Deciphering the geochemistry of two key Paleoproterozoic siliciclastic sequences of the Piedra Alta Terrane (Río de la Plata Craton, Uruguay)

The geochemistry of two metavolcano-sedimentary sequences deposited in the Piedra Alta Terrane is compared, and their geotectonic evolution is discussed. The Ojosmín Unit (OU) comprises MORB-like basic rocks at the base and a fine-grained siliciclastic sequence interpreted as marine turbidites towar...
