Description / Table of Contents:
The petrology of the Argentine Islands is described in detail. The oldest rocks are lavas and pyroclastic members of the Upper Jurassic Volcanic Group which have been intruded by pre-Andean dykes and sills. The Andean Intrusive Suite has metamorphosed and metasomatized the volcanic and hypabyssal rocks. There is a later dyke phase which cuts both the volcanic and plutonic rocks; finally, there are a few late comparatively unaltered Tertiary dykes. Eight new analyses of hypabysaal rocks are included, but the composition range is too small to show conclusive trends.
