Caracterización de las facies volcano sedimentarias de la formación Chuschín, sector sur occidental del Sistema de Famatina, provincial de La Rioja

Abstract

The Chuschín Formation is a volcano-sedimentary succession that is found in the south-western section of the Famatina System and its genesis is linked to the evolution of the Western margin of Gondwana during the Lower and Middle Ordovician. Facies analysis carried out in the Chuschín Formation allows characterizing the nature of volcano-sedimentary deposits and understanding some process of volcanism and sedimentation in this part of the Famatinian magmatic arc. The volcano-sedimentary succession includes three coherent volcanic facies: massive rhyodacite, banded rhyolite and massive rhyolite with spherulitic texture. Volcaniclastic facies are divided into autoclastic, pyroclastic, and volcanogenic deposits. Several rocks including hyaloclastic breccia, lapilli tuffs, vitrophyric tuffs, massive monomictic breccia, massive polymictic breccia and tuffaceous sands are recognized within the volcaniclastic facies. Epiclastic facies occur in subordinate abundance and are characterized by alternating laminated metagreywacke with massive and laminated metasiltstone. Lithological diversity and facies association in the Chuschín Formation reflect several events of silicic eruptive volcanism mostly emplaced under sub-aqueous conditions associate with explosive volcanism. The main characteristics of eruptive and explosive volcanism inter-stratified with volcaniclastic deposits suggest that these rocks were sourced from a nearby volcanic edifice. Whereas, epiclastic facies are material deposited fallout and sedimentation by turbidity currents in low energy environments.

La Formación Chuschín constituye una sucesión volcano-sedimentaria presente en el sector sur-occidental del Sistema de Famatina, asociada al arco magmático desarrollado en el borde occidental de Gondwana durante el Ordovícico Inferior y Medio. El análisis de facies realizado para esta formación, ha permitido caracterizar los depósitos y definir algunas de las características del volcanismo y sedimentación vinculado con la evolución del arco famatiniano. En el área de trabajo han sido definidas, para la Formación Chuschín, facies volcánicas coherentes, tales como riodacita masiva, riolita bandeada y riolita masiva con textura esferulítica. Otro tipo de facies interpretadas corresponde a las del tipo volcaniclásticas, ya sean autoclásticas, piroclásticas y volcanogénicas. Entre este tipo de facies se han descriptos tobas-lapilíticas, tobas vitrofíricas, brechas monomíctica y polimíctica, y arenisca tobácea. Además en el área se diferenciaron facies epiclásticas denominadas como metagrauvaca laminada y metapelitas masivas y laminadas. Las características litológicas y asociaciones faciales que integran la Formación Chuschín evidencian tanto eventos de volcanismo lávico de composición silícica emplazado en ambiente subácueo, así como también eventos de volcanismo explosivo. El registro de volcanismo efusivo y explosivo se interdigita con depósitos volcaniclásticos cuyas características sugieren proximidades al edificio volcánico y sedimentos epiclásticos asociados a procesos de decantación y corrientes de turbidez en ambientes de baja energía.
