Abstract
We report the discovery of massif-type anorthosites
in the Andean basement of the Western
Sierras Pampeanas of Argentina. U–Pb zircon
dating (by sensitive high-resolution ion
microprobe) of a cogenetic gabbronorite dyke yields ages of
1070 ± 41 Ma for igneous emplacement and 431 ± 40 Ma for
metamorphism. These anorthosites are petrologically and
geochemically comparable with those of the Grenville province
of Laurentia. Palaeogeographical reconstructions of
Rodinia at 1.0–1.1 Ga suggest that the Sierras Pampeanas
anorthosites were part of a large anorthosite province in the
late Mesoproterozoic.
