dc.description.abstract
Elastic properties in twelve representative rock samples from Central and Western Precordillera in the Andean backarc region of Argentina between 30 and 31S were estimated from detailed petrological analysis. Thus, P and S seismic-wave velocities (Vp, Vs) as well as Poisson´s ratio (s) among other parameterswere derived for gabbros, leuco-gabbros and wehrlites, in greenschist and amphibolite metamorphic conditions using a framework of a wide variety of empirical observations from active continental margins. In addition, Vs lithosphere models along two westeeast cross sections were obtainedusing a joint inversion of teleseismic Rayleigh waves and receiver functions. These models clearly delineate the upper-plate crustal structure and the flat-slab subduction of the Nazca plate at about 100 km depth in this region. The suggested seismic velocity structure shows a relatively low (<3.3 km/s) Vslayer located in the first 15e18 km depth, then an increase of it from 3.3 to 4 km/s between 20 and 55 km depth with a mayor change at 40 km depth beneath the Precordillera showing an increase in Vs from 3.3 to 3.8 km/s. The Moho discontinuity was identified at around 65 km depth beneath the Precordillera(Vs ¼ 4.3 km/s) and shows a low shear-wave velocity contrast in comparison with the upper continental mantle´s parameters. Using this seismological model, Vs estimations derived from the petrological analyses for the 12 collected samples can be projected at depths greater than 30 km. These geophysical andpetrological results agree with the hypothesis of a mafic thickened and partially eclogitized lower crust beneath the Precordillera, which has been predicted previously on a base of seismological studies only.Our petrological and seismological results collectively support a thick crustal model of a mafic eultramafic composition extending to middle-to-lower crustal levels beneath Central and Western Precordillera; this region correlates with a suture zone between the eastern Cuyania terrane and the western Chilenia terrane.
