          Abstract

          En la cantera Green, sector austral de la provincia de San Luis, afloran escasamente esquistos de grano mediano cuarzo-feldespático-biotíticos de origen sedimentario. Estos afloramientos están limitados por el este por la falla Lonco Vaca, de orientación norte-sur y alcance regional. La datación U-Pb SHRIMP de 42 circones detríticos indica que la mayoría de los granos son neoproterozoicos (n =20) y cámbricos (n =13). La edad del circón detrítico más joven es ca. 500 Ma, lo cual corresponde a la edad máxima de depositación, indicando que la sedimentación ocurrió durante el Cámbrico Superior-Ordovícico. Los esquistos de la cantera Green pertenecerían a una secuencia supracortical originada en una cuenca de antepaís durante el Cámbrico Superior-Ordovícico en el margen sudoccidental de Gondwana. Metasedimentos equivalentes y contemporáneos afloran en la sierra de Lonco Vaca (La Pampa). Los metasedimentos de la Formación San Luis también serían equivalentes y parcialmente contemporáneos.

          Translated abstract

          At the Green quarry, southern San Luis province, there are scarse exposures of medium grained quartz-plagioclase-biotite schists of sedimentary origin. These outcrops are bounded to the east by a major N-S trending (Lonco Vaca) fault. U-Pb SHRIMP dating of 42 detrital zircons indicate that most grains are Neoproterozoic (n=20) and Cambrian (n=13). The age of the youngest detrital zircon is ca 500 Ma, which corresponds to the maximum age for the onset of sedimentation, indicating that deposition occurred during the Upper Cambrian- Ordovician. Equivalent and coeval metasediments are exposed in the sierra Lonco Vaca (La Pampa province). The metasediments of the San Luis Formation would also be equivalent and partly contemporaneous.
