Evidencias de procesos de fraccionamiento y mezcla de magmas en el Complejo Intrusivo Las Angosturas, Sistema de Famatina

Abstract

El Complejo Intrusivo Las Angosturas constituye el norte de la sierra de Narváez, en el Sistema de Famatina, noroeste de Argentina. Se trata de granitoides de edad ordovícica inferior cuya composición varía de tonalitas y leucotonalitas a granodioritas y monzogranitos, con biotita y hornblenda. En estas rocas se destaca la abundancia de enclaves de composición granodiorítica a tonalítica y diorítica a basáltica; cuya morfología, dimensiones y relaciones con el encajante es variable e indicativa de procesos de interacción de magmas de composición contrastada. Los datos petrográficos, mineralógicos y químicos permiten indicar como mecanismo más adecuado para la evolución de la serie de granitoides una diferenciación por cristalización fraccionada juntamente con un proceso de mezcla, definido por la interacción de un magma granodiorítico con un fundido básico, de origen profundo. El emplazamiento de los granitoides se produce en un arco magmático activo, conocido como arco famatiniano, al igual que para otras intrusiones de similar posición estratigráfica en el noroeste de Argentina.

Las Angosturas Intrusive Complex forms the northern segment of the sierra de Narváez, in the Famatina System of north-western Argentina. It consists of Lower Ordovician granitoids whose composition varies from tonalite and leucotonalite to granodiorite and monzogranite, with biotite and hornblende as the main mafic minerals. There remarkable abundance of granodioritic to tonalitic and dioritic to basic enclaves, whose morphology, size and relationships with the are variable is indicative of interactive processes between magmas of differing compositions. Petrographical, mineralogical and chemical studies suggest that the most appropriate mechanism for the evolution of the granitod series is one of differentiation by crystal fractionation, together with a process of mixing, involving the interaction between a granodioritic magma with a basic melt of deep origin. The emplacement of the granitoids produced an active magmatic arc, generally known as the Famatinian arc, and which has similar characteristics to other intrusive complexes of similar age in north-western Argentina.
