Facies y ambientes sedimentarios de la Formacion Cancaniri (Silurico inferior) en la cumbre de La Paz, norte de la Cordillera Oriental de Bolivia /Diaz Martinez, Enrique SEDIMENTATION MARINE SEDIMENTOLOGIE ORDOVICIEN FACIES TECTONIQUE OROGENESE SILURIEN Facies analysis of a continuous outcrop of the Cancañiri Formation (latest Ashgillian-Llandoverina) at La Cumbre (NE of La Paz, Bolivia) allowed for a thorough interpretation of sedimentary processes and environments envolved during its deposition. Distal turbidites and dark shales indicate a deep marine (offshore) environment; whereas interbedded mud flows, debris flows and deformed slided slabs provide evidence for sediment instability and resedimentation. Outsized granite clasts indicate local glaciation of the source area. Tectonic deformation and the resulting reliefs may be identified as the origin for the instability and local glaciation, respectively (Résumé d'auteur). 1997 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010023227 fdi:010023227 Diaz Martinez Enrique.
