Efusiones subácueas del arco volcánico ordovícico en el norte del Sistema de Famatina

Abstract

La sucesión volcánica - sedimentaria analizada, ubicada entre los 27°47´00" - 27°49´18" S y 68°04´52" - 68°02´27" O en la sierra de Las Planchadas, norte del Sistema de Famatina, registra la evolución de un arco volcánico ordovícico. Sus represen­tantes volcánicos mayoritarios, lavas basálticas y en menor medida dacíticas, fragmentadas, autoclásticas e hialoclastitas indi­can el predominio de un volcanismo efusivo subácueo. Mientras tanto el elevado volumen de depósitos volcaniclásticos aso­ciados, especialmente en los tramos superiores, generados por flujos gravitacionales en masa, ya sea por corrientes de turbi­dez, como por flujos de detritos y vinculados con episodios de sedimentación sin-volcánicos, evidencian la eficiencia de los procesos de fragmentación y de la erosión recurrente durante la evolución de esta cuenca ordovícica. El contenido fosilífero en las facies volcanogénicas y las asociaciones de limolitas, fangolitas y psamitas finas con abundante material de origen pi­roclástico y lapilli acrecional, atestiguan en favor de un ambiente somero para su depositación. Las características de los de­pósitos volcanogénicos, su proveniencia prácticamente única, la variación de sus facies, junto a las características geoquímicas de sus representantes magmáticos apoyan la idea para la región de un volcanismo de arco ligado a la evolución de la cuenca, mientras tenía lugar un intermitente aporte de sedimentos intracuencales, debidos a la inestabilidad de la misma.

he volcanic -sedimentary sequence stu- died, exposed along the 27°47`00" - 27°49`18" S and 68°04`52" - 68°02`27" Win the sierra de Las Planchadas, northernFamatina System, records the evolution of an Ordovician volcanic arc. The main volcanic members are basaltic and daciticlavas and significant volumes of lava-derived clastic aggregates that are produced by quench fragmentation and gravitationalcollapse. Fragmented lavas, autobreccias and hyaloclastites are valuable indicators of the effusive volcanism under subaqueousconditions. The sequence, including debris-flows and turbidity-current levels, especially at the upper levels of the column, mayhave developed as a result of repeated syn-volcanic sedimentation events. The fossil content in the volcanogenic facies andlevels with pyroclastic clasts and accretionary lapilli reflect a shallow water depositional environment. An exclusive volcanicprovenance was recognized even in the epiclastic deposits, pointing to a continuous magmatic activity of the arc and an in-termittent intrabasinal contribution related to the instability events. The very high proportion of volcaniclastic deposits in thesequence, especially at the upper levels, indicates an efficient fragmentation processes as well as repeated erosion events du-ring the evolution of the Ordovician basin.
