Changing fluvial styles in volcaniclastic successions: A cretaceous example from the Cerro Barcino Formation, Patagonia

We interpret these changes in facies architecture as the response to alternated periods of high (intervals 1 and 3) and low (intervals 2 and 4) primary pyroclastic sediment supply. Moreover, there was a climatic change to wetter conditions (intervals 1 to 2-4); as well as intrabasinal tectonic activity in northern area for intervals 2 and 4 inferred from palaeocurrent data.
