Resumen
This contribution deals with the Corona Chico Vulcanites, within the Somún Curá Magmatic Province, northern Extra-Andean Patagonia. The studied area is located to the north of the Alta Sierra de Somún Curá Volcanic Complex and is made of several basaltic volcanic buildings of varied morphologies: spatter cones, tuff ring and long lava flows related to small shield volcanoes (of scutulum type). Petrographic characteristics as well as whole rock chemical composition suggest a time progressive increase in alkalis content and a shift from early transitional terms to basanitic rocks in the latest stages. A simulation of the source yielded for Las Lomadas rocks an astenospheric source in the garnet-spinel facies, with associated low partial melting percentages (< 7-8%). Within the studied rock set, the spatter cones sequence displays geochemical affinities with the basaltic component of Alta Sierra de Somún Curá Volcanic Complex.
