, 1996; Giambiagi et al, 2003; Mardones et al, 2021; Martos et al, 2022; Mescua et al, 2020; Pángaro et al, 1996).…”

“…The distance between sections is not to scale. thick was not deposited (Fennell et al, 2020); (iii) in the northernmost Neuquén Basin there is no record of Precuyo (Figure 12b), however, at these latitudes, there are several proposals of Late Jurassic extension (Acevedo et al, 2020;Cegarra & Ramos, 1996;Giambiagi et al, 2003;Vicente & Leanza, 2009); (iv) the Río Damas Formation (Chilean equivalent of the Tordillo Formation) reaches thickness values of 5 km (Klohn, 1960), which could not be explained only by differential compaction; (v) differential compaction associated faults would show maximum displacement in the lower post-rift and a gradual upwards decrease in throw, instead of discrete pulses of reactivation (Worthington & Walsh, 2017). On this basis, differential compaction cannot account for the magnitude of subsidence required to explain the Late Jurassic deposition of the Tordillo and Rio Damas Formations, though it might have been responsible to some degree as a secondary process.…”

“…Between the Middle Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous, sedimentation was mostly controlled by thermal subsidence, and the first widespread marine transgressions occurred. Some authors show evidence of an extensional pulse during the Late Jurassic (Acevedo et al, 2020(Acevedo et al, , 2022Martos et al, 2020;Mescua et al, 2008;Sruoga et al, 2011) and even flexural subsidence caused by the magmatic arc load was proposed to explain the significant thickness increase toward the western margin for some intervals of this period (Spalletti, 2013). The sea-level changes and the magmatic-arc dynamics controlled the successive marine transgressions and regressions into the basin from the proto-Pacific Ocean until the late Early Cretaceous (Spalletti, 2013).…”
