The
Tarija Valley Basin (Southern Bolivia) is filled with a ca. 150 m thick
Quaternary fluvial sequence (Tolomosa Fm), containing very rich mammal faunas
known since the XIX Century. A new detailed sedimentological and stratigraphical
study has been carried out in the Basin, coupled with geomorphological
investigations. Tephra layers, buried paleosoils and C14 dates on
peat and organic rich soils allowed thorough correlations between the
sections.
The
sequence is subdivided in two parts. The lower Ancňn Grande Unit, 50 m thick, is
made of shallow channels filled with planarly or trough cross-bedded gravels and
sands and gravity flow sediments. In the central part of the Basin there are
mainly slightly weathered or bioturbated pinkish-reddish sands and silts. On top
of the Unit, Ancňn Grande Log, there is a pedosequence made of several reddish
illuvial Bt or Btk horizons. The depositional environment is typical of a
braided plain, with the transition from coarser-grained alluvial fans, next to
the slopes, to finer-grained distal plain with periods of dense vegetational
cover. This Unit is conformably buried under the 100 m thick yellowish-greyish
and finer-grained S.Jacinto Unit. Close to the slopes, alluvial fans, whose flat
morphology is in place still preserved, are made of massive or trough cross
bedded gravels and sands. In the central part of the Basin there is a cyclic
repetition of channels filled with planarly cross bedded sands and thin gravelly
lags. On top of the channels massive or laminated slightly weathered silts, peat
layers, CaCO3 crusts and gypsum are present. Most of the mammal fauna
was found within this Unit deposited in a sandy-dominated meandering alluvial
plain with frequent channel avulsions and deposition of organic-rich layers
inside swamps reached by occasional crevasse channels and splays.
Depending
upon the Contributions, the definitive sessions will be announced on the third
Circular
The
Proceedings of the Meeting will be published on a Special Volume of Quaternary
International.
