	Deformation Processes in the Andes - new Data and Problems: Abstracts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Since Miocene times the area of the Salar de Antofalla, located east of the present Andean volcanic arc, was an isolated area of continental sedimentation.
		In particular, faulting during the mid-Miocene (Quechua phase) led to a narrow, elongated broken-foreland basin (Salar de Antofalla basin).
		Normal faults are especially frequent on both rims of the southern Salar de Antofalla and are interpreted as progressive step faults, triggered by gravitational effects.

		We departure towards “Antofalla”, 100 kilometers away, along “Quebrada del Diablo”, with a pass that is at 4400 meters in altitude.
		This is a good opportunity to put each one´s reactions to altitude to the test, without serious hitches since we quickly descend to 3300 meters, at the edge of Antofalla saltmine, which we go through so as to reach the “Botijuela” oasis.
		Some time later we arrive to “Antofalla”, where the warmest of welcomes of the 60 inhabitants is given to us.

		Thereby the attributes of the contaminant are changing between arc and back arc, because Sr and Pb isotopic data show an obvious zonation between the Andean Cordillera and the Antofalla region.
		Within the arc this trend is only weakly developed and the highest value reached is 0,70714 regardless of age or rock composition.
		With given SiO2 content volcanic rocks of the Antofalla region are displaced to higher Pb isotopic composition compared to arc rocks.

	Geology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In particular this research is focussed on the evolution of some of the crustal blocks that constitute southern South America (i.e.
		The Rio de la Plata cratonic block and the terranes of Patagonia, Precordillera, Famatina, and Antofalla) and their tectonic evolution prior to and during their assembly into Gondwana.
		Another project currently active involves the application of magnetic fabric studies to determine the emplacement processes and conditions of Paleozoic granites in the Pampean Ranges.

		How?: the natural salt of the earth in the mountains around, during the rains transport sediments to the lowest level of the landscape..........them after millons of years of this process and the evaporation under strong solar radiation, salt concentrates and actually we can see these salt flats.
		"Antofalla" is a nice one and we can see like islands the lava flow from the old Antofalla Volcano (snow caped in the back ground).
		After crossing over to one of the sides, we get to another small village of the same name where we will lunch in a family house sharing life with local people.

	Ordovician Magmatism of the Sierras Pampeanas
		The granitoids plutons correspond to the Macón, Chiquivar, Taca-Taca, Chuquilaqui, Arita, Archibarca, Antofalla, south of Petaquilla, Batin and Campo Negro, and the continuation in Chile in the Cordón de Lila and Almeida range, with the Choschas and Tucúcaro granitoids, all them are intrusives in sedimentary or metamorphic basement with ordovician ages or older.
		Miller (1999) interpreted the granitoids as originated from a transpressional collision.
		It is probable that they have been generated in the margin of the Arequipa- Antofalla massif, while the tardi to posttectonic granites of the central Batholithic Zone, have been generated from an ensialic, thickened crust for a rapid adiabatic decompression (Rossi et al.

	Andes 4x4 .:. [ Aventures extrêmes ] - Extreme expeditions - Itinerary 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Accomodations are correct, with three nights staying in a comfortable small hotel; another night in the house of our friend Manuel Ramos in Antofalla, modest but familiar, with beds, sheets, hot water; and finally the last night in the Plaza Hotel in La Rioja.
		The meals, elaborated and supervised by Nicole, are varied, plentiful and delicious (despite the sometimes adverse circumstances).
		Then we go down up to 3400 metres in altitude to cross Antofalla´s saltmine and finally arrive in Antofalla town where the warmest of welcomes of the 60 inhabitants is given to us.

		Nowadays Eduardo operates the Southern Minerals and Fossils and Meteorites.com web sites, and in addition to his Southern Minerals and Fossils room in 180 at the Ramada Inn, Eduardo is also showing his meteorites in Room 105 at the Inn Suites Show.
		New in Southern Minerals and Fossils' room this year were these snow white halites from Salar de Antofalla, Catamarca, Argentina.
		Halite [NaCl] is sodium chloride, aka salt and is undoubtedly one of, if not the first, mineral to be mined by prehistoric humans.

	Antofagasta de la Sierra, Argentina
		One can get there by plane to San fernando del Valle de Catamarca City and from it by car or bus through Nº 43 Provincial Road or Nº 38 National Road.
		It is a mountainous area with imposing geological formations such as Calalaste Mountains, Aguas Calientes, Antofalla Mountains, Los Colorados and Buenaventura Mountains where there are volcanoes, deserts and big extensions of land covered by salt marshes that make each area a peculiar beauty.
		The climate in this region of the country is dry and arid.
