Upper Cretaceous intrusives in the Coastal Cordillera near Valdivia: forearc magmatism related to the passage of a triple junction?
ABSTRACT Upper Cretaceous intrusives of limited extent crop out in the Coastal Cordillera near of Valdivia (39°48' S), 100 km west of the main topographic divide of the Andean Cordillera. Given that plutonic rocks of the same age crop out at the same latitudes in the high Andes the coastal intr...

ABSTRACT Upper Cretaceous intrusives of limited extent crop out in the Coastal Cordillera near of Valdivia (39°48' S), 100 km west of the main topographic divide of the Andean Cordillera.
