La faja corrida y plegada de Chos Malal se localiza al noroeste de la provincia de Neuquén e involucra más de 4.500 metros de sedimentos los cuales fueron depositados en la cuenca neuquina y posteriormente deformados durante la orogenia andina. En base a un detallado trabajo de campo se reconstruyó la geometría de las estructuras a lo largo de 4 perfiles E-O de 40 km de longitud, en los cuales se diferencian dos sectores: uno con la participación del basamento en la deformación y otro con deformación de la cubierta sedimentaria. La Cordillera del Viento es una gran cuña que involucra el basamento pre-jurásico y a los Grupos Cuyo y Lotena, hasta alcanzar los niveles de yeso de la Formación Auquilco, los cuales constituyen un primer nivel de despegue dentro de la cubierta sedimentaria. Se propone que este despegue se ubica en un nivel más profundo que lo propuesto por otros autores en base al retrocorrimiento del Retrocorrimiento El Alamito, el cual cabalga parte de la Formación Tordillo sobre la Formación Vaca Muerta. A partir de la interpretación de las líneas sísmicas se reconocieron e interpretaron tres escamas tectónicas que involucran al basamento para la sección localizada más al norte, la cual coincide con las mayores alturas observadas de la Cordillera del Viento y dos cuñas para las tres secciones restantes. La restitución de las estructuras desarrolladas en la cubierta sedimentaria permitió calcular un acortamiento de 15,7 km (28,1%), 15,7 (28,1%), 14,85 (27%) y 14,12 (26,23%) respectivamente para cada una de las secciones evidenciando que toda la región de la faja plegada estudiada ha sufrido una contracción relativamente homogénea. La deformación en el área habría estado relacionada inicialmente a un pulso compresivo Cretácico Tardío- Eoceno, pero la mayor parte de la deformación se habría producido durante otro importante pulso acontecido durante el Mioceno, tal como lo evidencia los análisis de trazas de fisión en apatito.

Based in detailed field work, we reconstruct the geometry of the structures along four E-O profiles with two different sectors: one with the basement participation in the deformation and the other with the deformation in the sedimentary cover. The Cordillera del Viento is a huge basement wedge that involves paleozoics rocks and the Lotena and Cuyo Groups, and reach the beds of Auquilco Formation, which represents the first significant detachment level in the cover. This detachment, localized on a more deep level than those proposed by other authors, is strongly suggested by the Alamito Backthrust, which overthrusts part of the Tordillo Formation over the Vaca Muerta Formation. From the interpretation of seismic lines two more wedges were recognized in depth for the first section, this is agreement with the higher elevations in this sector, and an additional wedge in the three remaining sections. The restitution of the structures developed in the sedimentary cover allowed us to calculate of 15.7 km (28.1%), 15.7 km (28.31), 14.85 km (27%) y 14.12 km (26.23%) of shortening respectively for each of the sections. The deformation in the area have been related to compressive event during Late Cretaceous, but also other important pulse occurred during the Miocene, as evidenced by the analysis of fission tracks in apatites. Keywords: Andean Orogen, thin and thick deformation, kinematic evolution, Cordillera del Viento, fission tracks in apatites

O mapeamento geológico permitiu a identificação de duas fácies petrográficas no Granito Morrinhos, sendo: Hornblenda-biotita granodiorito e Biotita monzogranito, das quais a primeira predomina em extensão areal. Macroscopicamente, a primeira fácies caracteriza-se por rochas leucocráticas, cinza-claro, constituídas de quartzo, plagioclásio, feldspatos alcalinos, biotita e hornblenda, diferentemente da fácies Biotita monzogranito que consiste de rochas leucocráticas, cinza-rosado, tendo biotita como único máfico essencial. Ambas foram metamorfizadas na fácies xisto verde. Quimicamente, esses litotipos caracterizam uma sequência ácida formada por um magmatismo subalcalino, do tipo álcali-cálcico, metaluminoso a levemente peraluminoso, com algumas feições de granitos do tipo A, evoluído por meio de mecanismos de cristalização fracionada. Dados estruturais exibem registros de duas fases deformacionais, representadas pela xistosidade (S1) e clivagem de crenulação (S2) de atitude preferencial, respectivamente, de 220/80 e 350/85, ambas, provavelmente, relacionadas à Orogenia San Ignácio. Determinação geocronológica obtida pelo método U-Pb (SHRIMP) e geoquímica isotópica (Sm-Nd) dessas rochas indicaram, respectivamente, idade de cristalização 1350 ± 12 Ma, TDM em torno de 1,77 Ga e valor negativo para εNd(1,35) de -2,57. Os resultados aqui obtidos sugerem que o Granito Morrinhos tenha sido gerado em arco magmático continental, em estágio pós-colisional, da Orogenia San Ignácio e permite reconhece-lo como parte da Suíte Intrusiva Pensamiento. / This work presents the geologic, petrological, and geochronological data of Morrinhos Granite belonging to Pensamiento Intrusive Suite, located in the areas of Paraguá Terrain, southwestern portion of the Amazonian Craton. Geological mapping allowed the identification of two facies in Morrinhos Granite, which are: Hornblende-biotite granodiorite e Biotite monzogranite, the first of which predominates in areal extent. The first facies is characterized by leucocratic rocks, light gray, consisting of quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar, biotite and hornblende, unlike facies Biotite monzogranite, that is consisting of pinkish gray leucocratic rocks, with biotite as the only mafic essential. Both metamorphosed at greenschist facies. Chemically, these rock types characterize an acid sequence formed by sub alkaline magmatism, alkali-calcic metaluminous to slightly peraluminous type with some features A-type granites as standard evolved through fractional crystallization mechanisms. Structural data show two phases of deformation represented by the schistosity (S1) and cleavage crenulation (S2) with preferential attitude, respectively, 220 /80 and 350/85, both probably related to San Ignácio Orogeny. Geochronological determination obtained by the U-Pb (SHRIMP) and isotope geochemistry (Sm-Nd) of these rocks indicate, respectively, crystallization age 1350 ± 12 Ma, TDM around 1.77 Ga and negative value for εNd(1.35) of -2.57.The results obtained suggest that the Morrinhos Granite has been generated in a continental magmatic arc during the post colisional stage of San Ignacio Orogeny and allow to recognizes as an extension of Pensamiento Intrusive Suite.
