| Resumo: | The southern Buenos Aires province, between the Colorado and Negro rivers, is characterized by a wide variety of geomorphologic environments mostly linked to fluvial and littoral dynamics. The coastal region includes deposits realted to both, progradation processes of the Colorado River delta, and Quaternary eustatic variation. At the final stretch of the Colorado River delta there are deposits of the Holocene-Pleistocene marine ingression, alternating with fluvial deposits, suggesting deltaic progradation over older intertidal or supratidal deposits. Farther south, the San Blas region has been repeatedly occupied by Quaternary marine transgressions, being those deposits of the MIS 1 and 5e, best represented in the landscape as littoral ridges, beach strand plains and tidal plains at maximum heights of 6 and 10 m respectively. Other older transgressive episodes have been observed, and tentatively assigned to the MIS 7 and ≥9, represented by thin deposits, often forming hillocks, sometimes elongate, along a plain slightly sloping to the sea. In turn, the last of these transgressions could be subdivided, on the basis of altimetric differences and cementation degree, into two independent units. |
