Las tempestitas peloidales de la Formación Vaca Muerta (Tithoniano-Valanginiano) en el sector surmendocino de la Cuenca Neuquina, Argentina
Palabras clave:
Tempestitas, Pseudomatriz Carbonática, Rampa Carbonática, Jurásico- Cretácico.Resumen
Se analizan los depósitos de tormenta de dos secciones estratigráficas de la Formación Vaca Muerta (Tithoniano-Valanginiano) en el área de Bardas Blancas, sur de la provincia de Mendoza. Estos depósitos incluyen: a) depósitos con estratificación entrecruzada de bajo ángulo; b) depósitos con estratificación entrecruzada hummocky de pequeña y gran escala; y c) depósitos laminados con gradación normal intralámina. Las secuencias completas con HCS están compuestas por tres unidades (Sa, Sb y Sc) asociadas al evento de tormenta y una unidad que incluye depósitos de post-tormenta y de buen tiempo (Sd). La comparación con ejemplos actuales y ejemplos del registro, permite estimar un rango batimétrico de 25 a 50 m para los depósitos con estratificación entrecruzada hummocky. Asimismo se discuten posibles orígenes alternativos relacionados con inestabilidades en la interfase de la picnoclina y los efectos de la compactación sobre la preservación de las texturas y estructuras primarias de los depósitos de la Formación Vaca Muerta.
