History of Development
Explanations:
– A. Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous
fine to silicoclastic deposition.
– B and C. Shortening process Peruvian &
Inca & Quechua phase,
compressional/extensional events.
– D. Affected by polygenetic Tertiary pre-
syn mineral magmatism, followed up by
hydrothermalism and mineralization.
