Estructura duplex plegada en el frente montañoso de la Cordillera Principal, río Atuel, provincia de Mendoza

Abstract

El objetivo de este trabajo es obtener una reconstrucción estructural de los afloramientos del alto valle del Río Atuel, al sudoeste de la provincia de Mendoza. Esta región forma parte del frente montañoso de la Cordillera Principal que fue construido por medio de sistemas de corrimientos. Cercano a la localidad de El Sosneado, entre los arroyos Blanco y La Manga, la secuencia estratigráfica está compuesta por rocas Mesozoicas que van desde la Formación Auquilco hasta la Formación Malargüe. Esta pila sedimentaria es afectada por sistemas de corrimientos que se despegan de la Formación Auquilco (yeso) cuya disposición en la zona de trabajo es moderadamente buzante al este. Este despegue está dirigido hacia el antepaís con sistemas de fallas y plegamiento asociado que se desarrollan encima del mismo. Estos sistemas de fallas parecen conectados con despegues de techo localizados principalmente en la Formación Huitrín y en la Formación Diamante, por lo tanto generando una geometría duplex. El frente de este duplex, que aflora en la margen occidental del Ao. La Manga, muestra a los estratos Mesozoicos invertidos. Esto sugiere que se trata de una estructura con características de un duplex antiformal que ha sido plegado. Una cuña tectónica basamental, que se propaga hacia el antepaís con retrocorrimientos en su frente y que está localizada en el subsuelo de esta región, es la responsable del volcado final de las estructuras descriptas.

The aim of this study is to attain a structural reconstruction of the outcrops at the high valley of Atuel River, southwest of Mendoza province, Argentina. This area form parts of the mountain front of the Principal Cordillera that was builted by means of thrust systems. In the studied region, between the Blanco and La Manga streams, near El Sosneado locality, the stratigraphic sequence is composed by Mesozoic rocks of Auquilco Formation up to Malargüe Formation. This sedimentary pile is affected by thrust systems that appear to detach the Auquilco Formation (gypsum) whose attitude in the study area is moderately dipping to the east. This detachment is directed to the foreland, with fault systems and associated folds developed above it. These fault systems seem to be connected with roof decollements located into Huitrín and Diamante Formations, thus achieving duplex geometries. The frontal portion of this duplex, outcroping at the western side of the La Manga stream, shows a inverted section of the Mesozoic strata. This suggests that it is a structure with the characteristics of a folded antiformal stack. A basement-driven tectonic wedge propagating into the foreland with backthrusts at the front, located underneath the studied area, is accountable for the final tilting of the described structures.
