Abstract
La Sierra de Pie de Palo (SPP, Sierras Pampeanas Occidentales) presenta evidencia de dos metamorfismos: uno de edad mesoproterozoica (orogenia Grenvilliana) y otro de edad ordovícica (orogenia Famatiniana). Este último es el único registrado en las secuencias sedimentarias neoproterozoicas-cámbricas que forman la cubierta del basamento grenvilliano. Un esquisto estaurolítico procedente de la Secuencia Metasedimentaria Difunta Correa (Ediacarense) en el sector suroriental de la SPP permite deducir, mediante la construcción de pseudosecciones, una evolución prograda desde los ca. 3 kbar y 515 ºC hasta los ca. 9 kbar y 640 ºC correspondiente a un alto gradiente P/T. Junto con Loma de Las Chacras, ubicada inmediatamente al este del área de estudio, la Sierra de Pie de Palo forma parte del antearco famatiniano el cual muestra variaciones de P-T transversalmente al arco magmático famatiniano. Dichas variaciones se registran como una disminución de P (desde ca. 13 hasta 6 kbar), T (desde ca. 900 hasta 450 ºC) y gradiente geotérmico (desde ca. 85 hasta 35 ºC/kbar) desde el área adyacente al arco magmático al este (Loma de Las Chacras) en dirección hacia el margen continental activo al oeste. El sector más próximo al mismo es el Grupo Caucete en el flanco occidental de la Sierra de Pie de Palo. El metamorfismo ocurrió, aparentemente, de forma sincrónica con el magmatismo famatiniano y con un sistema de infra-corrimientos dúctiles de vergencia oeste, a los ca. 470-465 Ma como consecuencia de la inhumación del antearco por debajo del arco magmático.
The Sierra de Pie de Palo (SPP, Western Sierras Pampeanas) shows evidence of two regional metamorphisms: one Mesoproterozoic attributed to the Grenvillian orogeny and other of Ordovician age related to the Famatinian orogeny. The Neoproterozoic-to-Cambrian sedimentary successions that cover the Grenvillian basement only record the Ordovician event. One staurolite-schist from the Ediacaran Difunta Correa Metasedimentary Sequence collected in the southeastern side of the SPP allows to constrain, by means of pseudosections, a prograde evolution from ca. 3 kbar and 515 ºC up to ca. 9 kbar and 640 ºC corresponding to a high P/T gradient. The SPP and the immediately east Loma de Las Chacras outcrop were part of the famatinian forearc which shows a progressive decrease of P (from ca. 13 kbar to 6 kbar), T (from ca. 900 ºC to 450 ºC), and P/T gradient (from ca. 85 ºC/kbar to 35 ºC/kbar) towards the active continental margin on the west. The Caucete Group, in the western side of the SPP, represents the westernmost part of the forearc, near to the active continental margin. Metamorphism was apparently coeval with the Famatinian magmatism and with ductile underthrusting at ca. 470-465 Ma, which led to burial of the forearc beneath the magmatic arc.
