Auteur :
ESPIZUA, L.E.

Description :
In the Río Mendoza valley, five Pleistocene drifts and one Holocene drift are distinguished by multiple relative-age criteria, including surface-rock weathering, development of rock varnish, moraine morphology, soil profile development, and stratigraphic relationships. Several absolute ages suggest a preliminary chronology.
