Abstract
El granito de La Paya se localiza en la Sierra de Cachi (Salta,Argentina),
que pertenece a la Cordillera Oriental de Los Andes. Los nuevos datos estructurales
y cartográficos disponibles, combinados con el estudio de la
fábrica magnética del granito, ponen de manifiesto que: 1) El plutón es un
cuerpo laminar, de unos 400 metros de espesor, que dibuja un pliegue antiforme,
2) su techo corresponde a una zona de cizalla dúctil plegada. Las observaciones
de campo y microestructurales indican un emplazamiento sincinemático
del plutón, asociado al funcionamiento de una zona de cizalla extensional
que se plegó durante un episodio posterior compresivo
The La Paya granite is located in the Sierra de Cachi (Salta, Argentina) and belongs to the Eastern Cordillera of the Andean belt. New structural and cartographic data combined with the study of the magnetic fabric of the granite indicate that: 1) the pluton is a sheeted body, about 400 metres thick, that outlines an antiformal fold, 2) its roof is coincident with a folded ductile shear zone. Moreover, field and microstructural observations point to a syn-kinematic emplacement of the pluton linked to an extensional shear zone that was folded by a subsequent compressional event
