Descripción
This study focuses on the stratigraphic and geochronologic analysis of the deposits related to the faulted active margin of the Cacheuta sub-basin, Cuyo Basin (Triassic), in NW-Argentina. This basin was mainly controlled by extensional tectonics along NW-trending structures inherited from Paleozoic sutures. The whole stratigraphic package of this basin is interpreted as a 2nd order depositional sequence. Lowstand deposits comprise coarse-grained alluvial fans (sheetflood and debris-flow deposits). Fluvial and minor lacustrine deposits with expressive volcaniclastic contribution make up the transgressive systems tract. The maximum flooding surface was traced on lacustrine black shales of the Cacheuta Formation (source rock for petroleum accumulations). The highstand system tract comprises fluvial meandering facies and more sparse volcanic contribution. U/Pb SHRIMP dating of a pyroclastic rock interlayered with basal alluvial fans yielded a magmatic age of 243 ± 4.7 Ma positioned in the Early to Middle Triassic.
O presente estudo discorre sobre a análise estratigráfica e a geocronologia dos depósitos relacionados a margem ativa falhada da sub-bacia de Cacheuta, Bacia de Cuyo (Triássico), NW-Argentina. Esta bacia foi condicionada principalmente pela tectônica extensional e controlada por estruturas de orientação NW, relacionadas à zonas de sutura Paleozóicas. O registro estratigráfico completo da Bacia de Cuyo foi considerado com uma seqüência depositional de 2a ordem. Os depósitos de lowstand compreendem fácies de leques aluviais derivados de processos de sheetflood e fluxo de detritos. Depósitos fluviais e, em menor proporção, lacustres com expressiva contribuição vulcanoclástica, caracterizam o trato de sistemas transgressivo. A superfície de máxima inundação foi traçada nos folhelhos pretos lacustres da Formação Cacheuta (rocha geradora de hidrocarbonetos). O trato de sistemas de highstand compreende depósitos relacionados à ação de canais fluviais meandrantes, sendo a contribuição vulcanoclástica pouco expressiva. Datação U/Pb SHRIMP em uma rocha piroclástica que ocorre intercalada aos leques aluviais basais forneceu idade magmática de 243 ± 4.7 Ma, posicionando estes depósitos no Eotriássico-Mesotriássico.
