| Abstract | Geolog y and petrolog y of Tres Cerritos granite, southern extreme of the Quilmes range, and its relathionship with the Devonian-Carboniferous magmatism of the Pamepean Ranges Tres Cerritos granite is located in the extreme southern of Quilmes range, Catamarca province, in the Sierras Pampeanas Septentrionales. The metamorphic basement is composed of low to medium grade schists belonging to Tolombon Complex. It presents thermal metamorphism with development of porfiroblasts of cordierite and biotite. The Tres Cerritos granite crops out in two sectors, one more extensive, with an area of 6 Km 2 of surface, with its major axis of 4 Km of course submeridional, and other smaller, outcropping to west of study zone, of 1,9 km long by 250 m wide. Compositionally varies between sienogranite and monzogranite and presents three facies: porfhiric biotitic, porfiric moscovitic and equigranular moscovitic. Geochemically is a calc-alkaline granite, peraluminous, rich in potassium. According datings K / Ar would this granite top Carboniferous age. The petrological, geochemical and geochronological characteristics are similar to that of the devonian-carboniferous intrusives of the Sierras Pampeanas of Catamarca, La Rioja, Cordoba and San Luis, so the Granite Tres Cerritos could be part of a post-orogenic or intraplate large magmatic event of regional extension that affected the Sierras Pampeanas during the Devonian-Carboniferous. |
