Rock magnetism in late Cenozoic sediments at San Antonio de Areco, Buenos Aires province

A geological and geophysical study in fluvial post-pampean sediments cropping out on the right bank of the Rio Areco was carried out. The sequence studied comprises the Guerrero and Río Salado members of the Luján Formation, in which three palaeosols are developed. The geophysical studies suggest an...
