Paleomagnetism and geochemistry from the Upper Cretaceous Tres Picos Prieto locality (43°S), Patagonian Plateau Basalts Paleomagnetismo y geoquímica en la localidad de Tres Picos Prieto (43°S), Cretácico Superior, Basaltos de Plateau de Patagonia

A paleomagnetic study on nine samples from lavas from the Upper Cretaceous Tres Picos Prieto locality (43°50'S and 70°3'W), Patagonian Plateau Basaltic Province, revealed that a ca. 300 m thick pile of basalts accumulated during three discrete (i.e., temporally separated) volcanic episodes...
