Counterclockwise tectonic rotation of the Del Salto Formation (Lower Permian), San Juan Province

A palaeomagnetic study was made on the Early Permian Del Salto Formation, exposed in the Western Precordillera (31.3°S, 69.2°W). Eleven sites were sampled for siltstone and fine-grained sandstone in the middle-upper part of the succession exposed in the creek at kilometre 114, San Juan. Standard dem...
