Mountain building in the Andes, the longest continental mountain range on Earth, started in
the Late Cretaceous but was highly diachronous. Reconstructing the timing of surface uplift …

This study provides an integrated review of plate tectonic models of the evolution of the
Antarctica–Patagonia connection compared to geological records collected on land in …

Theoretical analysis predicts that enhanced erosion related to late Cenozoic global cooling
can act as a first-order influence on the internal dynamics of mountain building, leading to a …

An appraisal of Paleogene floral and land mammal faunal dynamics in South America
suggests that both biotic elements responded at rate and extent generally comparable to …

The idea that South America was an island continent over most of the Cenozoic, during
which its unusual mammalian faunas evolved in isolation, is outstandingly influential in …

The Patagonian Andes recorded several episodes of active ridge subduction in the last 80
million years. An analysis of the spatial and temporal relation between the present segment …

The Chile Triple Junction (CTJ) episodically migrated northward during the past 14 Ma from
54° S to its present‐day position at 46° 30′ S, as different almost trench‐parallel spreading …

We conducted a preliminary structural and tectonic analysis of the region north and south of
the Lake General Carrera–Buenos Aires (LGCBA, Southern Patagonian Andes, Chile and …

This study describes the notoungulates and litopterns (endemic South American ungulates)
from the Chucal Fauna of northern Chile. Eight species are known to date, including seven …

The Laventan Quebrada Honda Fauna of southern Bolivia is one of the best sampled middle
Miocene South American faunas. The present study describes the toxodontid, interatheriid …
