Symposium "Tektonik, Struktur- und Kristallingeologie"}, year = {2006-03}, publisher = {Universitätsverlag Göttingen}, abstract = {The Chilean accretionary wedge is part of a Late Paleozoic subduction complex that developed during subduction of the Pacific plate underneath South America. The wedge is commonly subdivided into a structurally lower Western Series and an upper Eastern Series. Understanding the contact between both series has been a long standing problem and is fundamental for the understanding of the evolution of the wedge system. We show the progressive development of structures and finite strain from the least-deformed rocks in the eastern part of the Eastern Series of the accretionary wedge to higher grade schist of the Western Series at the Pacific coast...}, note = { \url {http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-1735-0000-0001-343D-2}}, }
